The North Carolina General Fund Revenue Report and Economic Outlook for April 2013 developed by the Fiscal Research Division of the General Assembly can be seen here. This report is an update provided by the General Assembly’s Fiscal Research Division that summarizes revenue for the current fiscal year and outlines the risks to revenue receipts for the current year.
The following is an excerpt from the report:
• General Fund revenue through three quarters of the fiscal year is $110 million above a $14.3 billion revenue target.
• The State’s economy has steadily been gaining strength. We anticipate the pace of economic growth to stay on a steady, upward trend.
• Federal sequestration policies may put the pace of growth at risk as the effects begin to take hold this summer.
• Unlike the last several years, an “April surprise” is more likely especially given the added volatility from the new $50k business exemption and taxpayers’ reactions to federal tax changes.

On Wednesday, March 20, Governor Pat McCrory released his proposed 2013-15 State Budget (UNC System begins on page 43). This is the first step in the state budget process. Throughout the spring, the Senate and House of Representatives will develop and negotiate budget proposals until an agreement is reached and a final budget recommendation is sent to the Governor for his signature prior to July 1, 2013.

UNC President Tom Ross yesterday issued the following statement on Governor Pat McCrory’s proposed 2013-14 state budget:
The University appreciates the many fiscal challenges facing the state, including a stubbornly high unemployment rate. While parts of our economy appear to be rebounding, these are still difficult times for many North Carolinians, especially its families and students. And yet, the importance of education to our future remains clear and ever present.
I am very concerned by the magnitude of the new cuts proposed for our campuses, particularly in light of the more than $400 million in permanent budget reductions we absorbed two years ago. I worry about the impact additional reductions will have on our ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities to our residents and to assist in North Carolina’s economic recovery.
The University of North Carolina remains committed to operating more efficiently, while continuing to do our part to ensure North Carolina’s economic competitiveness and high quality of life. We recognize that we must do more with less and remain accountable to the taxpayers and state policymakers.
