Wonder if the same bunch deciding no DC participation is the same bunch that decided to close the NC history museum for remodeling during USA 250? Hum.

NC is one of the 6-7 states that has pulled out of the Great American State Fair. #ncpol #America250
I asked @NC_Governor's office about it, they sent my email to Dept. of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR). That dept. told me the withdrawal was due to a cost est. of $100K.
Sen. Alexander, co-chair of the #ncga semiquincentennial committee, sent a letter to Stein urging him to reconsider.
Alexander's office tells me Ann Evangelista, the Legislative Affairs Director with NCDNCR, is meeting with him tomorrow about it. Evangelista has been the point of contact between the committee and NCDNCR for America 250 celebration work.
I contacted the Fair organizers and am waiting to hear back.

NC families work too hard to be blindsided by massive property tax hikes simply because the government says the value of their home increased.

So we’re putting a one year pause on sudden spikes caused by reappraisals in certain counties.

House Republicans will NEVER stop fighting for taxpayers.

The NC House passed legislation Wednesday aimed at tightening the state’s involuntary commitment process and addressing public safety concerns tied to untreated severe mental illness.

🚨 New York Democrats just voted to erase "Mother" and "Father”.

Governor Kathy Hochul will be replacing "mother" with "gestating parent" and "father" with "non-gestating parent."

This isn't inclusion, it's insanity.

While New Yorkers battle sky-high taxes, crime, and failing schools, The state is obsessed with rewriting biology and the English language. Real parents don't need woke bureaucrats redefining them.

Reject this nonsense.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is putting every state on notice in a massive crackdown on Medicaid fraud.

FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson just announced that Hawaii has been officially decertified for failing to enforce the law and address the fraud problem plaguing the state.

"Everyone is on notice. And today, Hawaii is being decertified for its abject failure to enforce state and federal law to prohibit fraud."

The harder Democrats fight voter ID, the more Americans rally behind it.

Last fall at a @JudiciaryGOP field hearing in Charlotte, I sat across from Stephen Federico, whose daughter Logan was killed by a career criminal with 25 felonies who never should have been on the streets.

Fixing that kind of failure is a policy problem, and for too long soft on crime politicians have been making those policies while innocent families pay the price.

Logan's Law is an answer to that, and I am proud to be an original cosponsor. This bill creates a publicly accessible database of violent criminal offenders and holds the judges and prosecutors who give career criminals a pass accountable to the American people.

We owe that to Logan and every family who has lived this nightmare.

It’s personal news time: My nearly 33-year run at The Associated Press has come to an end. Like dozens of colleagues in the company, I accepted a buyout. My last day was Thursday. (1/6)
