Last month, the General Assembly passed new district maps for Congress, NC House, and NC Senate. Not subject to the Governor’s approval, these maps are now law and will take effect for the 2024 Election. Voters across the state have been learning more about their new districts, and the candidates running to represent them.
On November 23, 2021, I loaded my handgun to potentially defend my family for the first and, hopefully, the last time in my life. Due to Covid, our children had to stay home from school, but one positive outcome was the installation of exterior security cameras around our home. At 2:00 AM, our Ring camera notifications woke me up. With one eye barely opened, I noticed a figure walking across our driveway.

It’s fall in North Carolina, which means the leaves are changing, the Tobacco Road Rivalry is revving up, and we’re finally getting a reprieve from muggy late-summer heat – but it also means campaign season has kicked into high gear.
The state of North Carolina is projecting an increase of $1.9 billion over previous estimates. Neuse News reached out to NC Senate Majority Whip Jim Perry and NC Representative Chris Humphrey for their response to the revised General Fund revenue forecast.
NC Senate Majority Whip, Senator Jim Perry and Representative Chris Humphrey announced they have secured budget funding for the following Lenoir County projects and organizations:
2020 was a difficult year for all of us. Our lives were turned upside down because of a global pandemic that has caused great pain throughout our community. We were forced to adapt to various safety regulations and a completely new way to go about our lives. Through all those changes, I’m proud of how we’ve responded as a state. Our communities have found a way to bend – not break – in uncertain times and find creative ways to keep us moving forward.
The Town of La Grange filed a declaratory judgment action in Lenoir County Superior Court, asking the Court to review Governor Roy Cooper’s Executive Order No. 124. The filing also asks the court to enter a declaration that Section 1 of the order unlawfully interferes with the ability of utility service providers to exercise their own discretion and judgment in collecting charges for utility services provided to their customers.
“This case is not about disconnecting customers,” said Town Manager John Craft, “it’s about preserving the Town’s ability and discretion to operate its electric system in a manner that balances the needs of customers undergoing financial difficulties with the Town’s obligation to maintain the fiscal health of its system and meet its debt service obligations.”
“Small cities and towns in rural North Carolina that provide utility services, such as electricity and water/sewer, cannot survive extended government overreach enacted by Executive Order 124,” said Representative Chris Humphrey.
Senator Jim Perry and Representative Chris Humphrey joined their colleagues in unanimously approving two COVID-19 response packages, including over $1.5 billion in much-needed relief for families, students, workers, businesses and hospitals to help deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Senator Jim Perry and Representative Chris Humphrey released statements this afternoon following Governor Cooper’s Executive Order closing schools and prohibiting mass gatherings for the next two weeks.
