Health care fight could raise bills for state workers
Major hospital systems in Charlotte and Raleigh rejected a new proposal to stay in the State Health Plan, risking higher rates for teachers and other state workers in 2020. Two deadlines passed without signups, as the plan and hospitals clash over price setting. The plan, overseen by State Treasurer Dale Folwell, aims for transparent, state-set pricing, but Atrium Health, Novant Health and UNC Health did not agree, potentially placing these providers out of network for state employees.

Eureka: North Carolina takes control of town finances
Northwestern Wayne County town Eureka loses budget autonomy as the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer assumes control of its sewer funds. The state impounds books and imposes a temporary budget while Senate Bill 777 suspends Eureka’s charter for five years to allow a recovery plan. The move marks a test case for a new rural town rescue program.
