Another year, another round of gerrymandering in NC. As Republicans rush to do President Trump's bidding for a politically-motivated redistricting, our take on how to solve the gerrymandering problem permanently.
Republicans say they will redraw North Carolina's Congressional maps again—the fourth time in the last five years—in order to help their party win more seats in 2026.
Brockman, a Guilford County Democrat, was also accused in court documents of trying to contact the juvenile victim after the alleged rape. Democrats called the accusations “unconscionable and incompatible with public service.”
Floodwaters, rats, and mold once threatened to derail a Haywood County family’s future—until Medicaid helped them find safe housing. Now advocates warn stories like theirs may disappear under Republicans’ “big beautiful bill.”
Lawmakers are not set to return until three weeks after the state is scheduled to enact cuts that could cause some of the most vulnerable residents to lose their life-saving care.
The legislature returns on Monday and could vote to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of a bill that would make it far easier to carry a concealed weapon in public.
North Carolina lawmakers want to follow the federal government's lead on exempting taxes on tips in most cases but critics of the policy said the minor benefits would only help a small number of workers.
The board overseeing the health insurance plan for North Carolina workers and retirees voted Friday to raise most enrollees’ premiums to help cover a deficit that has grown to $507 million this year.
The General Assembly has still not agreed on a full budget and the "mini-budget" it passed last month fell $319 million short of what is needed to fund Medicaid. The state's health secretary told lawmakers that if they don't fill that gap, some services would have to be reduced.
Regulations will become harder to approve under a new law that North Carolina legislators passed, by overriding Gov. Josh Stein's veto. House Bill 402, known as the REINS Act, requires the General Assembly's approval for rules or regulations costing more than $20 million over five years.
