LOVE this very important story from @VirginiaBridges and David Raynor. I use eCourts every single day & couldn't do the reporting I needed to for 2 days last week because it was down. It is wild how many glitches this website still has.

A DNA analyst was found manipulating tests inside Charlotte's crime lab, setting off court delays and retests. The lab tests evidence for local, state and federal agencies. Authorities won't say how many cases have been affected. @theobserver https://t.co/hp741Xz2tr

To cover $150-170m shortfall for Hurricane Matthew, Florence @rebuild_nc tried to siphon off $111m from the Housing Finance Agency, which helps folks w affordable housing needs. Tried to get at COVID $$ as well. @nc_governor @insideclimate #ncpol #ncga

Friday night lights in Waynesville for the first time since Helene. Pisgah High is playing at a local middle school, its home stadium flooded out; its small downtown, Canton, in ruins. The community is still reeling from the closing of its mill last year.

But it has tonight.

One of my journalism heroes Donald L. Barlett, one-half of the Pulitzer-Prize-winning team Barlett& Steele, has died at 88. I'll never forget early in my career that he and Jim Steele sat down for a half at an IRE conference to talk to me. https://t.co/VQg3ZdHXlu

The list of roads damaged or closed in Western #NorthCarolina continues to grow as #ncdot crews get deeper into the mountains. #Helene #NorthCarolinaFlood

Here’s a searchable database of NC roads closed and damaged by Tropical Storm Helene https://t.co/b3Z6bK3baz

[Renee Umsted @renee_umsted]

Many people lost cell service when Helene swept through the Southeast.

Hams stepped up and literally answered the call. https://t.co/1FzSY0Nl6L

Highly recommend this outstanding reporting and storytelling by @alexzietlow05 and @theobserver. Alex is developing into one of the best young sports reporters in newspapers with his push to find special stories like this.

[The News & Observer @newsobserver]

Still no cell service in much of battered western NC. Why is it so tough to fix? https://t.co/AADq61STSZ
