North Carolina Republican lawmakers say that before the pandemic, nobody thought the state's Emergency Management Act would be used by a governor to wield unilateral power for an entire year. They introduced a bill requiring the Governor to get concurrence from the nine other members of the Council of State in order to maintain a statewide declaration of emergency longer than thirty days. 'Statewide' is defined as covering 67 of the state's 100 counties.

Tolls and taxes (03-11-2026--Hour3)

This episode is presented by Create A Video – As opposition builds against the I-77 expansion project, one idea that we apparently missed out on: a free mile of tunnel. The offer was made by The Boring Company in an open contest soliciting proposals. The Boring Company is owned by Elon Musk... whose role in the early Trump administration prompted the Democrats on Charlotte City Council to ban any purchases of Teslas. So... we probably never had a chance at winning.
