NEWS BRIEFING

Tillis highlights Trump in first re-election bid ad Washington, D.C. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis’ first ad for his re-election campaign emphasizes an endorsement from President Donald Trump and immigration-related legislation that he has filed.

The Republican incumbent’s campaign unveiled on Tuesday the television commercial airing statewide that includes footage from a Trump rally in which he calls Tillis “a warrior.” Trump also mentions legislation that Tillis introduced that in part would allow crime victims to sue localities whose law enforcement agency won’t accept federal immigration detainers. The Tillis campaign announced last week it has already scheduled over $2 million in advertising through the March 3 primary.

Retired investment company firm executive Garland Tucker is challenging Tillis for the GOP nomination.

Duke Energy plans to invest more in renewable power Charlotte Duke Energy says it plans to invest heavily in renewable energy and natural gas powered plants to further reduce its carbon emissions by 2030. The utility said Tuesday it plans to double its portfolio of solar, wind and other renewable power sources by 2025 and speed up its move away from coal power as part of the plan. The utility says it now expects to cut its 2005 levels of carbon emissions in half by 2030.

Bishop, Murphy sworn into US House Washington, D.C. Two Republicans who triumphed in special elections were sworn into the U.S. House on Tuesday. Dan Bishop and Greg Murphy will bring the House to full strength, if only for a few days. A lawmaker from Wisconsin has said he will relinquish his office next week.

For now, the new additions will leave Democrats controlling the chamber by 235-199, plus one independent. If that margin doesn’t change, that means the GOP will need to gain 19 seats in the 2020 elections to recapture House control, a surge that will be difficult.

STATE ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION

GOP veto override leaves questions about Democrat strategy Democrats protested but might have missed parliamentary opportunity to stop the vote to override Gov. Cooper’s budget veto

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — Following Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of the state’s budget, House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Kings Mountain) made it clear that if a veto override opportunity presented itself, he would take it.

And on Sept. 11, Moore did just that.

The House overrode the governor’s veto over objections from Rep. Deb Butler (D-New Hanover), who claimed it was announced the day prior that the morning session would have “no votes.”

That assertion would be repeated later by Rep. Darren Jackson (D-Wake) and reported by media outlets. However, Jackson confirmed at a press conference that his “staff sent out a notice to my caucus telling them that were having some planning meetings this morning; we were having a meeting at 8 o’clock to prepare for House Finance at 9, we were having a House Democrat redistricting meeting at 9 to prepare for redistricting at 10.”

When asked in an interview on Sept. 16, Rep. Butler stood by her claim that no votes were to be taken at the morning ses-

sion and she rejected the idea that there had been some kind of miscommunication.

“No, we were lied to and told there would be no votes in the morning session,” Butler told North State Journal. “The chairman of the Rules Committee told our leader that very clearly and also texted it to Laura Leslie.”

WRAL published text messages between Rules Committee Chair Rep. David Lewis (R-Harnett) and WRAL reporter Laura Leslie which appear to show Lewis responding to Leslie’s question of whether the house would have a voting session at 8:30 on Wednesday with “No votes at 830.”

Just over half of the House was in attendance on Sept. 11 — 55 Republicans and 15 Democrats, including Butler. Thirty-nine Democrats were marked as not voting. Democratic members who were in attendance included nine-term Rep. Becky Carney (D-Meck.) and fourterm Rep. Yvonne Lewis Holley (D-Wake) and nine freshman Democrats.

Another part of the veto override that gained attention were claims made by Butler regarding map drawing.

“We are downstairs right now trying to redraw partisan heavy voting maps,” said Rep. Butler during her protest of the vote on the House Floor.

When asked to clarify those See BUDGET, page A3

By Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH — Facing a deadline this week, the North Carolina legislature stayed on track to enact replacement districts for dozens of its seats on time.

Showing bipartisan support, the full Senate voted 38-9 on Monday evening for new chamber districts in 20 of the state’s 100 counties, most in the state’s urban centers.

The House already approved a new map late last week that reworked boundaries in 28 counties.

Both sets of maps must be approved by both chambers by Wednesday to comply with a state court ruling that declared 2017 boundaries violated the state constitution. A three-judge panel ruled Sept. 3 that Republicans improperly used partisanship to draw state legislative districts.

Earlier Monday, many of the more than 50 speakers at a joint House-Senate public hearing about the proposed district lines said the process has improved over the past but remained split on whether the replacement maps are any better than the old gerrymandered ones.

Cherokee elect Sneed as chief Previously installed as chief in 2017 after predecessor’s removal

By David Larson North State Journal CHEROKEE — Richard Sneed was elected to a four-year term as the principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians on Sept. 5, a position he has held for the past two years after the previous chief, Patrick Lambert, was removed on corruption charges. Sneed defeated Teresa McCoy, an ally of the ousted Lambert, receiving 55% of the total vote.

“I came into office the worst possible way — following an impeachment,” Sneed told North State Journal in an interview. “Nobody wants to come into office this way; I can assure you.”

Sneed said he wanted to move on from what he called “a really dark time” for the tribe.

“It was the most divisive event that I know of that has ever happened in our tribe over the last 50-75 years.

But that’s one of the things I worked on when I came into office was to try to bring unity and stability.”

Sneed was born to a father who was a tribal member and a mother who was not. They divorced when he was young, and his mother raised See CHEROKEE, page A2

him in New Jersey, until he was 14, when he moved back to Cherokee to live with his father. He enlisted in the U.S. Marines after graduating high school, where he was a diesel mechanic from 19861990 while stationed in Japan.

Sneed is from a “military family,” saying his father, grandfather, brother sister and his wife are all veterans as well.

Upon returning to Cherokee after his time in the military, Sneed spent 12 years as the high school shop teacher, which is why many on the Qualla Boundary (the ECBI’s tribal land) call him “Teach” or “Coach.” He won awards for his teaching and was able to integrate financial literacy and life skills into his classes.

Although Sneed looks fondly on this time, and sometimes says he thinks he should have kept teaching, he thought tribal politics was deeply broken and was drawn to trying to improve it.

“One of the comments I heard over and over again was that this was the quietest election cycle ever. And I said, yeah, because one of my goals is to change the culture of tribal politics, which can get pretty nasty. The cornerstone of our campaign was really financial stability and progress.”

For financial stability, Sneed said he was able to eliminate $85 million in spending over 2 years “without cutting any jobs, services or programs.” He believes that in the past, the Cherokee relied too heavily on the federal government, and now, many of the tribe’s members are becoming reliant on casino revenue in a way that prevents them from developing their own careers and accomplishments.

“Generations grew up with a form of government, that, for lack of a better term, is a welfare state,” Sneed said. “Unfortunately, when you do that to a people, any people, and it’s not just tribal nations, the outcome is always the same. It’s learned helplessness. My goal over the last four years, and certainly for the last two as principal chief, has been to move away from that and to move towards empowering the individual, as opposed to the federal government model, which is paternalistic.”

One example of the tribe moving away from creating dependency in members was the move to distribute the trust fund in staggered payments, rather than all at once. In the past, once a tribal member turned 18, all the previous monthly payments that were set aside for them were delivered.

This could be around $100,000.

Now they split that up into three

Richard Sneed speaks at a press conference. Sneed was sworn in as the principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians for a four-year term on Sept. 5 in Cherokee, N.C. payments — $25,000 when they turn 18, $25,000 when they turn 21, then the balance of their trust fund when they turn 25.

Sneed said he saw the impact of the money when it was delivered in one lump sum, and it would negatively affect his students, who would often buy expensive cars and get lost in a world of parties and substance abuse.

Twice a year, in June and December, when the money is distributed, there would be a spike in drug overdoses and trafficking arrests.

“So the reason for the staggered distribution is I had students who ended up addicted; I had students who ended up in jail; I had students who ended up in prison; I had students who ended up dead. So enough is enough.

Who in their right mind hands an 18-year-old $100,000 cash?”

Sneed says the tribe is looking to diversify their economy locally, because at the moment they are very reliant on this casino revenue. A cultural shift on gaming is happening, and states, even more conservative Southern states, are beginning to loosen regulations on the industry.

“As the markets around us open up, and there are more and more gaming operations developed, that will certainly cut into our revenue stream, so we’ve got to be prepared for that. That’s a threat that we’re being proactive

in addressing.”

Plans the tribe are developing to diversify their local economy include an 85,000-square-foot convention space, some manufacturing jobs, more gaming, hotels and hospitality investments.

Sneed says much of this would be off the Qualla Boundary, potentially across the country.

“I would love for our young people, once they graduate and get a degree, to work in an industry or in a business that we own somewhere else in the country. That would be great. So, there’s potential there.”

The tribe pays 100% of all college costs for members all the way through a doctorate degree. He recommends they take advantage of this and then “spend some time in the real world” afterwards to learn about how life works without benefits like free healthcare, education, housing credits and business assistance. About half of the tribe’s 16,000 members already live off the boundary.

But even if the tribe moves out into the world, the tribal council is focused on preserving the Cherokee culture, worried things like language and customs, is slipping away.

Sneed said in their yearly joint meeting with the three federally-recognized Cherokee tribes (the ECBI in North Carolina and two others based in Oklahoma),

cess in the history of our state,” said Sen. Warren Daniel, a Burke County Republican and Senate redistricting panel co-chairman.

That sentiment was echoed by Sen. Dan Blue who said the maps were the result of the “most transparent redistricting process in history.”

But it was the judges who mandated transparency after evidence that the Republican’s now-deceased mapmaking consultant drew most of the 2017 districts several weeks before lawmakers met to discuss and vote on them.

That openness, the judges wrote, required “all map drawing to occur at public hearings, with any relevant computer screen visible to legislators and public observers.”

The redistricting committee meetings and desktop screens were livestreamed.

Even some Democratic senators critical of Republican redistricting this decade said during floor debate they were pleased with how the chamber reached consensus.

“Your decisions were defensible. You did appear to me to be acting in good faith and that’s remarkable ... and you deserve recognition for that,” said Sen. Jeff Jackson, a Mecklenburg County Democrat.

