This episode is presented by Create A Video – US Senator Thom Tillis announced his opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill, and then announced his retirement in 2026. The issue Tillis cited for opposition was the reduction in Medicaid spending after states (like North Carolina) expanded the program. And this cut is precisely why I warned the NC Legislature against expansion for 15 years. Plus, Doug Heye joins me to discuss the fallout of the Tillis announcement.

In this episode, we tackle the contentious issues surrounding employment rights within state agencies, focusing on the potential implications of House Bill 549. This bill would remove State Human Resources Act protections from State Auditor's Office employees. It is a blatant attempt to politicize the workforce in an agency where employees must be protected. We dig deeper into why fighting for SHRA protections for all state employees is essential.

This week, a bill filed in the House targets "DEI Initiatives" in state government without clarifying what that means. State Treasurer Brad Briner, State Auditor Dave Boliek, and Commissioner of Labor Luke Farley have made similar statements. In this week's edition of the SEANC View Podcast, we discuss how these statements might affect state workers. We talk about the State Health Plan Board of Trustees meeting planned for next week, at which the board will consider premium increases for members and their families. We also discuss state revenue projections and DOGE efforts at the legislature.

  After having successfully gerrymandered their way to complete control of the state legislature over the last 15 years, you'd think North Carolina Republican lawmakers would be sure enough of themselves to at least occasionally countenance other voices. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. The latest ridiculous example: a bill introduced last week that would effectively prevent […]

This episode is presented by Create A Video – A small crowd of Leftist activists repeatedly disrupted the NC Senate vote on a disaster relief bill yesterday, and got thrown out of the chamber. It's a replay of the old "Moral Monday" disruptions that Democrats encouraged a decade ago to stall Republican-led priorities.

For the final installment of our Down The Ballot series, we're turning to the races for state legislature.The district lines drawn by GOP lawmakers will virtually ensure that Republicans keep at least a majority in the House and Senate. But if Democrat Josh Stein wins the governor's race, the outcome of the race for a legislative supermajority will determine the policy direction of the state for the next two years. If Democrats can flip seats in either or both chambers, a veto from Stein could stop GOP legislation.One of the N.C. House races that will determine that power dynamic is in the Wilson area, where Republican Rep. Ken Fontenot is defending a seat he flipped from Democrats two years ago. WUNC spoke with Fontenot and his Democratic opponent, Dante Pittman, about the key issues in the race and why the district is so competitive.

North Carolina lawmakers passed dozens of bills in the past few days. They also had some high-profile failures. GOP leaders couldn’t muster enough votes for four of five constitutional amendments they wanted to put on the ballot this November. And they couldn’t come to a budget deal. WRAL State Government Reporter Will Doran breaks down the past legislative session — and what happens next.

This episode is presented by Carolina Readiness Supply – North Carolina lawmakers are racing to pass all sorts of bills before an expected lengthy recess... although it does NOT appear a budget deal will be one of those measures.

Thanks to a budget provision last year, state lawmakers can now deny the public access to their emails, documents and other records that most other branches of state government are required to release. That move toward secrecy is just one of many transparency concerns at the legislature. A few weeks ago, Democrats in the legislature filed a proposed constitutional amendment to guarantee public access to government records. One of the amendment's sponsors, Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, joins WUNC's Colin Campbell to discuss the proposal along with a wide range of issues that make it difficult for the public to keep track of legislative action.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a nurse who's impacted her state like our guest today has done in North Carolina. Gale Adcock is serving her term in the NC Senate after eight years in the NC House and seven years on her local town council. Those 16 years in office have given her a seat at the table and she's used it to provide nurses across the state with an advocate to speak on their behalf. Today we're sharing our conversation with her from the NCANA Meeting, where she was also surprised with two well-deserved honors.      Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: Senator Adcock finds out she has been awarded the Legislator of the Year Award by the NCANA and named an honorary member of the NCANA. Her four-decade background in nursing and how she got into politics. Why she feels nurses have the makeup and the background to be great leaders and elected officials. How to properly communicate with your local representative in a way they'll pay attention and take notice. The status of the SAVE Act and why it hasn't passed yet. How can CRNAs become more comfortable in the advocacy arena. What can you do to affect other elections that would be helpful to you as a CRNA?   About our guest: https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/s/436   Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/   Get the CE Certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf   Help us grow by leaving a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-mask-innovation-opportunities-for-crnas/id1440309246

North Carolina Republican lawmakers are looking to revamp the state Board of Elections - making it an 8-member body with equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. The current system gives the Governor appointment power over all local and state boards - with majorities controlled by his party.  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

North Carolina's legislature passed more than 100 different bills this week as it rushed to reach a “crossover” deadline. The agenda included several controversial pieces of conservative social legislation: A ban on abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy, a ban on gender transition surgery for people under 18, and a repeal of the state's concealed-carry gun permit requirements. To sort through the hectic action, WUNC's Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell spoke with Hannah Schoenbaum, political reporter for The Associated Press, and Dawn Vaughan, Capitol bureau chief for The News & Observer. The trio of journalists also point out noteworthy bills that escaped attention on crossover week.

