North Carolina has never been a home rule state—counties & cities exist at the pleasure of the General Assembly.
Voters will decide: this property tax levy limit is headed to a statewide constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot.
If locals want to exceed the limit? The proposal requires a direct referendum back to county voters.
Latest @CarolinaJournal poll (March 2026): 73% of likely NC voters support the amendment limiting property tax increases. (Only 12% oppose.)
This isn’t “stripping local control.” It’s the General Assembly exercising its well-established legislative authority to impose common-sense guardrails + real taxpayer accountability on runaway property taxes. #NCGA #ncpol
LeBron James last night fell to the ground writhing in pain, replay showed that he hit nothing of significance despite him grabbing both arms, and screaming as if he’d been hit by a car. He then exits the game.
Lakers go on a run, as they show a trainer working on his left arm. They cut the lead to 1, and LeBron suddenly gets worried that the Lakers look better without him, so he stops faking to reenter the game with a couple minutes left.
Lakers momentum is instantly zapped, and the team doesn’t score another basket until there’s 7 seconds left in the game. After the game he said that he “hit his funny bone”.
LeBron James isn’t a Top 10 NBA player— NEVER put his name in a sentence with Michael Jordan.

@TonyYayo104663@Hunter_Bailey45@theobserver Players said they’d stay under Ferne, didn’t really work out that way. You can’t trust the kids to stay at all. Gotta hire best coach.
Greedy pharmacy benefit managers are profiting from charity care in states across the country. Lawmakers need to step up for patients transparency and reform in healthcare: https://t.co/rVvtwdIEho (https://t.co/rVvtwdIEho)

“Don’t be fooled by snapshot polls showing Trump beating Biden — which Democrats are hyping because, for now, they want us to think he can win. He can’t. Don’t allow the intensity of Trump’s base supporters to mask how deeply unpopular he is with the country writ large. He had consistently low job-approval ratings as president … Trump could never again win a national election after the 2020 coup attempt, the Capitol riot, and his continued delusional insistence that reelection was stolen from him.
“Moreover, the demagogic riffs that make MAGA crowds swoon — and that Trump doubled down on at this week’s Mar-a-Lago rally (because why wouldn’t an arraignment be the occasion for a rally?) — are exactly what most Americans find deeply disturbing about him. If he’s the nominee, the Democrats will retain the White House by ten points or more, with the tide sweeping the Senate and the House their way, too.”

He is, of course, 100% right.
