Senator Stan the Budget Man
Sen. Stan Bingham was one of four Republicans named to the House-Senate budget conference committee Monday night. That committee is the one that writes the final draft of the budget that eventually gets sent to the governor.
With Democrats in charge and sharply partisan budget votes in recent years, it has been rare for Republicans to find themselves on the conference group.
This will be Bingham’s first time in the six years he’s been in the General Assembly.
“I’ll finally have a say so,” Bingham said Monday night after the announcement. He added, “I feel good about this budget.”
Bingham represents Davidson County and the High Point area of Guilford County.
