Mask ban and budget talks stall, DEI undone

NC Capitol Wrap

Eric and Lara Trump are speaking at the annual NCGOP convention, where North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is also speaking as Donald Trump looks for a vice presidential running mate. In the legislature, a war of words between Republican leaders on state budget talks and a proposal to undo the law allowing people to wear masks for health reasons. The UNC System BOG votes to repeal DEI policies. Gov. Roy Cooper issues a noteworthy veto as he heads out the door for a European business recruiting trip. And a new state constitutional amendment would say that only citizens can vote, which the constitution already says.
