Raleigh Roundup:Budget Cuts
By Mildred Hu*Mm
RALEIGH—How to cut S2OO
- out of the base budget?
That, along with many less
compelling one, is the question.
Then there is the matter of
finding funds to bail out the
Department of Transportation,
which, every day, issues a new
pessimistic statement about
projects which will be
necessarily cancelled or, at
best, delayed if more money is
not found.
AH of these proposed projects,
of course, concern some group
of citizens. And, whaf about
Governor James B. Hunt’s $24
million Micro Electronic
research project? What to do
about public education,
pet? Reducing class
load, as proposed in the budget,
would add at least 800 to the
state payroll and $39 million to
the budget... How about saving
the dropouts? Will taxpayers
go for a S6OO million bond issue

Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, February 5, 1981
for school construction? How
about teachers; and other state
employees’; salary raise? Can
the state afford the
mushrooming medicaid costs?
What to do?
Ibis is just a brief summary
of some of the problems facing
the 170 members of the 1981
General Assembly. The
responsibility weighs heavily on
these men and women.
The House of Representatives
is up to full compliment this
week with the return to his
place on the floor of Rep. Ron
Taylor of Bladen, who missed
the oath-taking ceremonies
January 14 due to surgery. He
was administered the oath
Monday evening by Speaker
Liston Ramsey, who explained
that he was authorized to do the
honors. Immediately Taylor
was made chairman of the in
fluencial Committee on
Utilities. Also that same
evening, the speaker introduced
to the members Rep. George
Brannon of Johnston County
who has been named to fill the
vacancy created by the death of
Rep. Jack Gardner only a few
hours after he was ad
ministered the oath. Commit
tees have all been named and
assigned meeting rooms and
schedules. They are now
meeting regularly and few
bills are already being reported
out for action by the full
membership.
However, some of the fresh
men are still a bit confused with
the workings of the deliberative
body as well as the maze of
corridors and the various
committee rooms. It is no
wonder. It happened as the
Committee on Transportation
was hearing some reports from
Secretary Tom Bradshaw in one
of the large committee rooms
with doors opening at each end.
One of the new members,
running a bit late, rushed into
the room and looked around.
“Is this Wildlife, he asxed and
was told that it was the Com
mittee on Transportation. He
withdrew and was gone for
sometime when the opposite
door opened and the same
legislator came into the com
mittee room. He looked around
and failed to recognize that he
had seen that group of
colleagues before”.
“Is this Wildlife?” he asked
again informed that he was in
the room where the Tran
sportation committee was in
session.
The gentlemean looked
puzzled and went on his
way...searching for Wildlife.
And then later in the day
during the regular session of the
House, Rep. Marvin D.
Mussel white, Jr., serving his
first term as representative
from Wake, arose on a point of
personal privilege.
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to
speak on a point of personal
pleasure,” he began. The
speaker recognized the Gen
tleman from Wake who
proceeded to thank Secretary of
State Thad Eure for his
legislative school for freshmen
legislators which has, bien.
underway daily since the
session opened.
SECTION R
The gentleman probably
earned a passing grade.
—O—
Rep. Tom Hunter of Rich
mond informed his colleagues
Monday evening that he had
become a grandfather over the
weekend. "All of my three
girls turned out to be boys but
middle one and his his lovely
wife have provided me and my
wife a beautiful grand
daughter,” he announced after
gaining recognition from the
chair. “It is good to have some
sugar and spice and everything
nice in the family after so much
snaps and snails and puppy dog
tails. I am sure Elizabeth
Dockery Hunter of Winston-
Salem will be Miss America of
1999. I can assure you that
mother and daughter are doing
well but the prognosis for
grandfather and father is not
good, he concluded. Speaker
Ramsey then named the infant
an honorary page which has
long been the practice and these
appointments are entered in the
House Journal.
—o—
It is beginning to look like
Rep. Marie Colton of Buncombe
is bucking for the title of House
Poet Laureate formerly held by
Sen. Henry Frye, who served
several terms in the House
before seeking and winning a
seat in the upper chamber.
Thursday afternoon, on a point
of personal privilege, the Lady
from Buncombe read a poem
she had written” with apologies
to Henry Frye” cleverly
working in the names of a
number of the members in the
House of Representatives and
was roundly applauded for her
efforts.
This is not a gossip column
and we are not the first to
report it, but Rep. Mary N.
Pegg of Forsyth, on of the
Legislature’s staunchest pro
family advocates, is separating
from her husband of 22 years.
The Lady from Forsyth told the
local newspaper she and Jabez
Gilbert Pegg had filed a
separation agreement. The two
were married June 28, 1958, and
are the parents of three
