Rep. Jeter believes that previous General Assemblies put the state in a precarious financial position by running up large tabs to the federal government, borrowing $2.8 billion to pay unemployment benefits and sky-rocketing Medicare debts. Unfortunately, the victims in these debt choices have been the hard-working teachers in this state. Rep. Jeter will continue to work to address the state's past due credit card bills in an effort to direct revenue toward better teacher compensation bringing NC more in line with national averages. He further plans to work to continue the transition from traditional textbooks and utilize technology that will allow for greater access at reduced costs.
