Summary
On this week’s North Carolina News Roundup... The state legislature has reached a bustling pitch – considering a moratorium on some tax changes, making confidential NIL agreements, and a social media ban for some teens. A potential major healthcare merger is on the table in the Triangle. One North Carolina congressman is under investigation. And Charlotte’s mayor will soon step down. Due South host Jeff Tiberii and a panel of local journalists provide context and analysis from those and other stories from the week.
