People generally want to sup port the budget.” Bill Brooks of the conservative Family Policy Council said legislative leaders are yielding to pressure from Gov. Mike Easley, who wants proceeds from a lottery to support his education initiatives. “They are taking a bill that does not have the votes to pass in the House and maybe not the Senate, and because the governor wants it, the legislative leaders are going to kowtow to him,” Brooks said. The advisory referendum would not bind lawmakers to institute a lottery. Instead, they would have to hold their own vote if North Carolina voters decid ed they wanted it.