Why are there plenty of reasons to keep an eye on where things are going with NIL in high schools? Does this conclusion have anything to do with NIL or another ulterior motive? Will the NCHSA have any input on this matter? This bill seems to be more of a political move than an NIL move…

What does this bill strip away, that was presented to the NC Legislature regarding high school sports?  Is there more to this decision that just NIL for high schoolers? What seed was planted that started this snowball in the direction it’s going? Adam asked someone who’s closer to the topic and they mentioned an interesting stat about this topic. On a different topic, where are we with PNC Arena and their lease/contract?

CMS continues its search for a Superintendent as Gaston County's just begins. Mecklenburg County's air quality is graded “F.” The North Carolina legislature advances a bill barring trans athletes. And drag shows where minors can see them may become illegal in the state. Those stories and more on the Local News Roundup.

Republican lawmakers filed half a dozen bills last week dealing with transgender youth. Two would ban transgender girls from playing on girl sports teams, basing eligibility on what a student’s birth certificate says. Others limit hormone therapy and medical procedures. All of them draw North Carolina further into a culture war raging across the country.

(Segment 1, 1/7/2023 Show) Happy New Year 2023, Everybody! By now, the pomp and circumstance of the new year has most likely settled down, and hopefully you were able to participate in some sort of New Year's Eve & Day traditions, whether big or small. One small North Carolina town usually does just that, but with a celebration different than most. Enter the "Possum Drop" - a rallying town new-year celebration where a possum is safely placed inside a box and, much like the New York City crystal ball, descends to officially ring in the new year. But that is changing! The NC Legislature has recently adopted new rules and language which closes loopholes allowing celebrations like this one to take place. Listen in to this segment of The Carolina Outdoors as the Outdoor Guys chat about the history and current status of the event! Learn more about this unique tradition which is coming to an end.

U.S. Supreme Court justices heard arguments Wednesday in Moore v. Harper, a closely watched case out of North Carolina focused in part on who has the authority to determine how elections are conducted. WRAL State Government Reporter Travis Fain provides a breakdown of the arguments. And WRAL Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie, who was in the chamber, gives us an on-the-ground glimpse of the scene in Washington.

The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a case that opponents say will destroy democracy. The case is called "Moore v Harper" and it rests on an argument that state legislatures have authority to control federal election rules, as outlined in the US Constitution. From Mitch Kokai at the Carolina Journal: Here's the question state lawmakers presented to the nation's highest court: “Whether a State's judicial branch may nullify the regulations governing the ‘Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives … prescribed … by the Legislature thereof,' and replace them with regulations of the state courts' own devising, based on vague state constitutional provisions purportedly vesting the state judiciary with power to prescribe whatever rules it deems appropriate to ensure a ‘fair' or ‘free' election.” ... A three-judge trial court panel agreed that lawmakers had drawn a map clearly favoring Republicans. But the bipartisan panel also ruled unanimously that nothing within the state's constitution or legal history blocked legislators from using partisanship in the map-drawing process. The state Supreme Court disagreed. With a 4-3 party-line vote, the court's Democratic majority threw out the map. Justices gave lawmakers suggestions, but no firm rules, for how to avoid excessive partisanship with a revised map. The high court returned the case to the trial court. The three-judge trial panel then tossed out the legislature's revised map. Judges substituted their own map for the 2022 election cycle. The state Supreme Court did nothing to block that decision. ... Lawmakers take direct aim at the state Supreme Court's Democratic justices, who called on trial court judges to oversee the mapmaking process. “Rather than setting forth a determinate legal standard, the state supreme court remanded to the trial court to conduct the quintessentially political task of applying ‘some combination' of various partisanship metrics, … yet the supreme court refused to specify which of these ‘set of metrics' should actually be used to ‘demonstrate or disprove the existence of an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander,'” lawmakers argued. Legislative leaders note that the N.C. Supreme Court based its ruling against partisan gerrymandering on state constitutional provisions that say nothing about election maps.    Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
