Editor McCrory vetoed a General Assembly bill easing E-verify for farm labor, a move seen as risking a labor shortage in Henderson County with its $142 million annual farm economy and 557 farms. Farmers rely on seasonal workers and avoid illegal hiring, while advocates urge reform for a legal, steady labor supply.

Real estate reality shows miss the mark on budget and taste
A reader critiques HGTV type programs for pushing unreal budgets from $4.5 million for a 2000 square foot New York apartment to $12.5 million for an eight thousand square foot Beverly Hills fixer. They lampoon modern kitchen trends and designer wood, praising their own modest 1989-1990 home in Henderson County with Formica countertops and white cabinets. The piece notes the contrast between TV fantasies and real budgets, stressing practical, comfortable living over outrageous design trends.
