Today, NC Policy Watch republished Rob Schofield’s Weekly Briefing “Several important accomplishments.” Originally written at the conclusion of the 2009 legislative session, this column is worth re-reading today as you reflect of this past year and think hopefully about the future.

Schofield’s commentary is a good reminder that while our state was faced with many adversities, our legislative leaders successfully raised nearly a billion dollars in revenue essential to preserving our pubic health and public education systems and passed numerous bills benefiting both workers and consumers.
