Laura Leslie, WRAL — State senators on Wednesday approved a measure to cut personal and corporate income taxes and other business taxes by more than $2 billion over the next two years. Eight Democrats joined Republicans in the 36-14 vote. “We have consistently collected more revenue from taxpayers than we need to operate a sound state government,” said bill sponsor Sen. Paul Newton, R-Cabarrus. “This bill recognizes that and will allow taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money while keeping North Carolina on solid financial ground.”
