First, the good news. As North Carolina’s lawmakers crank up their every-other-year “short” session (well, sometimes it’s not so short), they’ll have the luxury of working with a healthy boost in anticipated revenue. Healthy to the tune of a projected $1.4 billion – money to be factored into the state budget, now pegged at $30 […] The post Lawmakers should direct surplus funds to state’s critical needs appeared first on NC Newsline.

When most Americans think about what it is that a president does every day, they tend to think about the things that make the headlines: big speeches, bill signing events, the stances they take on high-profile controversies, the image they project to the rest of the world, and the gossip that surrounds their family and […] The post How presidents make a real difference appeared first on NC Newsline.

Newly anointed RNC co-chair Lara Trump’s recent impassioned plea for folks to donate money, even if they currently don’t have any, would make P.T.

When conservatives balk at scrutinizing public spending

Commentary Archives • NC Newsline ·

2024/04/23

For many years, it’s been a mantra on the political right that state government should be “run like a business” – a business that’s lean and efficient, and in which any hint of waste and self-dealing must be aggressively investigated and rooted out. Several years back, a Raleigh conservative think tank railed repeatedly against the […] The post When conservatives balk at scrutinizing public spending appeared first on NC Newsline.

2024/04/17

Washington, Hyde, Gates, and Yancey are four of the North Carolina counties without a single pediatrician, OB-GYN, or psychiatrist. This is not uncommon — 20 of our state’s counties lack a pediatrician, 26 lack an OB-GYN, and 32 lack a psychiatrist. These provider shortages disproportionately impact rural and low-income communities and would likely worsen under a […] The post Why three NC medical students think an anti-DEI bill would be a disaster for medicine appeared first on NC
