Budget cuts could impact Wildlife Resources Commission

From Mountain Times:

The agency responsible for stocking hatchery-supported public trout waters in North Carolina’s mountains faces a significant funding cut in the Senate’s proposed budget.
The N.C. Senate budget bill — which passed last week and is now under consideration by the House of Representatives — proposes $9.5 million in state appropriations to fund the Wildlife Resources Commission, almost half of the state support it received this year.
