We have a plan to match state and local American Rescue Plan funds to rebuild these systems in a smart, regional way so families can have clean water and these small communities can attract more economic growth. And that economic growth depends on a well-trained workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

There are other immediate needs we must address. More than a hundred communities in our state have aging water systems they can’t afford to fix. Many of them are getting some money directly from the federal government through the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Our goal is that by 2025, North Carolina will be a national leader, ranking in the top 5 states for high-speed internet adoption. This must be a priority as we cannot lose this chance to close the digital divide. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It’s a truly comprehensive, well-planned approach that will aggressively close the gaps. These investments will ensure that every home with a school-aged child will have access to high-speed internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

More than a million households in NC lack affordable, reliable access to the internet. Our recommended budget invests $1.2 billion to help close the digital divide by building infrastructure, making connection affordable and ensuring people can get a device & learn to use it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our most ambitious recommendation is to connect everyone in this state together, and with the world, with high-speed internet. Having access to high-speed internet is more important than ever to learn, to get a job, to see a doctor, to start a business and to stay connected. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This budget recommends funding to hire literacy coaches and strengthen teacher training that will also help many of them teach reading in more effective ways, as recommended in recent legislation. We also propose scholarship support to teachers to help keep them in our schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This includes expanding NC Pre-K and investing in home-based early childhood literacy interventions. And an important part of having better educated kids is recruiting and retaining qualified and quality educators. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Every child in North Carolina deserves a sound, basic education. More than that, they have a constitutional right to it. As the court affirmed in the Leandro case, we must do more to make this a reality for children regardless of race, background or zip code. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This budget includes another round of Extra Credit grants, a program started by Republican leaders in the legislature. This will help a lot of parents with direct grants of up to five hundred dollars. And it recommends funds to strengthen our education system. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This pandemic upended everyone’s lives. But we must leverage these funds to support those who have been hardest hit, and this budget recommends funding for the most basic needs, such as affordable housing and food security. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

These investments must be smart, equitable and effective. We are prioritizing assisting families most impacted by the pandemic, upgrading our infrastructure, preparing our workforce and promoting business development and innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The American Rescue Plan is injecting billions in federal funds to North Carolina, including $5.7 billion for investment by state government. It’s time to seize this opportunity as we emerge from this crisis and build back stronger. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Simply put, we can revolutionize North Carolina. We can train workers, educate students, connect communities and improve health. We’re building a bridge from response to recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This pandemic brought us a once-in-a-generation challenge. And these funds from the American Rescue Plan have brought us a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Let’s use them to make transformational change for our state. — PolitiTweet.org