Although Jackson still voted against the Senate plan — citing longstanding support for creating an outside commission to draw maps — 13 of the chamber’s 21 Democrats voted yes.

Some public hearing speakers said the process was still hard to follow. Committee meetings last week sometimes were delayed for hours, and more public hearings were needed.

The judges said GOP mapmakers couldn’t use partisan data or past election results — a key indicator of electoral performance — in fashioning maps in the latest round of redistricting.

The committees instead decided to use districts created by an expert for plaintiffs who successfully sued over the 2017 lines as the basis for their work. The judges gave the dis-

they approved a resolution declaring a state of emergency with regards to the Cherokee language, which only 200 now speak fluently in N.C. Afterwards, the Eastern Band voted to establish a cultural division to preserve the language, arts and traditional ways of their people.

One custom that Sneed is particularly passionate about is “stickball.” He is quick to differentiate it from the street baseball sometimes also called stickball.

This centuries-old game, which the Cherokee called the “Little Brother of War,” is the precursor to Lacrosse, and involves a shoeless, shirtless struggle that often leads to injuries as players tackle one another for the ball.

Sneed actually broke his foot the week after the election while playing an exhibition game at UNC Asheville.

“My injury was a pretty typical injury. It’s just a hazard of the game. People used to die playing it, but it was used to prevent larger wars between tribes. Games would go on for days.”

One of his former students, who Sneed says is a “big ol’ boy” now at 23 years old and probably 6’2’’ 275 pounds, delivered the blow that caused the injury.

“He didn’t feel bad, are you kidding? His dad did message me later, but that’s part of the game.

That’s what happens.”

trict maps from University of Michigan professor Jowei Chen great weight in their ruling.

Some Democrats said Chen’s maps were never created to be used as actual districts. And some of Monday’s speakers said they were tainted when House and Senate members agreed to tweak them to ensure pairs of current incumbents aren’t living in the same districts. That would require them to run against each other in the 2020 elections.

The judges said incumbency protection could be considered if drawing the maps. Renee Sekel of Cary told lawmakers they were still violating the spirit of the judges’ directive. She also noted that the incumbents were elected under maps found to be unlawful this decade.

“You’re choosing to protect incumbents who court after court after court has told you are not illegally elected,” Sekel said. “You need to stop it. That’s as simple as it can be.”

Other hearing participants tried to pitch last-minute changes to House districts. Some complained that the cities of High Point and Concord were split between districts. Several Columbus County leaders and residents asked to reverse changes to a district that crosses into Robeson County.

House Republicans have said it’s possible the map approved by the chamber last Friday could be altered in the Senate.

The enacted plans will be forwarded to the three-judge panel, which has chosen a third-party expert to review the districts and redraw them if the judges believe the replacement maps don’t meet their standards. The final maps would be used next year only, because the next round of redistricting begins in 2021.

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Eden), in a statement, said the process used by the General Assembly “could be used as a national model.” Berger added, “Every effort has been made to create fair, nonpartisan, and court-compliant districts. We urge the court to accept these districts so we can finally put this long battle behind us.”

Biden, other hopefuls set for down-home Southern politics

By Meg Kinnard The Associated Press GALIVANTS FERRY, S.C. — Four Democratic presidential candidates are descending on South Carolina for what organizers call the oldest traditional campaign speech event in the country, taking an opportunity to continue to make their cases ahead of the first Southern vote of 2020.

On Monday, Joe Biden, Bill de Blasio, Pete Buttigieg and Amy

Klobuchar are scheduled to speak at the Galivants Ferry Stump, a biennial Democratic event that takes place in a rural portion of northeastern South Carolina.

One by one, they will speak to an expected crowd of thousands gathered in the unincorporated community of Galivants Ferry along the banks of the Little Pee Dee River.

The event dates back to the 1870s, when former Civil War Gen. Wade Hampton arrived

in Galivants Ferry as part of his campaign for South Carolina governor. Area businessman Joseph Holliday began to invite Democratic candidates to give campaign speeches from his Galivants Ferry store, standing on a tree stump to be seen above the crowd.

A tradition was born, and the Holliday family has continued to host the stump every other year preceding an election. The gathering is like a scene out of the

South of days gone by, with politicians glad-handing and visiting over the strains of music, clog dancing and the aroma of chicken bog, a Lowcountry dish of chicken, sausage and rice.

These days, candidates speak not from the original pine stump but from the porch of the Hollidays’ store, which has been recognized as a “Local Legacy” by the Library of Congress.

A common stop for South Carolina’s Democrats, this year’s event is the first organized specifically for presidential hopefuls.

One of them, Biden, has been here before, introduced to speak at the 2006 event by longtime friend and Senate colleague Fritz Hollings as Biden considered a 2008 presidential bid. This year, Biden was the first confirmed attendee.

A3 Republicans are always invited to attend the stump but aren’t allowed to speak.

Democratic White House hopefuls have been flooding South Carolina for nearly a year, taking opportunities to get to know and campaign to the state’s heavily African American electorate, which plays a key role in its firstin-the-South primary and reflects those in other Southern states that follow quickly on the nominating calendar, offering candidates a proving ground to test their message. The stump meeting draws thousands of attendees from across the state, but Horry County, in which Galivants Ferry sits, is more than 80% white.

This year’s master of ceremonies is longtime state lawmaker John Land.

Constitutional law non-profit returns

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — The North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law (NCICL) announced its return earlier this month, promising a “laser-like focus on educating the public” about the limiting principals of the North Carolina Constitution and holding elected officials accountable to their oaths of office.

“It is important to have an organization with laser-like focus to promote liberty by encouraging a limited and transparent government and promoting free enterprise through a greater understanding of the North Carolina Constitution,” Jeanette Doran, president and general counsel of NCICL, said in a press release.

In a show of support, former N.C. Supreme Court Justices Bob Edmunds and Bob Hunter both

BUDGET from page A1 remarks, Butler told North State Journal that she had been referring to the redistricting committee, adding that committee is “comprised of a majority of Republicans.”

Butler said that the attention paid to her remarks about redrawing maps was a sign of “desperation” and “is the perfect example of gaslighting.”

“Those are the jokers who have been proven to have drawn illegally gerrymandered voting districts and they would dare point a finger at me?” said Butler. “That is just laughable.”

Democrats also accused Speak-

joined Doran at a re-launch event that was held on Sept. 12 in Raleigh.

The group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that relies on voluntary contributions from individuals, corporations, and charitable foundations for funding and is not affiliated with any government entity.

Doran told North State Journal that when the organization went dormant several years ago, it was because the board had decided to “step back” in order to determine the best way NCICL could work to make sure that state and local governments were “adhering to their constitutional limitations.”

“We’re going to focus on three principle subject areas – election law and redistricting, regulatory reform and education law,” said Doran about the current direction for NCICL, which also includes lit-

er Moore of pre-planning the override vote, which Moore dismissed, noting that there were not enough Republicans to hold a majority on the floor.

Some General Assembly watchers, including former Representatives, have theorized that if some of the Democrats walked out on the override vote, the chamber would have been deprived of a quorum.

“We lost that vote because we didn’t know the rules,” Rep. Billy Richardson (D-Cumberland) said in an interview on 640 AM WFNC. Richardson was among the Democrats absent from the floor on Sept. 11.

An attempt to recall the over-

igation.

“I’m an attorney, and we would have resources to litigate either inhouse or retain outside counsel,” said Doran.

Doran said that the organization wants to work collaboratively with state and local government officials, as well as legislators and policy makers to address potential constitutional violations before they happen.

When it comes to education law, Doran said the group would be investing the its resources into preserving education law reforms from the last several years “There are people who would put those reforms in a shredder if given the opportunity, but we’re not going to let that happen,” said Doran.

Regulatory reform and the separation of powers is also high on the NCICL list.

“Executive branch agencies can only promulgate rules and regulations to the extent that they have statutory authorities to do that,” Doran said. “Right now, we don’t have enough people paying attention to whether or not there is statutory authority.”

Doran said that in addition to education law and regulatory re-

ride vote from the Senate was made, but the motion failed.

“I think the Dems wanted another bite at the apple on a rollcall vote. It would have taken 6 R’s to vote with them to pass the motion,” said Gerry Cohen, former general counsel at the General Assembly.

Had the recall attempt been successful, the next step would have been to reconsider the bill back on the House floor. House rules on the Motion to Reconsider state that “only a member of the prevailing side may move for reconsideration.” None of the Democrats had voted for the override, so a reconsideration likely would have gone nowhere.

Within hours of the override, national media outlets were reporting that Republicans had used 9/11 to advance the override.

The Washington Post article cited Governor Cooper, who said he and “House members” been attending a 9/11 event when the override happened.

Only one House member has been confirmed to have attended such an event.

The Governor’s office has not responded to requests by North State Journal to furnish a list of those who attended the 9/11 service with the Governor.

The state Senate has not yet calendared the budget bill for a potential veto override.

“We’re going to focus on three principle subject areas — election law and redistricting, regulatory reform and education law,” said Doran about the current direction for NCICL, which also includes litigation.”

Jeanette Doran, president and general counsel of NCICL

form, the group will respond to other unique situations. Doran said statements by Rep. Deb Butler (D-New Hanover) were an example of an event the group would respond to. Butler said during the House veto override session that, “We’re downstairs right now trying to redraw partisan-heavy voting maps.”

The organization has already filed records requests related to Butler’s floor comments and Doran indicated that she has asked for maps as well as “communications, data and any work product related to the redistricting they are undertaking.” Doran said that those requests were sent to Rep. Darren Jackson (D-Wake) and Butler.

“They’ve claimed they don’t have the maps,” said Doran. “I have been told that Darren Jackson insists they don’t even have map making software and couldn’t draw maps.

I don’t know, maybe they are running around the basement of the legislative building with a box of crayons, but she was crystal clear in her statement.”

“I think the Dems wanted another bite at the apple on a rollcall vote. It would have taken 6 R’s to vote with them to pass the motion.”

Small earthquake reported in western North Carolina Swain County The U.S. Geological Survey0 says there was 25 a small earthquake in western North Carolina last week.

The agency said the 2.5-magnitude quake occurred outside of Cherokee. Media outlets said there were no reports of damage or that anyone was hurt.

