News : : : ; , '. v State legislators try to end marathon budget session By BEN PERKOVSKI Tar Heel Staff Writer The N.C. General Assembly approved a S12.6 billion, two-year state budget last Thurs day but still had to settle hundreds of pending bills including a proposed sales tax increase and hazardous waste disposal before they could adjourn at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. A joint conference committee met Tuesday to work out a compromise over the House and Senate's differing versions of a one-half cent sales tax increase. Under the Senate version, the tax would have been statewide, and could have generated $113.1 million this year, with T. h the money earmarked for public school con struction, and water and sewer projects. But the House bill would have let each county de cide whether to levy the tax, and local officials could spend the money as they wish. Under the compromise, counties would be asked to spend 40 percent of the additional tax money for the first five years on schools. That amount would decrease to 30 percent for the following five years. Cities would be asked to spend a similar amount on water and sewer projects. Hazardous waste disposal is another matter that lawmakers and Gov. James B. Hunt Jr.'s administration hope to settle this session. v Tr A I AkiriLAADIf rC rOKIOCTCKJTI V UlrtU MIAIITV CHINESE FOOD IN DOWNTOWN CHAPEL HILL FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. N. -ml Th?
