Democrats aim to trim GOP margin in North Carolina
North Carolina Democrats seek to reduce Republican veto power by gaining four House seats or five Senate seats in the 120 member House and 50 member Senate. They aim to curb Gov. Pat McCrory and resist HB 2 backlash while focusing on swing districts around Raleigh and Charlotte with rising unaffiliated voters. Mary Belk challenges Rob Bryan in the 88th House District, hoping McCrory discontent boosts her bid.

Funding debate rift over charter and public schools persists
Local funding discussions distract from bigger issues of how state money should reach charter and traditional public schools. Advocates say charter budgets may be inadequate, and long term solutions require collaboration toward a common goal rather than fighting over local dollars.
Movie misses facts in Jacksonville heist film
The film largely sticks to a real life heist for the first 30 minutes but then diverges for laughs. It shows Ghantt and Steve Chambers meeting in Mexico though they never became friends. Real details like FBI wiretaps and Terry marijuana, plus end credits with the real Steve Chambers and David Ghantt, offer stronger authenticity. Kevin Ellis can be reached at 704-869-1823 or via The Gazette Twitter page.
