Rift Over Abolishing Pitt County Peace Officers Fund
In Raleigh a split between Dr. Wooten and Sam Worthington over abolishing Pitt County peace officers fund led to a bill introduction and a motion to table. Lawmakers delayed decisive action to seek agreement. A Guilford delegation rift saw healing ointment as Shreve and Moseley civil service bills were recalled and re referred to interstate cooperation, leaving the High Point matter unresolved.

Tennessee County Boundary Talk Stirring State Assembly
The piece notes debate on ceding Graham and Madison Counties to Tennessee, with Speaker Kerr and other members weighing partisan scraps. It reports Nathan Yelton opposing a constitutional amendment reshaping the state school board and keeping current arrangements, while a November amendment would shift duties to a new board of education and a different comptroller. The House narrowly defeated the measure, then reconsidered it, with key players Libby Ward and Ira Halstead hoping to block the proposal. Vann's log rule bill draws lumber industry opposition, signaling broad scrutiny of the measure’s impact.
