Duke Power Sees 1960 Shortage Without Rate Hike
Carl Horn of Duke Power told the North Carolina Utilities Commission that power shortages by 1960 would occur unless Duke can raise rates to fund its expansion. He testified as the commission heard Duke’s request for a 23.6 percent increase while noting earnings have been too low for five years and inflation outpaces past increases.

Daniel Seeks Access to Outer Banks Through Refuge
Rep. Robert W. Daniel of Virginia introduced legislation to let Outer Banks property owners drive through the Back Bay wildlife refuge. If enacted, the bill would overturn an Interior Department ban, saving property owners a 100 mile detour to reach Norfolk-Virginia Beach. The measure is backed by several co-sponsors and faces a Fisheries, Wildlife and Environment subcommittee review.

Saunders Face Repeated Flooding As Water Backups Hit Home
The Saunders family, residents for 14 years, report rising flood risks after recent drainage changes behind their home. In the past 13 years they faced water backup during heavy rains, but the last three events this year were far worse, threatening the driveway area where two trees sit. The elder Saunders notes a persistent problem but cannot confirm if drainage updates caused the latest flooding.
