RALEIGH, N.C. โ Millions of dollars in disaster relief funds are stalled in the North Carolina General Assembly as Republican leaders squabble over the details of a proposal to help victims of Hurricane Helene.
The state House of Representatives on Tuesday voted unanimously to reject a $700 million package passed by the state Senate Monday, which also wouldโve directed nearly $2 billion more in federal funds toward various projects.