USGS says that people living in the region have felt small earthquakes since at least 1776. Moderately damaging earthquakes strike every few decades with smaller tremors occurring every year or two.

Lawsuit: Zaxby’s worker fired for reporting sex harassment

Bias lawsuit filed against Hillsboroughbased adult store chain Orange 100County 150 The Adam & Eve adult sex toy and accessories retail chain has been sued on allegations that job applicants are denied sales jobs at stores because Printed by the NC General Assembly, September 13, 2019 they are men. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the lawsuit last week on behalf of Christopher Kilby, alleging discrimination against male applicants at North Carolina and South Carolina stores. Kilby sought sales positions in Raleigh and Clayton, but workers told him men are hired only for receiving and unpacking positions.

Guilford County The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is200 suing a North Carolina Zaxby’s franchise after Milessays she was fired for reporting sexual a worker harassment by the franchise’s general manager. The woman began working at the Greensboro restaurant in November 2018 and the general manager soon allegedly began making sexually inappropriate comments on a near-daily basis and requests to “perform various sexual acts.” The lawsuit says the manager invited the woman for an expense-paid night at a hotel to have sex in December 2018 and requested she wear fishnet stockings.

Buncombe County Authorities say a civilian car chase between two men involved a shooting and ended when one of the drivers crashed into an Asheville home, narrowly missing the people inside. The male drivers were treated for minor injuries. Police say a preliminary investigation indicates that the drivers knew each other and got into a dispute that led to the chase.

The pursuing driver shot at the fleeing driver, striking him in the leg. The pursuing driver then rear-ended the fleeing car, sending it into the home.

Judge’s harsh words for dogfighting defendants prompt appeals Onslow County The judge didn’t mince words when it came time to sentence five Onslow County men in an illegal dogfighting operation that involved more than 150 pit bulls, calling the defendants mentally ill, barbaric and cruel. “There’s something wrong with you,” he said. The men are now using the judge’s words to appeal their sentences, arguing that he should have taken himself off the case because of his “deepseated antagonism” toward people who engage in dogfighting. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments this week.

Catawba County A Hickory man has been charged in a shooting by his child who kicked his gun holster and wounded the child’s mother. A-Duan Namon Walker, 23, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in the Sept. 5 shooting at Valley Hills Mall in Hickory. The child kicked the holster while being picked up by Walker, shooting the woman in both feet with a single bullet. The shooting was apparently accidental and the woman was treated.

Robeson County Authorities have found three bodies trapped in a car submerged in a Maxton pond. A Tuesday 911 call about underwater tail lights led authorities to check Maxton Pond. Lumberton Rescue and EMS Commander Robert Ivey says the vehicle ran off road, dropped 15 feet and struck part of a washedout dam before sinking below the water. Reports say the roadway had been washed out by Hurricane Florence. Authorities identified the three as 24-yearold Anastacia Delane Locklear, 26-year-old Tiffany Danielle Goines and 30-year-old Danielle Nicole Locklear.

RALEIGH — The non-partisan fiscal research division of the General Assembly released a revised revenue forecast last week projecting state tax collections would exceed predictions by $277 million over the next two budget years.

In the announcement, the fiscal research division said there was consensus on the forecast with the Office of State Budget and Management as the two agencies agreed to revise their forecasts upward for 2019 through 2021. In August the agencies said the state collected $896.6 million more than the budget. The prior forecasts from the two agencies had pegged the surplus at $643 million before the actual numbers came in.

Now, the Fiscal Research Division and Office of State Budget and Management are projecting the state will collect $167 million more in revenue than projected in 2019-2020 and $110 million more in 2020-2021.

“The North Carolina House remains committed to growing our economy with smart fiscal policies that provide tax relief, responsible spending, and revenue surpluses to grow our rainy day reserves and fund critical needs

like pay raises and disaster relief,” said House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Kings Mountain). “It is essential that North Carolina stay on the right track and not return to the old days of rising tax rates, budget deficits, and debt. Our state is poised for unique success in the next decade if we maintain policies that work for the workforce, families, and businesses.”

The nearly 2018-19 budget surplus resulted from better than expected growth in individual income and sales taxes. Collections from other state revenue sources were in line with previous forecasts.

Following the announcement of the nearly $900 million in additional revenue, Moore and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Eden) announced a plan to return some of the surplus to taxpayers. “Tax revenues don’t belong to the government, they belong to the people who earned it,” said Berger. “We collected more money than was needed, so we’re giving it back.”

The Senate passed House Bill 74, the Taxpayer Refund Act, on August 27 and it is now in the House Finance Committee awaiting a hearing. It passed the Senate 30-16 with four Democrats joining the GOP in advancing the bill out of the chamber.

RALEIGH — A North Carolina budget veto has slowed state government for months, so lawmakers have sent Gov. Roy Cooper more stand-alone legislation containing popular provisions from that spending plan.

Cooper now has four spending bills on his desk that address school and prison safety, disaster relief and testing sexual assault evidence kits. All received unanimous support. The school and rape

kit bills got final legislative approval with House votes late Monday.

Republican legislators have described these “mini-budgets” as a way to unlock spending for initiatives stuck since Cooper vetoed the two-year budget in June. The Democratic governor signed four other state employee pay bills in August.

More bills may be unnecessary if the Senate soon overrides the budget veto.

The House overrode it last week in a vote that surprised Democrats.

Wayne County Police say a 9-year-old has died after drowning in a retention pond near his home. The Goldsboro Police Department said Monday that Jaylen Suggs went under water and didn’t come back to the surface over the weekend. Emergency officials responded and pulled the boy out of the water. Investigators say he was airlifted to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition, but later died from his injuries.

Dare County A 23-year-old Columbia University student was fatally struck by lightning while swimming off the coast. The police department of Kitty Hawk said Matt Summerill, of Northern Virginia, was hit by lightning late last month. It’s unclear exactly when he died. A medical examiner’s office recently released his cause of death, which is listed as complications from drowning due to collapsing into the ocean after being hit by lightning.

Other perfidious ‘assaults on democracy’

Until 2011, those receiving the short end of the stick since Reconstruction were Republican legislators in the North Carolina General Assembly.

CRITICS AND DEMOCRATS claim Republican leaders in the North Carolina General Assembly “assaulted democracy” when they called for two legislative veto override votes early last Wednesday morning when only 64 of the 120 House members were there to vote.

Fifty-five Republicans and nine Democrats were present on the floor. Sixty-one legislators had to be present to constitute a quorum.

The Republicans won 55-9. They overrode two of Gov. Roy Cooper’s vetoes by a three-fifths majority: the budget and funds for the Medicaid transformation process now underway in the state.

The Senate has to consider both veto overrides before they can become law.

The only people who are not shocked or surprised by any news about legislative maneuvers that appear to be “underhanded” or “dishonest” are legislators or staff who have been on the receiving end of such “attempts to destroy democracy” in the past.

The main difference is that they usually happen in the dead of night, not in broad daylight for everyone to see.

Until 2011, those receiving the short end of the stick since Reconstruction were Republican legislators in the North Carolina General Assembly.

In 2005, there had been a long and contentious battle over the state lottery in North Carolina ostensibly to help provide more funds for public education in the state. The vote was close but kept falling short of the majority needed to pass the N.C. Senate which blocked passage since the House was in solid Democratic control at the time.

On Aug. 30, in the dead end of the summer, two Republican senators were on excused absences which created the opportunity for a 24-24 tie in the Senate. Democrat Senate leaders Tony Rand and Marc Basnight called senators back to Raleigh because they could count and a 24-24 tie would mean Democratic Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue could cast the deciding vote for the lottery and send it to the House and then to Democratic Gov. Mike Easley for his signature.

Was that “fair” or “foul” play back then? Or was that a shrewd use of parliamentary procedure that everyone knows about once they are sworn in?

The mother of all legislative shenanigans though took place in

Congress on Oct. 30, 1987, one week after the largest percentage oneday stock market crash since the Great Depression.

Members of Congress were terrified that they had contributed to the crash by spending too much money, built up too much national debt and needed to at least try to balance the budget. The Democraticdominated House was considering a $23 billion deficit-reduction package that included $12 billion in tax hikes that 48 Southern Democrats did not want in the bill.

The first attempt failed by a single vote, 205-206. Normally, a bill would have to “layover” for at least one legislative day before reconsideration, but Speaker Jim Wright of Texas was livid and didn’t want to wait until Oct. 31, so he started twisting arms on the floor right away.

Not only did he twist arms, but he also moved heaven, earth and Father Time forward. The Democratic leadership formally adjourned the House to end calendar day Oct. 30 “officially” around noon. They then passed a resolution declaring that a new day had begun so they could “start” the next legislative day that same afternoon, Oct. 30, at 3 p.m. complete with a new “morning” prayer.

It “magically” passed by one vote, 206-205. Fellow Texan and freshman Democrat Congressman Jim Chapman changed his vote from “Nay” to “Aye” to provide Speaker Wright his “assault on democracy” victory, as Republicans and many in the press saw it then.

We were in 401 Cannon House Office Building. The next day, we noticed a lot of painting and refurbishing going on across the hall in a spare storage room.

One week later, three of Jim Chapman’s staff moved into their new “ancillary office.”

Congressman Chapman got a new office space for his staff for changing his vote to raise $12 billion in taxes.

Were these assaults on democracy? You decide for yourself.

The post-election hot takes on NC’s 9th Congressional District race have been … interesting

Instead of a McCready win signaling dark days ahead for Republicans in competitive House districts throughout the country, a Bishop win signaled ‘warning signs for both parties,’ according to one popular liberal website.

IF YOU PAID ATTENTION to the political media in advance of last Tuesday’s 9th Congressional District special election, you might have gotten the impression Democrat Dan McCready was going to win it.

Everyone was predicting it would be a close race, to be sure. After all, the district had been in Republican hands since the mid-’60s.

But McCready, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran, was going to defy the odds. He was playing it safe by going the moderate route instead of fully embracing Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and self-described democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

He had the money advantage. He had the advantage of campaigning in the district for more than two years.

