Butterfield | B001251 | web.archive.org | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today released the following statement regarding Governor Pat McCrory’s refusal to publicly oppose all sequestration cuts, not just military cuts, when asked during yesterday’s briefing with the North Carolina Congressional Delegation: “I am deeply disappointed that Governor Pat McCrory refused to publicly voice his opposition to all sequestration cuts including cuts to social safety net programs. “The governor seemingly wants it both ways--by supporting across-the-board cuts to important federal programs, but opposing cuts to the defense budget. “While I share Governor McCrory’s position that we must prevent harmful cuts to the military budget, he forgets that sequestration’s crippling effect is not exclusive to our military. These cuts are also devastating for low-income and poor North Carolina families. It harms social safety net programs like Head Start, Meals on Wheels, and Housing Choice Vouchers, which millions of North Carolinians depend on. “I urge the governor to be a full participant in the debate to suspend sequestration’s damaging effects and support a full repeal of the law.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
