RALEIGH, North Carolina, Aug. 19 -- Gov. Roy Cooper, D-North Carolina, issued the following news release:
Many North Carolina teachers head back to school this week to prepare for the first day of class. Unfortunately, these hardworking teachers have not received a state pay raise this year because Republican stalling is holding up budget negotiations. Governor Cooper's budget compromise proposal would offer teachers a raise more than twice as big as the Republican budget.
