OK, it may be a slight overstatement to say that it's roiling the state, but at least 1,029 people have signed a change.org petition to Governor McCrory and the state legislature to restore funding, and while at least one of those people lives in Wisconsin, I'm sure that a few of them do actually live in North Carolina. For example, I'll bet this person has signed:
That's 10-year-old Maya Osaka, and not only is James K. Polk her favorite President, she also volunteers at the historical site. She was upset enough about it that she wrote a letter to the Governor herself, asking that the site funding be preserved, saying "We should preserve it because Polk was the 11th president, and he was considered the best one-term president in American history — I think it would be a terrible thing to say goodbye to that." Well said, Miss Osaka! And may I say you have fine taste in Presidents?
