Stein Signs Bills; Duke Rate Fight; Hemp Debate Grows
Description
Governor Josh Stein has signed four bills into law while criticizing provisions he says place “petty” restrictions on the governor’s authority. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Jackson is opposing a proposed Duke Energy settlement, arguing that a 6.8% rate increase remains too costly for North Carolina customers. The program also examines the growing federal debate over hemp regulation, which has placed U.S. Sen. Ted Budd at the center of an issue that has also divided lawmakers in Raleigh. Plus, the North Carolina Department of Labor has recovered a record $3.7 million in unpaid wages for workers across the state.
