Murphy filibuster aims to push gun control vote in Senate
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy launched a filibuster on Wednesday to force a vote on gun control, invoking the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy in Connecticut. He urged the chamber to act as Donald Trump weighed talks with the NRA, and noted Congress has not enacted major gun policy changes since the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook incidents.

Toll lanes plan cost to cancel on I 77 center stage
North Carolina transportation officials estimate 800 million dollars to cancel toll lane plans on I 77 north of Charlotte and to build new lanes. The figure splits into about 300 million to end the public private deal with 177 Mobility Partners and 500 million for the state to do the work itself. Critics argue cancellation costs as little as 30 million.
