North Carolina legislators are releasing copies of the two-year state budget hashed out after weeks of negotiations.
The public and rank-and-file members of the General Assembly will get a good look Monday at the details of the month-late budget bill.
One of the key details is how many hundreds of state positions would be eliminated if lawmakers pass the budget this week as expected and Gov. Beverly Perdue signs it into law. Perdue had said for weeks she wouldn't accept a budget that damaged public schools.
Earlier House and Senate proposals sought to save more than $300 million annually by eliminating funding for 6,000 teacher positions. That idea was replaced with a deal giving schools flexibility to use textbook or other money to hire as many teachers as possible.
