Thursday marked final passage in the NC House for Medicaid expansion, leaving only Governor Roy Cooper's signature, and an approved State budget from improving access and affordability of healthcare to 600,000 North Carolinians. The process to get to this point was a long one, filled with enough gridlock and partisan politics to last a lifetime. How could this process better reflected the needs of rural North Carolinians?On this week's Mind Your Business, we discuss the art of consensus building, and how taking conversation to decision-makers could give a fighting chance to advancing other key community issues, like childcare access, affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and other similar topics.We also give a listen to a timely excerpt from our sister podcast, Reaching Your Peak, where Christopher Chung of EDPNC talks about the value of building consensus, and what to expect in terms of economic development priorities in rural North Carolina in the years to come.Mind your Business is produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

A Republican-backed piece of legislation called the Parents' Bill of Rights has passed the North Carolina Senate and is on its way to the House.

Those opposed to the bill, including many LGBTQ advocates, say this could cause some parents to reject or abuse their children and could even lead to suicide. WRAL's capitol bureau chief Laura Leslie explains the bill and the debate.

Tonight on The Last Word: Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily blocks Sen. Lindsey Graham's testimony in the Georgia election probe. Also, an Iowa poll puts Sen. Chuck Grassley and retired Admiral Mike Franken in a statistical tie. Plus, North Carolina Senate nominees spar over abortion, crime and democracy. And a biography reveals new details about Sen. Ted Kennedy's life. Ben Rhodes, Bradley Moss, retired Admiral Mike Franken, Cheri Beasley and John Farrell join Lawrence O'Donnell.

North Carolina has been a target for Democrats this election cycle, with Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley out fundraising and outspending her Republican opponent, Congressman Ted Budd, seeking to flip this seat blue. While the Beasley campaign pushes to sway voters in the state, Budd has consistently outpolled Beasley throughout the race, suggesting he may have a slight edge in the election to replace retiring Republican Senator Richard Burr. GOP Congressman Ted Budd of North Carolina's 13th District joins to explain how he sees inflation severely hurting his constituents ahead of the midterms, how he would address rising crime by supporting border control and law enforcement, and he later shares why he believes his America-first campaign is resonating with voters.   In a speech he gave last weekend, Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed that he would not rule out the reunification of Taiwan by force, suggesting Beijing will speed up plans to annex the island. Taiwan currently recognizes itself as independent from China with its own government and military. Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL) recently returned from a trip to Taiwan and voiced concerns that the United States is running out of time to deter a Chinese invasion. Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) was also a part of that trip and joins the Rundown to discuss China's threat to national security, and why he believes Taiwan could be the next Ukraine.   Plus, commentary by author of "Charade: The Covid Lies That Crushed A Nation," David Marcus.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we talk about the tax consequences of student loan forgiveness. Generally, debt forgiveness is treated as income, and is therefore taxable. If the Biden Administration's current plan to forgive portions of student loans comes to fruition, the forgiven amount would normally be taxable. Provisions have been made to make student loan forgiveness tax free at the federal level. Some states, including North Carolina, would still treat the loan forgiveness as taxable, and borrowers would owe state taxes on the forgiven amounts. We discuss that issue, along with other issues related to taxes and higher education in North Carolina, along with the general business climate and taxation in the state of North Carolina with Senator Phil Berger, President Pro Tempore of the NC Senate.

There are record breaking numbers of LGBTQ+, Black and Latino candidates running in this year's midterm elections. Among the closely watched elections, like Stacey Abrams' second attempt in Georgia's gubernatorial election and the three Texas congressional districts along the southern boarder, many elections featuring diverse candidates like Cheri Beasley's race for North Carolina Senate or Odessa Kelly's shift to Tennessee's 7th Congressional District have flown under the radar of national political media. A panel of political strategists, Aisha Mills and Maria Cardona, discuss the elections they're following, the likelihood of a large demographic shift in Congress and the larger implications of more diverse representation.
