TogetherNC, a coalition of non-profit organizations and other groups, recently created a video that points out losses the Tar Heel State will have to endure after proposed budget cuts.
And what would be the results if those cuts to the state's education, police, firefighter and health services funds actually go through?
Well, North Carolina would wind up just as bad as South Carolina! And they can't let that happen, can they?

According to TogetherNC, the results of proposed state budget cuts would include layoffs of teachers, police and firefighters as well as reductions in community health services, amongst other negative effects.
After a $2 billion drop in revenue since 2008, South Carolina is now projected to be $830 million short for the next fiscal year, resulting in the State Assembly scrambling to find additional programs to cut from funding. Layoffs of teachers, police and firefighters were already frequent in this period, too.
Included in South Carolina state government's proposed responses are additional teacher layoffs, mandatory furloughs of state employees and cuts to Medicaid.
If TogetherNC is successful in its goal of protecting the state budget, maybe Palmetto State residents could just move across the state line. At least North Carolina will be doing its job, and could give us some jobs, too.
