Summary
On this week’s North Carolina News Roundup... The White House wants a $1.8 billion dollar “anti-weaponization” fund — part of which would go to help January 6 rioters. Republican Senator Thom Tillis provided some harsh pushback on that proposal. We’ll also get caught up on a busy ballot initiative week at the state legislature. Due South host Jeff Tiberii and a panel of local journalists provide context and analysis from those and other stories from the week.
