Inside Today Governor Bev Perdue announced Friday that she was vetoing the latest version of the 9-A state budget adopted by the General Assembly r/PFBTZêYPO because she believes too little is being spent on public education. 8IJUFWJMMFNPME “I have traveled around the state visiting with schools ... and people across this state understand the link between education and economic development,” Perdue said in a news conference held Friday. “This budget falls short. So later today I will veto this budget. Legislators have chosen for decades in this state to invest in our children, and this legislature, for the second year in a row, has chosen not to do that,” Perdue said. Rep.

By CLARA CARTRETTE News Editor
“Canopy Meg” was a big hit at the N.C. Museum of Forest- ry’s “Meet Me at the Museum” program last Monday. The internationally known scientist whose real name is Dr. Meg Lowman spoke on “Life in the Treetops,” ex- plaining her global work and experiences while studying treetops in forests around the world. She was introduced by Forestry Museum Director Harry Warren who described her as the “real deal, our lady who spends her life in the treetops.” Warren noted that Lowman is director the Meeting at the Museum Nature Research Center, the Dr. Meg Lowman, third from left, is shown with childhood friend Mary Louise Ban- new addition to the N.C.
