Gov. Josh Stein vetoed immigration and gun legislation on Friday, and Republicans in the General Assembly have acknowledged that veto overrides will be difficult on two of the bills. Stein said the two immigration bills would "make us less safe" and lead to unconstitutional detentions. He also said eliminating permits for concealed weapons "undermines responsible gun ownership."They are the Democratic governor's first vetoes since taking office in January.

Two pieces of legislation that would involve North Carolina more deeply in the U.S. immigration crackdown passed the Republican-controlled General Assembly on Tuesday. Democratic Gov. Josh Stein now has 10 days to decide if he will sign the bills. A spokesperson said Stein was reviewing the proposals. "He has made clear that if someone commits a crime and they are here illegally; they should be deported," the spokesperson said in an email Tuesday.

Legislation that would further crack down on immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally is advancing in North Carolina. Senate Bill 153 — the "North Carolina Border Protection Act" — attempts to advance President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. The bill would deepen the state's relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, make "sanctuary cities" liable for crimes committed in their jurisdictions and restrict universities from defying ICE.

Republican leaders in the General Assembly are discussing whether to cut off the money large cities get for street paving projects. Since 1951, communities have gotten state money to maintain local roads through the Powell Bill. According to the Department of Transportation, most of that money goes to resurfacing over 20,000 miles of municipal streets that aren't part of the state highway system.

I really can’t stand a bus that runs early. Especially on a route that only runs every hour or half hour. Read once that a public transit driver’s job is not to take people from place to place, but rather to simply be in a certain place at a predictable time.
