As a House conferee leader, Rep. Tine will meet with Senate conferees to negotiate and advocate for provisions included in the House budget that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support on May 22, 2015.

“It is the House’s goal to remain inclusive and transparent throughout budget negotiations,” stated Speaker Moore last week. “There are two very different plans on the table right now, and attention to detail is crucial. I am confident that Paul will be a strong leader throughout this essential process, and offer an unique, independent voice to discussions.”

“I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute and advocate for key issues that are important to the people of Eastern North Carolina,” Rep. Tine remarked. “Ensuring that our region continues to provide strong economic and academic opportunities and support for coastal industries will remain my top priorities.”
