AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Local Politics: Alamance County commissioners are back in the spotlight after three attended a grassroots meeting in Saxapahaw about controversial subdivisions—raising fresh questions about whether public officials are dodging North Carolina’s open-meetings rules. Higher Ed Culture Wars: A new pushback against “wokeness” in academia is colliding with the American Sociological Association’s leadership and award criteria, which still explicitly reward diversity, equity, and inclusion. Housing Affordability: A new NAHB analysis finds 65% of U.S. households can’t afford a newly built home—an affordability squeeze that’s even worse in states where 80%+ are priced out. Brand Fight: Texas travel giant Buc-ee’s is suing a Georgia convenience store over alleged brand infringement, including mascot and naming similarities. Business & Power: Data-center growth keeps driving debate in North Carolina, with lawmakers clashing over how much local control should be allowed. National Politics: Republicans are also gearing up for the midterms as redistricting battles reshape the House map.