Anti-Trump editorial boards at major North Carolina newspapers were in his corner. And Democrats were madder than wet hens over the tainted results of the November 2018 race.

The race was considered a 2020 bellwether. A McCready win would mean that for incumbent Congressional Republicans, the writing was on the wall for 2020. In other words: either distance yourself from Trump or start packing your bags.

But in spite of all the momentum being in McCready’s corner, a funny thing happened. Republican state Sen. Dan Bishop, who had just a few months to campaign for the seat in contrast to McCready, won the special election by 2 percentage points.

It happened the day after President Trump campaigned for him in Fayetteville.

Bishop even flipped two counties that had previously gone to McCready in 2018 and wasn’t far off from flipping a third.

Suddenly, the 9th Congressional District special election was no longer a bellwether. Political analysts shifted gears.

Instead of a McCready win signaling dark days ahead for Republicans in competitive House districts throughout the country, a Bishop win signaled “warning signs for both parties,” according to one popular liberal website.

Per the New York Times, “Mr. Bishop’s narrow victory over Dan

McCready in a conservative district demonstrated warning signs for President Trump in 2020.”

Perhaps the best post-election hot take of all came from Pelosi herself, just two days after Bishop’s win. McCready “won the campaign. He didn’t win the election, but he won the campaign,” she stated.

It was a take failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, who has refused to concede her 2018 election loss to Republican Brian Kemp, would surely appreciate.

Does last Tuesday’s race mean Congressional Republicans are going to have it easy in next year’s elections? Of course not.

Every race is unique and carries with it its own special challenges.

Whether it’s a swing district, a so-called “safe seat,” or even a seat they feel is an extreme long shot, Republicans who want to win still must fight for every vote.

To do that, they must knock on every door. Shake every hand. Campaign like they are 20 points down, even if polling shows them 20 points ahead.

They should also attempt to make inroads with and work to win over voters who otherwise would not be inclined to vote for them. Grow the party and the base.

With all of that said, one thing that unites Democrats and Republicans alike in the aftermath of last Tuesday’s special election is the welcome knowledge that for a few months at least we will no longer be inundated with political ads about Congressional races.

Why only for a few months? Because Bishop won the last undecided race of the 2018 election cycle. Filing in North Carolina for the 2020 races starts in December.

So we’ll get to do all of this all over again very soon. The cast of characters for the next go-round will be determined at a later date.

Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts.

NUMBER OF THE DAY | SCOTT RASMUSSEN

33% of voters believe the Constitution needs a major overhaul

THIRTY-THREE PERCENT (33%) of voters nationwide believe the U.S. Constitution needs a major overhaul. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 37% would like to see minor changes made while 30% don’t think any changes are required.

As on many issues these days, there is a huge generation gap. Among voters under 35, 48% believe the Constitution needs a major overhaul. Just 16% of senior citizens

agree.

If changes are made, 56% want further limits placed on the federal government.

Forty-four percent (44%) want changes that would make it easier for the government to get things done.

A majority of all age groups prefer changes that would place further limits on government power.

The U.S. Constitution was signed 232 years ago in Philadelphia.

You can’t have too many goals

Without goals we may go nowhere, or may go in the wrong direction, weaving, wasting time, getting lost.

MY GRANDSON LOVES basketball more than anything … well, except eating.

After watching him play basketball from about 5 years old, when points were not kept and the pace was furious, through the ranks to currently starting for his high school, I’ve collected a lot of pictures of basketball goals. Over the years, while walking around the neighborhood I’ve taken a picture of a little plastic goal right next to a 10-foot goal (brother rivalry), or a goal attached to the side of a house or garage. I’ve even stopped along the road to take a picture of an odd goal — a goal without a net, a rotted backboard, a goal nailed to a tree or telephone pole.

Goals come in many different conditions, anchored to many different sources, some functional and some not, some cared for and others clearly neglected.

After accumulating a collection of pictures, I decided to do a collage of basketball goals for my grandson.

It seemed right that a 16-by10 collage needed a motto or inscription. In my mind I started coming up with thoughts like, “You can’t have too many goals,” “Goals come in many shapes and sizes,” “You gotta have a goal to shoot for,” “How good are your goals?”, “We all need goals in our life,” and many other clichés and variations. The dictionary defines a goal as the target area in a sport, a successful shot at a goal, or an aim.

In life and business, a goal is a desired result you want to achieve and is typically broad and longterm. There are four different types of goals: stepping-stone goals, short-term goals, long-term goals and lifetime goals.

First consider what you want to achieve and then commit to it.

Set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timebound) goals that motivate you, and write them down to make them feel tangible. Then plan the steps you must take to realize your goal, and cross off each one as you work through them.

Back to my teenage grandson: I’d like to encourage him to set goals to guide his basketball and his life.

“Why do we need goals?” we ask.

The first answer that pops into my head is something I heard long ago:

PHOTO COURTESY OF JERRY BARKER

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”

Without goals we may go nowhere or may go in the wrong direction, weaving, wasting time, getting lost. We wander aimlessly, and for a teenager that can be dangerous. To avoid life’s potholes, pitfalls, roadblocks, cliffs and missed opportunities, goals are essential. They don’t have to be complicated, but you can’t beat being “smart,” directed and committed as you walk through life.

If life were as simple as a basketball game, we could get in shape, practice a little each day, get with our coach for instruction and motivation, join in with

like-minded teammates and hit the court. We’d know we’re not expected to hit every shot, make every pass perfect, or steal every opponent’s dribble or block every shot, but we’d also expect team and coaches to be on the same page, committed to each other giving our best effort, encouraging each other and enjoying the game.

We can’t have too many goals.

But we do want a good basketball goal — round and level — with a sturdy goalpost and backboard, a proper net and good dribbling surface. With the proper equipment, coaching, teammates and goals, we’ll be able to enjoy the game and enjoy life a little better.

Academic stupidity and brainwashing JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT colleges could not spout loonier ideas, we have a new one from American University. They hired a professor to teach other professors to grade students based on their “labor” rather than their writing ability. The professor that American University hired to teach that nonsense is Asao B. Inoue, who is a professor and associate dean in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at Arizona State University. He is also the director of the university’s writing center.

Inoue believes that a person’s writing ability should not be assessed, in order to promote “anti-racist” objectives. Inoue taught American University’s faculty members that their previous practices of grading writing promoted white language supremacy. Inoue thinks that students should be graded on the effort they put into a project.

The idea to bring such a professor to American University, where parents and students fork over $48,459 a year in tuition charges, could not have been something thought up by saner members of its academic community. Instead, it was probably the result of deep thinking by the university’s diversity and campus life officials. Inoue’s views are not simply extreme but possibly hostile to the academic mission of most universities.

Forgiving and ignoring a student’s writing ability would mostly affect black students. White students’ speaking and writing would be judged against the King’s English, defined as standard, pure or correct English grammar.

Professor Noam Chomsky, called the father of modern linguistics, formulated the generative theory of language.

According to his theory, the most basic form of language is a set of syntactic rules that is universal for all humans and that underlies the grammar of all human languages. We analyze and interpret our environment with words and sentences in a structured language. Oral and written language provides a set of rules that enables us to organize thoughts and construct logical meaning with our thoughts.

Not holding students accountable to proper grammar does a disservice to those students who overall show poor writing abilities. When or if these students graduate from college, they are not going to be evaluated in their careers by Inoue’s tailored standards.

They will be judged according to their objective abilities, and it probably follows that if they fail to meet those objective standards, the standards themselves will be labeled as racist.

There’s another very dangerous bit of academic nonsense happening, this time at the K-12 level of education.

One America News Network anchor interviewed Mary Clare Amselem, education specialist at the Heritage Foundation, about the California Department of Education’s proposed ethnic studies curriculum. The proposed ethnic studies curriculum would teach children that capitalism and father figures are racist.

The Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum also includes gross anti-Israel bias and teaches about a Palestinian-led anti-Israel initiative called Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. The curriculum also has students study issues of police brutality and asks teachers to find incidents of bias by police in their own communities.

According to an article by Shelby Talcott in The Stream, California’s proposed curriculum called for students to study lawmakers such as Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, both of whom have supported the BDS movement and have been accused of anti-Semitic rhetoric.

The proposed ethnic studies proposal has been removed from the California Department of Education website.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) said, “While I am relieved that California made the obvious decision to revisit this wholly misguided proposal, we need to know why and how a blatantly anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, factually inaccurate curriculum made its way through the ranks of California’s Department of Education.” He added, “This was not simply an oversight — the California Department of Education’s attempt to institutionalize anti-Semitism is not only discriminatory and intolerant, it’s dangerous.”

Brainwashing our youngsters is a serious matter. The people responsible for the California Department of Education’s proposal ought to be summarily fired.

NATION & WORLD Noise but no breakthrough as Johnson, Juncker talk Brexit

By Lorne Cook The Associated Press LUXEMBOURG — Boris Johnson was booed by protesters and berated by Luxembourg’s leader on a visit to the tiny nation Monday for his first face-to-face talks with European Union chief Jean-Claude Juncker about securing an elusive Brexit deal.

On a day of commotion and conflicting signals, Johnson pulled out of a news conference because of noisy anti-Brexit demonstrators, leaving Luxembourg’s prime minister standing alone next to an empty lectern as he addressed the media.

Still, Johnson insisted there was a strong chance of securing a divorce agreement before Britain is due to leave the 28-nation bloc in just over six weeks.

“Yes there is a good chance of a deal. Yes, I can see the shape of it,” Johnson asserted at a separate appearance before reporters at the British ambassador’s residence.

EU leaders were far more skeptical.

After a two-hour lunch meeting over fish and risotto in Juncker’s native Luxembourg, the European Commission said that Britain had yet to offer any “legally operational” solutions to the problem of keeping goods and people flowing freely across the Irish border, the main roadblock to a deal.

“Such proposals have not yet been made,” the Commission said in a statement, adding that officials “will remain available to work 24/7.”

Luxembourg Prime Minister

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, center right, speaks with the media as he shakes hands with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson prior to a meeting at a restaurant in Luxembourg, Monday, Sept. 16, 2019.

