“The question is not whether the law should change,” said Vince Chelena, executive director of the North Carolina Travel Industry Association. “The question is whether local boards should follow the law that exists today.”

[Rep. Allen Chesser @gachesser]

I recently joined @NewFrameInc and @skydiving11 on the Do Politics Better podcast for a special Memorial Day episode. As a combat veteran, this holiday carries deep personal meaning. We had an honest conversation about what the day represents, the unique struggles veterans face when transitioning back to civilian life, and the concrete actions we can take to truly support them. #ncpol #ncga

This is everything. If you grew up on the 80s, check out this Bosom Buddies sendup. 📺

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

Paul Rudd and Adam Scott recreated the BOSOM BUDDIES sitcom intro just for fun and the attention to detail is insane 😂

Some survivors choose the campus disciplinary process for the benefit of confidentiality. When and if they share should be their choice, not a news organization’s. #ncpol

For Rep Allen @gachesser, #MemorialDay is not only about the start of summer. It's about reflection of those who served with him in combat, and the war they continue to fight decades after service.

Plus @skydiving11 & I talk #ncpol: new revenue forecast, constitutional amendments, and the politics of hugs and kisses.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

When @JohnHinnant asked if I wanted to kick off my #MemorialDay weekend @CarolinaBeachNC a day early, I really had to think about it.

I mean…wouldn’t I rather spend another day in landlocked Raleigh/Cary and braving beach traffic on a Friday evening?

Tough call. 🏖️

[John Hinnant @JohnHinnant]

Next Week,half of @NewFrameInc will be moderating a discussion on Modern Media in North Carolina Politics #ncpol . Meanwhile, his business partner, aka “The Muscle in the Machine” @skydiving11 will still be working at the @NCLeg - unless she too decides to take Friday off and come to the beach.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

@AStevens1956 @RossforNCHouse @skydiving11 @ncspeakerhall You and them have a lot in common: You both think your bills are defining someone’s legacy.

Y’all should have coffee, exchange notes on legislators’ legacies.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

Start your week with the #DoPoliticsBetter podcast:

🗣️ Budget talks continue
🏠 Senate property tax bill
🕵️‍♂️ US Reps Edwards, Adams

🎙️Rep Steve @RossforNCHouse talks to @skydiving11 & me about his #ncpol career, his concern over #ncga property tax bill, & his mother’s courage and grit after his father died of a stroke when he was in high school.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

@AStevens1956 @RossforNCHouse @skydiving11 @ncspeakerhall I think it’s hilarious you think any one bill will define someone’s 30-year #ncpol legacy.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

Nothing makes this Gen X-er feel older than realizing the “Wear Sunscreen” video (a message to graduates in 1999) somehow nailed every piece of life advice it gave, especially the part about your knees.

Congratulations, graduates.

And wear sunscreen. Trust me.
