NC Gov. Cooper: State of the State is 'bright and energized with the promise of tomorrow' #shorts
North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper urged legislators on Monday night to keep fueling opportunities for the state’s citizens to succeed through more monetary investments in K-12 education, mental health services and public safety.
“Our moment to build enduring prosperity is now. And I know that North Carolina is ready,” Cooper said while delivering what's likely his final biennial State of the State address to a joint House-Senate session at the Legislative Building.
The state of the state, the governor added at the close of his 34-minute televised speech, is “bright and energized with the promise of tomorrow.”
But Cooper — barred by the constitution from seeking a third consecutive four-year term in 2024 — also warned Republicans in charge of the General Assembly against passing ...

North Carolina Gov. Cooper to review Republicans' state budget
North Carolina Republicans have told Gov. Roy Cooper they'll release a state budget to him Monday for review, but that budget won't include Medicaid expansion.
In a statement last week, Cooper said the budget will "have a number of priorities that were proposed in his budget and discussed in negotiations." Medicaid expansion was one of Cooper's priorities but there wasn't enough Republican support for it to get through the General Assembly as part of the bill.
House Speaker Tim Moore had already said his caucus wouldn't support expansion, even as Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger was ready to accept it, given the right situation. Cooper has sought wholesale expansion of Medicaid since taking office in 2017.
After reviewing the budget, Cooper will either sign or veto the bill. North Carolina...

$29.3B proposed by NC Gov. Cooper for state budget
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said his proposed state budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 has sights set on everything from early childhood education to healthcare, while still cutting down on taxes. The price tag: $29,284,765,214.
Cooper was joined in a Wednesday afternoon news conference by Charlie Perusse, the state budget director, to discuss the details of the budget during an afternoon news conference. As he opened up his conference, Cooper applauded Republicans in the state General Assembly for working with Democrats and his office last year to come up with a budget and says they're doing the same thing in 2022.

But Cooper — barred by the constitution from seeking a third consecutive four-year term in 2024 — also warned Republicans in charge of the General Assembly against passing measures that would further attempt to limit abortion access and restrict voting. He said they could slow the state's economic engine. He pointed to other proposals that would limit how teachers can instruct students about race and sexuality and gender identity.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Tuesday that he will sign the budget proposal presented to him by top Republican lawmakers after lengthy negotiations.
"On balance, the good outweighs the bad," Cooper said. "It moves North Carolina forward in important ways, many that are critical to our state's progress as we move out of this pandemic."
Cooper said the budget is a "budget of missed opportunities and misguided opportunities," but praised the bipartisan effort between Republicans and Democrats. Republican leaders presented the budget Monday, promising massive infrastructure investments, raises for state employees and teachers, as well as an income tax cut. The budget does not include widespread Medicaid expansion, which has been one of Cooper's aspirations since taking office in 2017.
"I'm clear-eyed that there are ways we differed and places the Legislature got it wrong," Cooper said. "Most obviously, this budget fails to extend health care to hundreds of thousands of people by expanding Medicaid."
Cooper also criticized the tax breaks, which he claimed were directed more toward corporations and the wealthy than lower-income North Carolinians.
