Today's papers and blogs: budgets, immigrants, milk, women and more
We've got a budget blog post here, a a budget news story post there (Republicans have some legit complaints about the process) and online budget bill info for good measure.
An anti-illegal immigration rally turned into more of a gathering, and those who attended will likely be disappointed with the state of immigration-related bills at the General Assembly.
Female legislators made their voices heard Wednesday, while Gov. Mike Easley sounded off for Obama.
Oh, and the raw milk bill cleared the Ag committee Wednesday and is headed to the health committee today.
And that's just the stuff I and my colleague Emily Stephenson (who came to Raleigh to help me out for a couple days) could get to Wednesday.
One bit via the AP McClatchy Newspapers: Gov. Easley's trip to Italy cost $170,000. I hope he at least got one of those little Leaning Tower of Pisa statues for that deal, or, you know, swiped some little shampoos from the hotel.

That story on Easley's Italy trip was actually from N&O reporter Ben Niolet...

Oops, you're right. Credit should be the McClatchy wire. Fixed.
