Highway Trust Fund Case

On February 6, 2002, the governor issued "Executive Order No. 19" by which $80 million was diverted from the highway trust fund. Tax revenue diverted had been collected pursuant to tax laws which directed it to be used exclusively for 31 specific highways, 7 specific urban loops, city street and state and state road projects designated in the "1989 Highway Trust Fund Act." Trust money was used to cover excess expenditures to balance the state budget. Goldston, et al. v. State, et al., Wake County No. 02 CVS 15252. Judge Joseph R John, Sr. entered judgment against us on January 29, 2004. We filed a Notice of Appeal on February 4, 2004. This case is on appeal in the North Carolina Court of Appeals. (Goldston, et al. v. State, et al., COA 04-593).