Xavier Bettel, who also met Johnson, said the British leader needed to “stop speaking and act.”

“We need more than just words,” he said. “We need a legally operable text to work on as soon as possible.”

Johnson says the U.K. will leave the EU on the scheduled date of Oct. 31 with or without a Brexit divorce deal. He hopes to strike a revised agreement with the bloc at an EU summit on Oct. 17-18, in time for an orderly departure. The agreement made by his predecessor, Theresa May, was rejected three times by Britain’s Parliament, prompting her to resign.

The key sticking point to a Brexit deal is the so-called “backstop,” an insurance policy in May’s

agreement intended to guarantee an open border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland. That is vital both to the local economy and to Northern Ireland’s peace process.

British Brexit supporters oppose the backstop because it keeps the U.K. bound to EU trade rules, limiting its ability to forge new free trade agreements around the world after Brexit.

Britain has suggested the backstop could be replaced by “alternative arrangements” — a mix of technology to replace border checks and a common area for agricultural products and animals covering the whole island of Ireland.

Despite the EU’s frustration

at the lack of detail, Juncker and Johnson agreed to ramp up the pace of talks, with EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier and U.K. Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay getting involved.

“Over the last couple of weeks there’s been a lot of work — papers have been shared — but we are now in the stage where we have to start really accelerating the work,” Johnson said. “That was the agreement today.”

Opponents fear Johnson — who helped lead the 2016 referendum campaign that ended in a vote to leave the EU — is heading full-speed toward a disruptive nodeal Brexit.

Many EU leaders suspect the same thing and Johnson has vowed to complete Brexit “do or die.” He compared himself and the U.K. to angry green superhero the Incredible Hulk, telling the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets, and he always escapes ... and that is the case for this country.”

A small but noisy crowd of anti-Brexit protesters booed and shouted “shame on Boris!” as Johnson arrived after lunch for a meeting with Bettel.

Johnson pulled out of a planned outdoor news conference, saying later that the pair would have been drowned out. Instead Bettel addressed reporters alone, next to an empty lectern, while Johnson issued his statement outside the British ambassador’s nearby residence.

The visibly frustrated Luxembourg leader said said Brexit had become a “nightmare,” and U.K. and European citizens face huge uncertainty.

“You can’t hold their future hostage for party political gains,” Bettel said.

“Now it’s on Mr. Johnson,” he added, gesturing at the empty lectern in front of a Union Jack flag.

“He holds the future of all U.K.

citizens and every EU citizen living in the U.K. in his hands.”

Monday’s meeting kicked off a tumultuous week for Johnson, with the Brexit deadline just 45 days away.

On Tuesday, Britain’s Supreme Court will consider whether Johnson’s decision to suspend the British Parliament for five weeks was lawful, after conflicting judgments in lower courts.

Johnson sent British lawmakers home until Oct. 14, a drastic move that gives him a respite from rebellious lawmakers determined to thwart his Brexit plan.

Last week, Scotland’s highest civil court ruled the move illegal because it had the intention of stymieing Parliament. The High Court in London, however, said it was not a matter for the courts.

If the Supreme Court overturns the suspension, lawmakers could be called back to Parliament as early as next week.

Many lawmakers fear a no-deal Brexit would be economically devastating, and are determined to stop the U.K. from crashing out of the bloc on Oct. 31.

Just before the suspension, Parliament passed a law ordering the government to seek a threemonth delay to Brexit if no agreement has been reached by late October.

Johnson reiterated Monday that he will not seek a delay under any circumstances, though it’s not clear how he can avoid it.

“I will uphold the constitution, I will obey the law but we will come out on October 31st,” Johnson told the BBC. EU leaders, meanwhile, are reluctant to delay Brexit any longer unless Britain radically changes course.

“An extension is only an option if it serves a purpose,” Bettel said.

“We will not grant another extension just for the sake of granting another extension.”

Taking his shot: Jordan, NBA owners, enter tequila business

By Jimmy Golen The Associated Press BOSTON — When Michael Jordan decided to get into the tequila business, he could have slapped his name on the label, maybe autographed a few bottles and sold out the whole run in hours.

No matter what it tasted like.

Instead, the basketball hall of famer and owner of the Charlotte Hornets teamed up with owners from the Celtics, Lakers and Bucks to create an ultra-premium blend of the agave liquor that has already won prizes at tasting competitions from New York to Los Angeles.

“It’s not about the ownership group. It’s not a celebrity-endorsed brand,” said Emilia Fazzalari, the CEO of Cincoro Tequila and the wife of Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck.

“It was never about that. For us, it has always been about the liquid first.”

The idea came about three years ago, when Jordan bonded over a love of tequila while having dinner with Grousbeck, Fazzalari, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens.

“We wanted this tequila that tasted great,” Fazzalari said in a telephone interview Monday. “We are competitors on the court. We stand across from each other and compete throughout the season. But we are collaborators by nature.”

The basketball magnates didn’t just write a check and then watch from afar.

Jordan was involved in the design of the bottle, working with Mark Smith, the vice president of innovation special projects at Nike. They came up with a five-sided crystal container — a reference to the five leaves of

the agave plant — that tilts up at a 23-degree angle — a nod to Jordan’s uniform number.

“Michael’s influence was really as a true tequila lover and a person who only does things right,” Grousbeck said.

Edens brought knowledge of supply chain logistics to the group. There were weekly conference calls, and meetings.

Together the partners tasted 1,000 different blends before settling on a flavor.

“All the partners are actively involved in the company, and we all have been from Day 1,” Fazzalari said. “They’re not silent partners.”

Cincoro is bottling four different tequilas, starting with the unaged Blanco that sells for $70. A limited edition Extra Añejo, aged 40-44 months, is listed at $1,600 and comes in a black crystal bottle that is inlaid with real gold.

According to Russ Pareti, Cincoro’s chief marketing officer, the tequila market is growing by 10% a year. But the ultra-luxury market is expanding by 40% annually.

“There’s really a large runway,” he said.

Fazzalari would not disclose specific sales or reveal production numbers, except to say they have sold out in some of the 12 U.S. markets they have launched in so far. They hope to be in all 50 states next year, and then take it to Asia and Europe, Grousbeck said.

Grousbeck said NBA owners have been known to go into business together before, on occasion investing in the same company or fund. But he could not recall a time where four or more teams have joined up on a project.

“It’s pretty rare,” he said. “But there is a good bond among team principals in general.”

Lawyers say leaks prosecution violates freedom of the press

By Matthew Barakat The Associated Press ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Lawyers for a former intelligence analyst charged with leaking classified documents about military campaigns to a reporter say the case should be dismissed because the law is being used to suppress freedom of the press.

Daniel Hale of Nashville, Tennessee, is charged in federal court in Alexandria under the World War I-era Espionage Act. That law makes it a crime to disclose national defense information to those not entitled to receive it.

Prosecutors say Hale provided a reporter with 11 top-secret or secret documents about the government’s use of drones against al-Qaeda and other targets. They include a secret memo outlining a military campaign against al-Qaeda overseas, a top-secret intelligence report on an al-Qaeda operative and a secret PowerPoint slide “outlining the effects of the military campaign targeting Al-Qaeda overseas,” according to the indictment against Hale.

In court papers filed Monday, Hale’s lawyers say the Espionage Act was intended to target spying.

Now though, the Espionage Act is “used regularly against those who

leak for no purpose other than informing their fellow citizens about their own government,” wrote defense lawyers Todd Richman, Cadence Mertz and Tor Ekeland.

Richman and Mertz are federal public defenders.

The Espionage Act was enacted in 1917. In their motion, defense lawyers say the legislative history of the act makes it clear that the law was never intended to prosecute journalists or whistleblowers, though it was used against Daniel Ellsberg in the Pentagon Papers case.

But the law’s wording has long concerned free-press advocates because of the potential that it could be used not just against whistleblowers who leak information but also against journalists who publish it.

Hale’s lawyers said in their brief that “it is indisputable that this prosecution treads closely to freedoms that are essential to a free and democratic society.”

The Eastern District of Virginia, where Hale is being prosecuted, has been a frequent forum for Espionage Act prosecutions against leakers or whistleblowers. Prosecutors in Alexandria also have indicted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under the Espionage Act.

The Assange prosecution charges him both with trying to help former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning obtain classified documents and with disclosing those documents by publishing them on the internet.

At a hearing Friday, Hale’s trial was postponed from December until March after lawyers and the judge concluded that dealing with a large volume of classified information may delay the case.

The criminal charges do not specifically identify the recipient of the classified information, but details in the indictment make clear that Jeremy Scahill, a founding editor of The Intercept, is the reporter who received them.

The indictment states that many of the classified documents were disclosed in an October 2015 news article. On Oct. 15, 2015, Scahill published an article on The Intercept titled “The Assassination Complex” that relies on “a cache of secret slides that provides a window into the inner workings of the U.S. military’s kill/capture operations at a key time in the evolution of the drone wars.”

Prosecutors will likely file their response to the motion in a few weeks. They declined comment Monday.

The two regular season games between Roy Williams’ Tar Heels and Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils will take place 27 days apart, the biggest gap since 2008.

Local basketball teams prepare for expanded ACC schedule League goes to 20 games, early start to season

By Shawn Krest North State Journal THE ACC released the first 20-game conference basketball schedule in league history last week.

The conference slate for each team was increased by two games, against the protests of many league coaches, to help provide content for the new ACC Network.

The network also necessitated an earlier-than-usual start to conference play this year. Every team will be in action before the traditional break for final exams in the second week of December.

Duke opens at Virginia Tech on Dec. 6, which is the earliest Duke has played a conference game since Virginia Tech joined the league, requiring a last-minute schedule revamp. The Blue Devils played the Hokies on Dec. 4, 2006.

The Blue Devils open a month later than the other 14 teams in the conference, who play each other on either Nov. 5 or 6, by far the earliest the ACC has gotten into the conference schedule.

The expanded schedule has also wreaked havoc with the traditional home/road games. Duke has a stretch of three straight games in eight days: at Syracuse, at Boston College, and at UNC from Feb. 1 to Feb. 8. It’s the first time since

Appalachian State’s trip to Chapel Hill gives first-year coach Eliah Drinkwitz an opportunity to face veteran Mack Brown

UNC and Duke have some separation between their two games, which have been drifting closer and closer together in recent years.

