Senate split over term limits and campaign finance reform
In Raleigh Republicans and Democrats locked horns as 26 Democrats backed the hybrid term limits and campaign finance reform measure, but the proposal failed on a party-line vote under a constitutional requirement of 30 votes. The House earlier moved a budget plan amid GOP unrest, while a separate Raleigh report notes education spending and DPI cuts. In Cleveland County a 17 year old was electrocuted near a camper behind a girlfriend’s house. Davidson County inmates will be charged 10 per nonemergency nurse visits under a new county policy.
