Today@NCCapitol (March 1): Keeping an eye on budget rollout
Gov. Roy Cooper will roll out his state budget proposal Wednesday. Meanwhile, the House Health Committee will vet a bill pitting optometrists against ophthalmologists.
Posted — UpdatedIt's unclear what sort of reception Cooper's administration will get on Thursday when they present the spending plan to lawmakers. Members of the Senate and House budget subcommittees have been sifting through budget materials for the past two weeks during morning meetings.
Among the meetings we're keeping an eye on Wednesday is a showdown in the House Health Committee between optometrists and ophthalmologists. Optometrists want the right to perform certain types of surgeries now restricted to their colleagues, who hold medical degrees.