The 27 days between the games are the most since 2008 (31 days).

The two games were just 17 days

FOOTBALL COACHES ARE prone to exaggeration, especially when discussing the merits of an upcoming opponent. But in the case of North Carolina’s Mack Brown this week, his comments about Appalachian State might just be right on the money.

“When you start looking at App State, look at what their seniors accomplished the last few years.

It’s the best in our state,” Brown said Monday at his regular weekly press conference. “App State’s good enough they could be in the ACC. They’re that talented.”

The Mountaineers have compiled a 19-9 record with three Sun Belt Conference championships over the past three seasons. Even though they’ve transitioned from the leadership of Scott Satterfield to new coach Eliah Drinkwitz, they don’t appear to have missed a beat this year.

Their veteran offense is averaging 49 points per game in its first two outings — wins against East Tennessee State and Charlotte — and with a week off to prepare for their first trip to Kenan Stadium since 1940, the Mountaineers are poised to take advantage of this opportunity to raise their stature among the state’s seven FBS programs.

It’s an important game for App State on a number of levels, not the least of which is bragging rights on one of its highest-profile rivals. That’s why Drinkwitz is doing his best to try and dial down the hype surrounding it.

“This is a great game for us as far as a program and an opportunity to play an ACC opponent at their place, so obviously that’s a lot of fun,” the former NC State offensive coordinator said. “But at the end of the day, it’s one of 12 opportunities to play the game. For our team, our mindset, every day is as important as the next day and every game is as important as the next game.”

That might be the case in the context of the Mountaineers’ effort to win another Sun Belt title, but this game has implications far beyond things such as bowl bids, conference standings and potential votes in the national polls.

This is an opportunity for the little brother to get the best of his older, bigger and more respected older sibling.

The matchup has taken on even greater significance because of the Tar Heels’ early resurgence under Brown, their own new/old coach. Even with last Friday’s loss at Wake Forest, UNC is off to a better than expected start at 2-1 in Brown’s return to Chapel Hill, with wins against South Carolina and ACC Coastal foe Miami.

Charlotte getting biggest test ever in Clemson A trip to Death Valley to face the national champs awaits the 2-1 49ers

By Shawn Krest North State Journal FANS, OVERJOYED by upset wins, often call out the national champions with a chant of, “We want Clemson!”

Charlotte, who has opened the season 2-1 under new coach Will Healy, doesn’t need to chant.

The 49ers will be getting Clemson this weekend, whether they’re ready or not.

Since beginning its FBS program in 2015, Charlotte has had one game a season against a Power Five team to serve as a measuring stick.

For the most part, the yardstick has been more of a whipping stick.

The 49ers lost 58-10 on the road to a Kentucky team that finished 5-7 in 2015. The following year, Charlotte opened the season at Louisville, who would finish 9-4, losing 70-14.

A trip to Kansas State (8-5) in 2017 ended in a 55-7 loss. Last year was the closest Charlotte has come to pulling an upset, losing to 5-7 Tennessee, 14-3.

Needless to say, in all their trips to Power Five opponents, the 49ers haven’t seen anyone remotely close to what Clemson has in store for them.

Healy has been very complimentary of the Tigers, telling the media this week that, “If (Clemson coach Dabo Swinney) had a church, I’d be there every Sunday.”

It’s the first meeting between the two schools, and Clemson hasn’t been a very welcoming host to first-timers in recent years. The Tigers beat Kent State 56-3 in 2017 and Georgia Southern 38-7 last year. They’ve won five straight first-time meetings and 13 of 14 dating back to 2003.

Clemson is also the only team in the country to beat three Power Five opponents this season, with wins over Georgia Tech, Texas A&M and Syracuse.

The Tigers won those games by a combined 117-30, and Clemson coaches are trying to figure out what’s ailing the offense.

“We’re not a championship-caliber team right now,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney complained.

“The only way to be great is to wake up every morning looking for ways to improve and get better,” co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said. “It doesn’t matter what happened good or bad, we’ve got to improve.”

Despite his “slump,” Lawrence was named the ACC Quarterback of the Week for last Saturday’s performance, completing 22 of 39 passes for a career-high 395 yards and three touchdowns. He’s

Three weeks into the season, it’s time to evaluate the state’s football coaches had already begun by the time the new coach arrived from Austin Peay. The 49ers won five games and nearly earned bowl eligibility a year ago in Brad Lambert’s final season.

While the team will undoubtedly take a major step back this week when it becomes a sacrificial lamb to defending national champion Clemson, Charlotte has shown an ability to put up big offensive numbers that will help it be competitive once it returns to the safety of Conference USA competition.

Four of N.C.’s seven FBS schools have new coaches, and the other three have had varying results early in 2019

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal MOST SCHOOLS these days organize their academic calendars into three semesters. But when it comes to the 12-game college football regular season, it’s more convenient to evaluate progress using the old quarter system.

Believe it or not, with three games already in the books for most teams, the first quarter of that season has already come and gone.

While there’s still a long way to go before the final report cards are issued, here’s a look at the early progress reports for the state’s seven FBS coaches and what they need to do to improve (or in some cases maintain) their grades.

Mack Brown, UNC — A Yes, the Tar Heels came back down to earth last Friday with a 28-24 loss at Wake Forest. But that notwithstanding, UNC is in much better shape at 2-1 after three weeks — with wins against South Carolina and ACC — than anyone ever imagined. Including, perhaps, Brown himself.

The 68-year-old Hall of Famer has brought an optimistic new outlook to a program that had stagnated during the final two seasons of former coach Larry Fedora’s tenure. Not only has it energized the team’s fan base, but it has sparked a confidence that has already produced tangible results. Both of the wins have come on the strength of fourth quarter comebacks.

Dave Clawson, Wake Forest — A It’s hard to find fault with a coach whose team has gotten off to a 3-0 start. To this point, Clawson has pushed all the right buttons, starting with his decision to install junior Jamie Newman as his quarterback rather than equally experienced Sam Hart-

Dave Doeren, NC State — C

Coach Dave Clawson and Wake Forest are 3-0 after beating in-state rival North Carolina last weekend. man. Newman has proven to be a clutch leader and a dual-threat athlete who has led his offense to an average of 34.3 points per game.

Clawson’s recruiting over the past few seasons has also built a depth that has helped the Deacons overcome several early injuries — most notably to 1,000-yard rusher Cade Carney — without suffering any significant drop-off in production. Although Wake still has some issues defensively, it’s still vastly improved from the first half of last season, when Clawson shuffled his staff and turned the unit over to current coordinator Lyle Hemphill.

Eliah Drinkwitz, Appalachian State — A Unlike the two other first-year coaches in the state this year, Drinkwitz walked into an advantageous situation by taking over a program that has won nine or more games and at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference title in each of the past three seasons. His grade is based primarily on the fact that he’s been smart enough not to come in and make sweeping changes to a team that returns its conference Player of the Year quarterback, a 1,000yard rusher, it’s top two receivers and a major portion of its defense.

To this point, everything has gone according to plan for the Mountaineers with wins over two mismatched nonconference teams. They’ll get a better idea of how good they really are, and how good a job Drinkwitz is doing, after this week’s game at North Carolina.

Mike Houston, ECU — B The Pirates might only be 1-2 with lopsided losses to the only two FBS opponents they’ve faced thus far. But Houston has already managed to accomplish something with this team in his first year at ECU that his predecessor Scottie Montgomery couldn’t do in each of the past two seasons — beat an FCS opponent, and soundly.

It might only be a baby step since the only way Houston is going to truly change the culture of his program is through recruiting, but at least the 48-9 home opening win against Gardner-Webb in Week 2 is potentially a first step back in the right direction.

Will Healy, Charlotte — B Like Houston, Healy inherited a program needing to upgrade its level of talent and depth. But unlike ECU, the process at Charlotte

After beating up on two overmatched opponents to start the year, the Wolfpack got a major reality check last week at West Virginia in a game that, if you read between the lines, Doeren admitted that his team wasn’t fully prepared.

“We adjusted as we went and didn’t do a good job of getting the players to understand the adjustments,” he said afterward. Doeren also said that he and his staff gave first-year starting quarterback Matthew McKay too much responsibility by calling run-pass options in key situations and not doing a good enough job of getting his young players ready to play their first game on the road against Power 5 competition.

Doeren called the loss a learning experience for those players.

Presumably, it was one for the coaching staff as well.

David Cutcliffe — Incomplete It’s really hard to get a handle on how good a job Cutcliffe and his staff are doing to this point. The Blue Devils got beaten soundly in their season opener against national championship contender Alabama, as expected, then turned around and delivered equally sound beatings on FCS foe NC A&T and mid-major Middle Tennessee, also as expected.

We’ll be able to better evaluate just how well Cutcliffe is bringing his team along after this week’s bye when it begins a stretch of four straight ACC Coastal games and a date against Notre Dame in early November.

also rushed for a touchdown in all three games this year.

Charlotte’s offense has been hitting on all cylinders. The 49ers scored a school-record 52 points in a win over UMass last week. For the year, Charlotte is averaging 47 points per game and has topped 40 in all three games for the first time in school history.

The 35-point win was Charlotte’s largest margin of victory in school history. The 49ers currently rank 14th in FBS in scoring offense.

Charlotte has also put up at least 500 yards of offense and had a rushing touchdown of 50 yards or longer in all three games. The 49ers are seventh in the nation in rushing offense.

Quarterback Chase Reynolds, who had to defend his starting job in a preseason quarterback competition, is among national leaders in completion percentage (69.8%), touchdown passes (7) and passer rating (178.4).

Reynolds and the 49ers will find the going significantly tougher in Death Valley than it was against Gardner-Webb, App State and UMass.

The Tigers have dominated the line of scrimmage the last two years, leading the nation in sack differential with 68 sacks on defense compared to just 19 allowed.

Clemson had eight sacks and 15 tackles for loss at Syracuse last week and has had multiple sacks in 11 straight games.

