Not much can be said for the fourth day of my Work Experience program! Ivan and I were tasked with visiting the State Library downtown, as we were both with lobbyists this past week. We visited the State library in order to research our upcoming visit at the North Carolina Department of Transportation on Monday, and we learned quite a few things. For example, the NCDOT was originally called the State Highway Commission when it was founded in 1915. Also, the budget is quite large: $4.7 billion each year! 48.5% of the budget is allocated to maintenance and construction. After our time at the library, Ivan and I grabbed a bite to eat. It was nice to catch up with him, as we had been in the same building all week yet we hadn’t really seen one another!
