AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

State Budget Watch: North Carolina’s long-awaited $34B budget deal clears with a “ho-hum” tone from lawmakers, including a 3% pay raise for state employees, an average 8% teacher increase, and major policy shifts like eliminating vehicle emissions testing, adding road funding, and introducing ferry tolls. Hemp Crackdown: The NC Senate approved a bill to restrict hemp-derived THC and kratom products, aiming to ban most intoxicating hemp items sold in the state. Food Safety: Publix is recalling frozen GreenWise organic IQF blueberries shipped to multiple states, including North Carolina, after potential E. coli contamination. Gas Prices: GasBuddy reports show premium prices dipping in parts of the state (including Madison County at $4.44) while E85 stays far cheaper than regular in many areas. Local Business & Culture: Mt. Olive Pickle Company pulled out of the DC America 250 fair after controversy over a Confederate flag appearing in the North Carolina booth video. Higher Ed Finance: Saint Augustine’s University faces a critical Chapter 11 bankruptcy hearing as scrutiny intensifies over its finances and grant funding.
