North Carolina Adopts Ethics Disclosure Law for Legislators
The North Carolina General Assembly enacted a law requiring legislators and legislative candidates to disclose financial interests and potential conflicts of interest. An ethics committee will monitor violations and failure to file could lead to removal from the ballot, though few expect that penalty. The bill, driven by freshman lawmakers post Watergate, trims client disclosure to business types. High Point's city ethics code shows how such rules often remain unused.

Hathaway confirms amid New River protection hopes
President Ford's nomination of Stanley Hathaway for interior secretary drew environmental opposition over growth impact. Hathaway's Senate confirmation last week shifts attention to the New River valley relief project and potential inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System as North Carolina officials seek protective status against hydroelectric development. Gov. Holshouser supported Hathaway, while Sen. Helms voted for confirmation. Morgan was absent but indicated support. The outcome signals possible gains for preserving the second oldest river in the world.
