Last update: 7 hours ago

State Supreme Court & Local Spending: Currituck County commissioners won a unanimous North Carolina Supreme Court ruling allowing occupancy-tax money to be spent on tourism-linked public safety, after taxpayers challenged the use. Public Safety Accountability: In Sampson County, residents gathered outside the DSS and pressed commissioners for transparency in the SBI investigation of a June 12 officer-involved shooting death of Shawn West Jr., including questions about mental-health response and training. Government Oversight in Cary: Cary leaders held an emergency news conference after the state auditor’s findings on misuse and weak oversight tied to former town manager Sean Stegall, pledging procurement-card and accountability reforms. Elections Administration Trust: North Carolina’s state and local election boards faced fresh controversy over the perception of partisanship as boards consider changes that could make it easier to reject ballots. US Senate Race Watch: Roy Cooper continues to lead fundraising in the 2026 U.S. Senate race, with new filings showing a widening gap over Michael Whatley. Federal Election Security Claims: Trump’s latest declassified intelligence release reignited debate over whether China acquired massive voter data, including references to North Carolina among affected jurisdictions. Health Policy & Costs: Oral health advocates flagged confusing language in NC’s budget tied to Medicaid dental reimbursement in ambulatory centers, while broader coverage highlighted rising healthcare administrative burdens.
