Grabbed a few hours of sleep. Fixed my first cup of coffee. Said a prayer.
Everyone knows the scoreboard. There is nothing else to talk about. We work until the job is done.
This week's segment on @NeighborhoodTV with @JonathanFelts explores our local firefighters. Given the recent fires in the Charlotte area, we shed light on firefighter compensation and benefits, discussing the importance of these first responders. #SupportOurFirefighters#ncpol

Thank you @NC_Governor and @FLONC for visiting Main St today. Though we mourn the loss of our largest business, our small businesses have and
will continue to power the #CantonComeback 🇺🇸
CANTON: @NC_Governor and @FLONC shopped in several downtown stores following the closure of the paper mill earlier this week to encourage North Carolinians to support small businesses in this community #ncpol
It’s an absolute slap in the face. For 30 years I’ve poured my heart and soul into teaching, and this is so defeating. I feel so disrespected. In two years my daughter will start her teaching journey, but will she stay? Republican Senators- you were TAUGHT better than this.
NC Senate would give veteran teachers $250 raise over 2 years. Is it a ‘slap in the face’? Senate GOP says budget was focused on helping attract new teachers. Gov. Cooper says it's 'insultingly low salary increases' for veteran teachers. #nced#ncpol#ncganewsobserver.com/news/politi…

He’s banned from entering the building, but has been here almost 45 minutes and they haven’t arrested him for trespassing (yet) #ncpol#ncga
First Citizens Bank in Raleigh confirms it is laying off close to 500 former Silicon Valley Bank employees, effective today.
@firstcitizens purchased SVB in late March following the latter's collapse.
Chris Rey of Charlotte (and former mayor of Spring Lake) told me this morning he is no longer running for NC lieutenant governor.
Said too much time required to run, plus serve as president of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity (large nonprofit) plus be with his family.