The Tigers have had an interception in seven straight games, and since the 2018 postseason began with the ACC Championship Game, Clemson has outscored opponents 76-7 in points off turnovers.

Despite the numbers heralding a blowout, the Charlotte players are ready to get measured against the champs. While they’re not chanting, “We want Clemson,” they have been trying to use “shock the world” as a rallying cry.

“I’d rather they tell that to me,” Healy said. “Not you.”

APP STATE from page B1 there’s still plenty of familiarity between the programs.

Drinkwitz, in particular, should have a thorough knowledge of UNC’s personnel from having game-planned against them — and beaten them — in all three of his seasons with the Wolfpack.

“I don’t know if that helps any. I just have a great respect for the players they have,” Drinkwitz said. “They played us as tough as anybody last year, took us to overtime.

“But obviously they’ve got a new energy, a new scheme and they’re using those players in a lot of different ways. ... I don’t know if it helps other than to understand how good of football players they are and exactly how big of a challenge it is for us to go play and compete against them.”

One thing the Mountaineers have going for them is that they’re coming off an open date that has given them an extra week to prepare for the Tar Heels.

“Anytime you get a chance to practice, you get a leg up,” Drinkwitz said. “You get to repeat some days, so we had the base game plan in Thursday and we were able to take (UNC’s) Friday night game, digest it on Saturday and finalize some game plan stuff for yesterday’s practice. And you feel like you’ve got extra rep.

“Ultimately, Saturday will be a tell in whether or not it paid off for us. But I felt good about it. It was good. Our guys had great attitudes and it was enjoyable to be on the football field.”

App State will also get a boost from the return of star wide receiver Corey Sutton, who led the Sun Belt with 10 touchdown catches a year ago.

Sutton has been suspended for the first two games after his arrest for marijuana possession this summer.

His presence on the field will give the Mountaineers’ yet another offensive weapon for the Tar Heels to try and stop, along with quarterback Zac Thomas, last year’s Sun Belt Player of the Year, and 1,000-yard rusher Darrynton Evans.

“I think we’ll see this weekend how much we learned from last weekend,” UNC’s Brown said. “Appalachian State’s got really good players that are going to come in with high energy.”

Newton’s prognosis uncertain after aggravating foot injury Beleaguered coach Ron Rivera faces future without former MVP

By Shawn Krest North State Journal CHARLOTTE — Bad? Meet worse.

The Carolina Panthers are off to an 0-2 start for the first time since 2013 and have lost their first two home games for the first time since the 2-14 debacle in 2010 that “earned” them the first overall pick, which Carolina used on Cam Newton.

The back-to-back losses have put the Panthers in last place in the NFC South.

While both losses were close — three points to the Rams and six to Tampa Bay — there were concerns over Newton’s play. The quarterback was off the mark at times, and on a fourth-and-1 goal-line play that could have decided the Tampa game, Newton didn’t even touch the ball, which went to Christian McCaffrey on a direct snap.

That raised concerns that Newton, who had offseason shoulder surgery and battled a sore foot in training camp, which limited his time to a few series in one preseason game, isn’t at 100 percent full health.

Coach Ron Rivera brushed off questions about his quarterback’s health, saying after the game that Newton’s shoulder and foot had nothing to do with his performance or Rivera’s decision at the goal line.

“Don’t worry about the foot,” Rivera said at one point. “The foot has nothing to do with it.”

Much like his two ill-fated replay challenges in the game, Rivera was off the mark on his assessment of Newton’s health.

Concern over “the foot” was more than merited.

The former MVP missed practice on Tuesday, and GM Marty Hurney told the media that New-

ton had informed the team after Thursday’s game that he had aggravated the foot injury.

“The first I heard anything about his foot bothering him was after the game,” Rivera said — presumably after he denied there was a foot problem in his postgame press conference.

There’s currently no timeline for Newton’s recovery, with Hurney saying only, “We’ll see how it goes.”

“I have no idea,” Rivera said when asked if Newton would be ready by Sunday. “Nobody will know better than him.”

That leaves the Panthers with limited options should Newton not be able to go in Sunday’s game at Arizona.

The team would likely start Kyle Allen, who won the backup job in training camp. Allen started last season’s final game, going 16-for-27 for 228 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Saints.

Will Grier, the West Virginia quarterback the team drafted in the third round in April, would be the backup. Grier struggled in the preseason, completing just 55.7 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s been inactive in each of the first two games.

Should Newton be out for significantly longer, the team would likely make a roster move to try to shore up the position.

The least invasive solution would be to bring back Taylor Heinicke, who spent most of last season as Newton’s backup, stepping in to throw Hail Mary passes prior to halftime to relieve stress on Newton’s shoulder.

Heinicke started the team’s 15th game last year, going 33-for53 for 274 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

He was cut after going 19 of 31 for 202 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the preseason.

Rivera admitted that going with Allen long-term would impact the team’s outlook going for-

apart last season.

UNC and Duke also play both games on Saturdays, the first time they’ve both been on weekend days since 1990-91.

Another scheduling quirk that always gets coaches hot under the collar is Big Monday — the madefor-ESPN prime time conference games on Monday evening, which gives teams one full day off, after playing on Saturday.

Duke has two Big Monday games, both of which will be tough tasks. The Blue Devils host Florida State on Feb. 10, two days after playing North Carolina on Saturday — likely in prime time — and ending their three-game road trip. Duke also gets a home game against the Wolfpack on March 2, two days after traveling to national champion Virginia.

NC State likely won’t feel much sympathy for Duke’s plight.

The Pack has three Big Monday games, one of just three teams with as many (UNC and FSU are the others). State plays at Virginia, at Duke and home against UNC. The Heels have a gripe of their own with three Big Monday road games — at State, Florida State and Notre Dame.

Wake Forest won’t appear on Big Monday this year, and, despite winning the national championship, Virginia only gets one appearance in the ESPN showcase game.

Reacquainted NC State plays all three Big Four opponents home-and-home for the first time since 2015-16.

The Pack plays its second conference game — on Dec. 6 — at Wake Forest, then closes the regular season home against the Deacs.

The other two in-state rivals come to Raleigh first — UNC on Jan. 27 and Duke on Feb. 19 — before hosting the Pack. State goes to UNC on Feb. 25, Duke on March 2.

Staying close to home Wake Forest gets three home games in a row Feb. 19-29, hosting Georgia Tech, Duke and Notre Dame. The Deacs then close the regular season with trips to North Carolina and NC State. With the ACC Tournament in Greensboro this year, that means Wake Forest won’t leave the state of North Carolina for at least six straight games — possibly more, if they advance in the tournament.

The foot has nothing to do with it.”

ward.

“It changes things dramatically if we end up going with Kyle for a while, yes,” he said.

There are veteran options available for the team if the Panthers don’t want to lower expectations. Colin Kaepernick, allegedly blackballed from the NFL for kneeling during the anthem, is available. Panthers owner David Tepper wasn’t shy about signing safety Eric Reid, also allegedly shut out of a job for the same reason, when the team had a need last year.

Reid told the media that Kaepernick was “waiting by the phone,” but the team has not yet talked to him about the possibility of adding him.

Another option would be Eli Manning, the Giants franchise quarterback who just lost his starting job to rookie Daniel Jones. The Panthers could likely swing a deal with former general manager and current Giants GM Dave Gettleman to send draft picks to New York and bring the veteran in.

Rivera downplayed talk of finding a veteran from outside.

“I don’t think so,” he said. “The guys we have here, we brought them here for a reason.”

Of course, reasons change along with the fortunes of the team. Plus, Rivera also said “it’s not the foot” less than five days ago.

“It’s the foot,” he admitted. “All I can say is his foot’s sore.”

RALEIGH — They say life comes at you fast and for Hurricanes’ 20-year-old forward Martin Necas, that certainly seems to be the case.

Necas lost an edge during Monday’s practice and crashed into the boards, briefly going to the locker room with a sore hip before returning to the ice. The former first round pick seems to hit the ice more than the average player. He even celebrated his first — and, thus far, only — NHL goal last season from his stomach after one-timing a shot past Tampa Bay goalie Louis Dominque.

Necas’ quick feet — his ability to start and stop, quickly accelerate and change directions without slowing — often leave defenders scrambling to keep their skates under them. Even Necas himself sometimes has a hard time keeping up with his legs.

“I guess when you skate really fast you have a tendency to fall more, maybe that’s it,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said following Monday’s two practice sessions.

Many NHL teams have looked at the formula that helped the Bruins and Blues to reach the Stanley Cup Final and tried to copy their blueprint: heavy but skilled players who can withstand the grind of a long season and battle through the tougher checking of the postseason.

The Hurricanes, a team already built on speed, got faster.

Necas is certainly a part of that. The 12th overall pick in 2017, Necas seemed overwhelmed at the start of his first year in North America. He made the Hurricanes out of training camp last season, but after seven games he was assigned to the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers.

The 6-foot-2, 189-pound Czech native adjusted to the smaller rinks and more physical style of play, scoring 16 goals and totaling 52 points for the Checkers in 64 games. He then helped the team to the Calder Cup title, totaling five goals and eight assists in 18 playoff games.

Spending a year in the AHL — like Eric Staal did during the 2005-06 lockout —should give Necas a better chance at making an impact this season. Staal, who had 11 goals and 31 points in his first NHL season in 200304, was a point-per-game player in his one year in the AHL during the lost NHL season. He returned to the Hurricanes in 2005 and led the team with a 100-point regular season and helped Carolina to its only Stanley Cup.

“You can have a lot of guys that fly around, but if the puck’s not moving and you’re not in the right place, it doesn’t work. On the flip side, you don’t necessarily have to have a bunch of fast skaters to play fast.”

Rod Brind’Amour, Hurricanes coach

Those are lofty benchmarks to set for Necas, but a year in the minors should serve the team’s top prospect well.

“He’s certainly more mature than he was last year on the ice, and off the ice he’s physically more mature. But again, we’ll see how it all comes together when he starts playing for real.”

Adding Necas to the mix this season isn’t the only influx of speed to an already swift lineup.

The Hurricanes traded for center Eric Haula, and he has been centering Necas and Warren Foegele early in camp on a line that is best described as a blur on the ice.

