Opening Day of Session! And a Conversation with the ACLU of NC’s Ann Webb

The NC General Assembly opened its 2023-2024 biennium on Wednesday with a day of celebration, optimism, and bipartisanship (for the most part).  This podcast covers the ceremonial day, including a new rule in the House that will allow for easier veto overrides in that chamber, the news that an abortion bill is being negotiated between the House and Senate, and a list of unfinished business from 2021-22 likely to get action this session.  

Skye and Brian also talk to ACLU of NC Senior Policy Counsel Ann Webb about her positive approach to the General Assembly on offensive and defensive issues.

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, and the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association.
