Thousands of acres of burning in North Carolina and South Carolina this weekend are due to extremely high fire danger.The largest fires are in Polk County, North Carolina, where firefighters are battling the Black Cobve, Deep Woods and Fish Hook fires. Combined over 3,000 acres have burned and nearby residents have been evacuated to a shelter in Columbus.Fires are burned Saturday in Table Rock, South Carolina and Burke County, North Carolina.A Norfolk Southern freight train started a small grass fire in Huntersville, North Carolina.The weather forecast remains dry and sunny. Combined with leftover storm debris from Helene and ongoing gusty winds, state officials in both North Carolina and South Carolina have issued statewide burn bans.James Brierton provides this update on the ongoing wildfires from the Carolina Weather Group studio in Charlotte.

If you experienced Hurricane Milton- or Helene or Debby- it's something you don't want to relive. But for some people in Tampa Bay- they're still dealing with flooding from last year's storms. WUSF's Sky Lebron visited people in Pasco and Polk County who whose homes were flooded during last year's hurricane season. Some are living in RVs because floodwaters left their homes uninhabitable. Others are still unable to get into their houses because the water never went down. Lebron talked with Florida Matters about how they are coping and why it's been so hard for them to get help. 

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson break down the latest state revenue estimate and how it will shape Iowa's budget and tax policy for the coming year. The hosts explain how the March Revenue Estimate (REC) showed a slight decrease in projected revenue due to the phased-in impact of Iowa's flat tax, but emphasize that this was expected and part of the long-term tax reduction strategy.Chris and John highlight Iowa's strong financial position despite the revenue drop. Iowa still maintains a $2 billion surplus for the current fiscal year, with fully funded reserve accounts and a $3.5 billion balance in the Taxpayer Relief Fund. The hosts stress that this strategic approach allows Iowa to fund tax cuts without jeopardizing essential services.The conversation shifts to the property tax bill introduced by Senator Dan Dawson and Representative Bobby Kaufmann. The bill includes a 2% revenue cap on city and county governments, makes adjustments to school funding, and replaces the current rollback system. Chris and John explain how these reforms aim to reduce the property tax burden while controlling local government spending.They also discuss Governor Reynolds' directive requiring state agencies to justify any new hires, reinforcing her commitment to government efficiency. The hosts compare this approach to the challenges of local government spending, particularly in Polk County, which has increased staff levels by 9% over the last four years.Wrapping up, Chris and John stress that Iowa's conservative leadership is executing a long-term plan to reduce taxes and control spending—offering sustainable solutions rather than short-term fixes.

Edmundo Dasilva, a Transportation Security Officer for Homeland Security at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, was caught in a sting operation on the show "Takedown with Chris Hansen" in Polk County, Florida. Born in Venezuela and raised in Florida, Dasilva moved to Holly Springs, North Carolina after his marriage. During a vacation, presumably in Florida, he was entrapped in a hotel sting where he met an undercover cop posing as a minor's father. Dasilva acted suspiciously quiet, accepted a key to a hotel room, and upon entry, was arrested for soliciting a minor. Throughout the arrest, Dasilva displayed erratic behavior, sweating profusely and screaming claims of innocence and entrapment. Despite his protests and denials of any illicit intent, the situation escalated as he continued to scream, even as detectives threatened additional charges for disturbing the peace. The ordeal ended with his arrest and public confrontation with Chris and his camera crew outside the police station.

By the 1990s, support for keeping Monmouth's ban on booze wasn't about morality; it was about the cachet that came with being the only “dry” town west of the Mississippi. But that wasn't enough to overcome the economic issues.

WPA writer Sara B. Wrenn's oral history interview with Portland attorney A.L. Veazie, who grew up in Polk County in the late 1800s, recalling what life was like with the Chinese laborers who were working on railroads and other worksites. Not all his recollections are flattering, but they're not super surprising given that the Chinese were nearly all young, socially ostracized peasant men in a foreign land.

An Iowa agriculture organization is concerned with President-elect Trump's plan to impose high tariffs. Polk County might increase its budget to cover hotel stays for families without housing. And a report suggests construction companies are illegally labeling workers as independent contractors to save money.

Rural citizens can't take for granted "meals on wheels". Funding levels are low and volunteers tough to find in rural Wisconsin. So says Ronda James, the nutrition program director at the Aging and Disability Resource Center in Central Wisconsin. They serve Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, and Wood counties with the Meals on Wheels program. Just last year, their small team and 350+ volunteers delivered 145,000 meals to more than 1,300 residents. Unfortunately, James says their costs have gone up about 30 percent as the demand for the program also grows. Weather is changing says Stu Muck, ag meteorologist. Pam Jahnke and Stu also discuss how consumers can find out exactly where their milk originated with a simple code on the container.Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group says they're as busy as they'll ever be in a calendar year, right now!

Rep. Jake Johnson is Western North Carolina to his core.  Born and raised in rural Polk County, he knows just about everyone in his close-knit district spanning over Rutherford, McDowell, Henderson, and his home county. The 30-year old Republican talks about his public service, including his important position as co-chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, also called Gov-Ops for short.   However, the conversation isn't all business as Skye and Brian discover Rep. Johnson has a love for (almost) all things James Bond, and he has family ties to moonshine, racing, and coon dogs.   Plus, NC is inside two weeks of Election Day, early voting numbers are coming in strong, Mark Robinson amends his lawsuit, #TOTW, Skye's appearance on State Lines gets unwanted attention to her feet, and more.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.
