    The Carolina Journal makes a wide sweeping evaluation of the news that most effects us here in North Carolina, and is distilled, here on BCN, for your clear understanding by the electronic means of video broadcast.



    This week on The Debrief: The N.C. Senate kicked off the week presenting its version of the state budget and wrapped the week giving it bipartisan passage. The state legislature also voted to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of SB 20, a measure restricting abortion in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Within minutes, Cooper appealed to donors and took to national news outlets to declare the measure a result of “diabolical gerrymandering.” Meanwhile, 57% of North Carolina voters support restrictions on abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
