So, the Bill, as amended, was read the second time and ordered to third reading.
I had to leave before the vote on the Rural Development Act (H. 4706) due to a family commitment. I support the Bill, and would have voted for
However, I am concerned about the push to drive down manufacturing property tax assessment for new industry, while existing manufacturers who have long been good citizens continue to pay at a 10.5% assessment rate.
I also believe that core industries should contribute at some point to the Rural Infrastructure Fund - perhaps 3-5 years out, if not from the beginning.
I believe we must focus more of our economic development effort on business that is already here, fostering their growth and investment. North Carolina now spends about 50% of its economic development money within the state.
We need to get this Bill through the House this week. Perhaps the Senate, or the House at a later date, will consider and include my suggestions.
Rep. JOSEPH T. McELVEEN, JR.
I vote against this Bill today because it is unfair and leaves Union out of the least developed category when the statistics show they should be in this category. Out of all the counties in the least developed tier, 9 have lower unemployment rates than Union. Union County is at around 10.0% unemployment. Before this Bill was introduced, I was promised by the Governor's Office that Union County would be placed in the least developed category. This promise was not kept.
Union County is basically a rural county with over 50% of its industry in textiles. Recently, 2 textiles industries closed leaving many people out of work. We are here to do what is fair and just. Today this was not done. I am for economic development, however I am for what is fair and just. By not keeping a promise and leaving out a county from the least developed category when 9 other counties in that category have lower unemployment rates is unfair. Union is currently 10th in the State in unemployment. What's fair is fair, this Bill is not fair to Union County and that's why I vote against it.
Rep. RONALD N. FLEMING
I was out of the Chamber when the vote on H. 4706 was taken. Had I been in the Chamber, I would have voted in favor of the Rural Development Act.
