FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

I am honored and humbled to be part of this organization.  We are the largest and best organized auxiliary in the state party with over 4,000 members in 70 counties.  We have been going strong since 1961.  We have a rich history of service yet we are focused on the future. 

 

In November, more women than men voted in every county.  We need all of those Democratic women to come together.   Some pockets of our state do not have organized Democratic Women groups.  We need you!   To be truly effective, we must have statewide, west-to-east participation that is vibrant and consistent from year-to-year, not just during presidential election cycles. 

 

By continually expanding our reach and bringing in all Democratic women from across the state, we have a wonderful opportunity to expand our influence on each other - as a support network to develop ourselves as effective leaders and citizens – and on elected officials - to impress upon them our agenda and to remind them that they can count on us IF we can count on them.

 

Thank you for all that you do for women, for all, and for the future.

  

Gratefully, 

Joan

Sometimes, the reasons we think about leaning back are actually the reasons we should lean in.

Highlights of Gov. McCrory's Budget

 

-1,800 additional classroom teachers and $2.7 million to craft a new branding strategy to lure companies to the state. Another 5,000 at risk 4-year-olds would be able to get into pre-kindergarten programs, at a cost of $9 million a year.

-State agencies will see their budgets cut 1 percent to 3 percent from the current year’s $20.2 billion spending plan, leading to some jobs cuts and the elimination of longtime state interest.

-His two-year budget, which calls for spending $20.6 billion per year, proposes:
• Giving state retirees a 1 percent cost of living adjustment for pensions
• Adding money to provide Saturday service at 30 Division of Motor Vehicles offices to improve service
• Eliminate the estate tax at a cost of $109 million over two years
• Close four historic sites across the state and eliminate 12 jobs
• Provide $10 million to compensate victims of the state’s defunct sterilization program, a small portion of what advocates say is needed
• Allocates $300 million to renovate and repair dilapidated state buildings
• Close six state prisons, including five in eastern North Carolina, citing a decline in the state’s prison population.
 
Putting aside another $600 million in reserves, McCrory said his plan is fiscally responsible and doesn’t use one-time money to balance the budget
