    26 years later, Friedman’s free-market ideas meet NC’s ballot (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Twenty-six years ago today, economist Milton Friedman sat down for an interview about freedom and free markets. On Oct. 1, 2000, Friedman was asked by PBS why freedom and free markets were inseparable. His simple explanation is worth remembering as North Carolina voters prepare to consider three constitutional amendments this fall. “Freedom requires individuals to be free to use their own resources in their own way,” Friedman said, explaining that the free market allows people to cooperate volun

    A bluer ballot isn’t a mandate for bigger government (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    In last week’s Carolina Journal Poll, 49.5% of North Carolina likely voters favored Democratic candidates to 41.3% who said they intend to vote for a Republican. The results indicate an advantage for Democrats heading into November. Historically, the party in the White House often faces headwinds in midterm elections, but the advantage still looks like it is for Democrats. Candidate preference is only part of the story.

    As North Carolina wraps up its second week of mail voting ahead of the Nov. 3 election, political observers are watching more than how many ballots are coming back. They’re watching where those ballots are coming from. All 170 seats in the General Assembly — 120 in the House and 50 in the Senate — are on the ballot this year.

    This week, international G20 leaders met in Asheville, North Carolina, to discuss high-level policy and geopolitics. The meetings come as we near the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene. Yet just a few miles away, the region remains more than 5,000 housing units short of putting a roof over every Helene victim’s head. That is according to a handy dashboard from the Office of the State Auditor, which also reports that $5.1 billion has been spent on Helene recovery so far, with 347 projects c

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    North Carolina is directing more than $122 million in federal disaster recovery funding toward affordable housing in western North Carolina, with new programs aimed at both renters and prospective homeowners as communities continue rebuilding from Hurricane Helene. The funding announced nearly 23 months after the storm, on Aug. 25, includes more than $69 million for 10 multifamily rental projects expected to create 828 affordable rental units in 10 western counties. The state also opened applica
