Henderson County teachers say they're fearful that state budget cuts will set back public education in North Carolina. A  Republican representative who represents the area voted no because the budget contained provisions that were "worse than I ever imagined." Both reactions were part of the fallout from the newly adopted 2013-14 state budget that has been panned across the state by teachers and praised by Republican leaders as a long-needed step toward reform.
