U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan will continue her “Fighting for our Future” budget listening tour on Monday in Greensboro. With Washington drowning in red ink, Senator Hagan will use her listening tour to hear directly from North Carolinians about commonsense solutions to reduce our deficit and put the nation's fiscal house in order. By 2020, interest on the national debt could rise to nearly $1 trillion, jeopardizing investments in key priorities, including our seniors, our students and our military and their families.
Hagan kicked off her “Fighting for our Future” tour last week in Raleigh. After Greensboro, she will convene two more listening sessions across the state with community leaders to hear their ideas for achieving a fiscal balance that reflects North Carolina values and creates jobs. Hagan will take the ideas she gathers on the listening tour back to Washington to ensure North Carolinians have a seat at the table as Congress works to tackle our mounting deficit and debt.
Hagan will hear from the following community members at the roundtable-style listening session:
• Dr. Andrew Brod, Economist and Professor, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
• Sam Funchess, President & CEO, Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship
• Kim Berry, Director, Piedmont Triad Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging
• Shirley Frye, Community leader
• Mac Sims, President, East Market Street Development Corp.
• Chris Laney, President, Zenergy Technologies
