Passage of North Carolina's state budget struck a road block last week in a fight among legislative Republicans over whether the plan should permit more gambling.
Saine didn’t respond immediately Monday to a text seeking comment. House Majority Leader John Bell, a Wayne County Republican, said later Monday he was waiting for an update on this week’s voting schedule. Through a spokesperson, Berger’s office said it had no information to offer on a path forward.directing the state to offer Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of low-income adults required the budget’s passage before expansion could be carried out.
Separate open letters released Monday — one backed by all 20 Democrats in the 50-seat Senate and another by 40 of the 48 House Democrats — blasted the pairing efforts while citizens and schools have waited 2 1/2 months for a state budget to pass. North Carolina already has three casinos operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Catawba Indian Nation.
While legislators have said the other three could be built in Anson, Nash and Rockingham counties, the language allows other options. Berger lives in Rockingham County and has been one of the most strongest casino supporters, especially given that a new casino opened recently in nearby Danville, Virginia.
