NC's $1.7B stadium financing stalls as House balks at public funding

North Carolina Senate leaders push a government-backed framework to finance a $1.7 billion Raleigh MLB stadium, including $500 million in state funds and the rest from local revenue, sports betting taxes, income tax withholdings from performers, and a new sports-and-entertainment district; House Republicans oppose public funding, leaving the plan out of the state budget and complicating Raleigh’s MLB expansion bid as lawmakers haggle over timing and financing.

Northern EU states push for bigger cuts to EU budget than Cyprus plan

Wealthier northern EU countries are demanding much larger cuts to the €2 trillion multiannual EU budget for 2028–2034 than Cyprus's 2% proposal, sparking a split with southern/eastern members who back maintaining or increasing spending on agriculture and regional subsidies. With a December budget deal and Ireland taking the presidency, negotiators are racing to find a landing zone ahead of a summit while Cyprus shields farmers’ subsidies and shields funds for competitiveness and regional programs.

"Congress Unveils Bipartisan Funding Bills to Avert Shutdown"

Congressional leaders have unveiled a 1,050-page bill to fund parts of the federal government for fiscal year 2024, with Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer both claiming victories. The legislation includes cuts to agencies, prevents the Department of Justice from targeting parents at school board meetings, and separates appropriations bills into separate packages. The bill also includes funding for programs such as WIC and infrastructure investments, as well as additional support for U.S. military veterans. However, the battle over government funding is far from over, with Congress having until March 22 to fund the remaining portions of the government.

"US Congressional Leaders Reach Short-Term Deal to Avert Government Shutdown"

Top US lawmakers have reached a tentative bipartisan deal to extend funding bills and avert a partial government shutdown ahead of the Friday deadline. The deal extends four funding bills to March 8 and the rest of the budget to March 22. The House is expected to vote on the stopgap measure as early as Thursday, and the congressional leaders face the challenge of convincing rank and file lawmakers to support the deal. If a deal is not reached, roughly 20% of government departments will temporarily close, including agencies overseeing agriculture, transportation, and veterans affairs.