Carolina then signed Ryan Dzingel, who has flanked center Sebastian Aho early in camp on the opposite side of Nino Niederreiter on a top line that looks equally fast.

More speed.

On the eve of training camp, the team made another free agent addition: Jake Gardiner, one of the premier puck-moving defensemen in the league, should be able to activate the team’s speed with his ability to make tape-to-tape passes.

The Hurricanes have looked to add even more pace to their game, reportedly targeting speedy winger Ondrej Kase in talks with the Ducks about Justin Faulk, a trade that fell apart after the Carolina defenseman refused to waive his no-trade clause.

So while Carolina certainly has plenty of pace in its lineup, Brind’Amour knows there’s a difference between having fast players and playing fast.

“I hope we’re fast, but there’s a lot more that goes into it,” he said. “People said we were fast in years past, and we actually weren’t very fast. It’s how you play. You can have a lot of guys that fly around, but if the puck’s not moving and you’re not in the right place, it doesn’t work. On the flip side, you don’t necessarily have to have a bunch of fast skaters to play fast.”

He’s also keenly aware that fast skaters and fast play can lead to success in today’s NHL. “It’s nice to have both, let’s put it that way,” he added. “And that’s what we’re hoping to have.”

Medical supply company to invest $65 million in Mebane Approved Logos

Medline Industries, Incorporated, a manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies, will create 250 new jobs in Orange County, Governor Roy Cooper announced last week. The company will invest $65 million to build a brand-new distribution center in Mebane.

Medline is a healthcare company and the nation’s largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies. The company delivers medical devices and supplies to hospitals, independent physician practices, critical care units, surgical centers, home healthcare and EMS providers. The company had an early start making medical garments in Chicago in 1910 and added general medical supplies to its product line during World War II. With the fourth generation at the helm, Medline remains a familyowned business, and has grown to manufacture and distribute more than 550,000 products to more than 90 countries.

The Mebane location will be a 1.2 million square-foot LEED certified distribution center. At full capacity, the company anticipates the distribution center will operate with more than 600 employees in the future.

“Medline’s investment is a win for families in our community and the economy of the entire state,” said N.C. Representative Graig R. Meyer. “We stand ready to support their expansion into Orange County.”

States split by party on accepting Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement North Carolina is one of 23 states with Democrat attorneys general who have turned down a settlement deal, citing inadequate guarantees of payment from the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma

By Steve Karnowski The Associated Press STAMFORD, Conn. — Purdue Pharma, the company that made billions selling the prescription painkiller OxyContin, has filed for bankruptcy in White Plains, New York, days after reaching a tentative settlement with many of the state and local governments suing it over the toll of opioids.

The filing was anticipated before and after the tentative deal, which could be worth up to $12 billion over time, was struck.

“This settlement framework avoids wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and years on protracted litigation,” Steve Miller, chairman of Purdue’s board of directors, said in a statement, “and instead will provide billions of dollars and critical resources to communities across the country trying to cope with the opioid crisis. We will continue to work with state attorneys general and other plaintiff representatives to finalize and implement this agreement as quickly as possible.”

But legal battles still lie ahead for Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue, which is spending millions on legal costs as it defends itself in lawsuits from 2,600 government and other entities. About half the states have not signed onto the proposal. And several of them plan to object to the settlement in bankruptcy court and to continue litigation in other courts against members of the Sackler family, which owns the company. The family agreed to pay at least $3 billion in the settlement plus contribute the company it-

self, which is to be reformed with its future profits going to the company’s creditors.

The opioid crisis has hit virtually every pocket of the U.S., from rural towns in deeply conservative states to big cities in liberal-leaning ones.

The nation’s Republican state attorneys general have, for the most part, lined up in support of a tentative multibillion-dollar settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, while their Democratic counterparts have mostly come out against it, decrying it as woefully inadequate.

Some of the attention regarding the partisan divide has focused on the role played by Luther Strange, a Republican former Alabama attorney general who has been working for members of the Sackler family, which owns Purdue Pharma.

People familiar with the negotiations say he was at a meeting of the Republican Attorneys General Association over the summer, sounding out members about a settlement months before a tentative deal was struck this week.

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat, was one of the lead negotiators on the settlement and said that Strange played a big role.

“He was lawyer to the family, and so we had multiple discussions with the family in which I indicated that a supermajority of states could agree to a deal if the Sacklers would simply provide more certainty as to the payment,” Stein said in an interview. “Almost all states would agree to the deal if the Sackler family would guarantee it 100%. Just make a payment.

Those were discussions we had.

The Sacklers rejected those offers and said it was take it or leave it, and I’m leaving it.”

Under the proposed deal, the company would declare bankruptcy and remake itself as “public benefit trust,” with its profits going toward the settlement. An Associated Press survey of attorney gen-

eral offices shows 25 states and the District of Columbia have rejected the current offer.

The only states with Democratic attorneys general to sign on are Mississippi and Michigan, which is one of the few states that haven’t actually sued Purdue.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel noted the partisan split in a statement this week.

“While I have tremendous respect for my Democratic colleagues who have elected to opt out of settlement discussions,” she said, “ultimately each attorney general is obligated to pursue the course of action which is most beneficial to our respective states.”

The Republican-led attorney general offices in Idaho and New Hampshire have publicly rejected the settlement. Several GOPled states have not said where they stand, but people with knowledge of the negotiations say they are accepting the settlement.

The GOP attorneys general have generally contended that getting a settlement now is better than uncertainty and years of litigation, while the Democrats have mostly argued that the deal does not provide enough money and does not hold adequately accountable members of the Sackler family.

“The Sacklers have blood on their hands,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, a Democrat.

The states that have refused to sign on are expected to object in bankruptcy court and to seek to continue lawsuits in state courts against Sackler family members, who have denied wrongdoing.

“I don’t think you should read a whole lot into it,” Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, a Democrat, said of the partisan divide.

“My view is it’s a pretty close call to join or not. There are good arguments on both sides. All my colleagues who have made their decisions have made them in good

JP Morgan traders face charges on manipulating market The Associated Press NEW YORK — Three people — including a trader who ran JPMorgan’s global precious metals desk— were charged Monday with manipulating the precious metals futures market, the Justice Department said.

The indictment, which was unsealed in federal court in Illinois, alleges the traders were involved in a racketeering conspiracy that prosecutors say spanned eight years and involved thousands of

transactions.

Those charged include Michael Nowak, 45, of Montclair, New Jersey, who ran the global precious metals desk, Gregg Smith, a 55-year-old JPMorgan trader living in Scarsdale, and Christopher Jordan, 47, of Mountainside, New Jersey, who left JPMorgan in 2009.

Prosecutors allege the men worked with co-conspirators to commit widespread market manipulation, fraud and spoofing by placing bids with no plan to fill

them to impact the market. They are accused of harming JPMorgan’s clients and others in the market, prosecutors said.

“Today’s announcement involves the alleged manipulation of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures prices, by executives and traders, at one of this country’s premier financial institutions, Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski told reporters Monday. “These precious metals are widely used for investment and industrial purposes, and they are key

benchmarks for the U.S. economy.”

“In thousands of trades, they placed orders they did not intend to execute in an effort to create liquidity and drive prices toward orders they wanted to execute on the opposite side of the market,” he added.

Benczkowski said the Justice Department had several cooperating witnesses — including other JPMorgan employees — in the case and used data analysis to identify suspicious trading patterns.

JPMorgan declined to comment on the charges.

The three men were awaiting court appearances Monday afternoon in New York and New Jersey.

An attorney for Nowak said his client had done nothing wrong.

“We look forward to representing him at trial and expect him to be fully exonerated,” his attorneys, David Meister and Jocelyn Strauber, said in statement.

The names of Smith’s and Jordan’s lawyers weren’t immediately available.

C2 China to lift punitive tariffs on US soybeans, pork Beijing China will lift punitive tariffs imposed on U.S. soybeans and pork in a trade war with Washington, a state news agency said Friday, adding to conciliatory gestures by the two sides ahead of negotiations.

China will suspend tariff hikes on soybeans, pork and some other farm goods, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing the Cabinet planning agency and the Commerce Ministry. Beijing “supports domestic companies in purchasing a certain amount of U.S. farm produce,” it said, but it gave no details. The move follows President Donald Trump’s decision Wednesday to postpone a planned Oct. 1 tariff hike on Chinese imports to Oct. 15. Hopes are growing that the two sides might defuse the prolonged dispute that is threatening global economic growth. But there has been no sign of progress on the main issues in their sprawling conflict over trade and technology.

Lockheed Martin to base hypersonics program in Alabama Courtland, Ala. Lockheed Martin says it will base its hypersonics weapons program in north Alabama, where about 275 new jobs will be added over the next three years. The company held a ceremony Monday in Courtland, where two new buildings will be constructed to serve as a manufacturing and management home for work focusing on super high-speed weapons. A statement from the Maryland-based Lockheed Martin says 72 new jobs will be located in Courtland, and 200 positions will be added in Huntsville. Additional growth is expected. Lockheed Martin already employs about 2,000 people in Alabama, many of them in the high-tech industries near Huntsville’s Redstone Arsenal and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Hypersonic weapons are generally defined as those that travel more than five times the speed of sound.

Oil prices jump as attack on Saudi plant jolts supply Experts agree that higher oil prices will impact global markets for some time; however, some say that it could benefit U.S. oil market by ramping up domestic production, becoming world’s largest reserve

By Cathy Bussewitz The Associated Press GLOBAL ENERGY prices spiked more than 14% Monday after a weekend attack on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia caused the worst disruption to world supplies on record.

It was an increase on par with the 1991 Gulf War and analysts said heightened tensions in the Middle East could keep prices elevated for the foreseeable future.

The wider economic fallout will depend on just how long the Saudi supply disruption lasts.

U.S. crude oil jumped more than $8 to close at $62.90 a barrel, and Brent picked up nearly $9 per barrel, to reach $69.02.

The attack on Saudi Arabia’s largest oil processing plant disrupted more than half of its daily exports, halting 5% of world crude oil output.

It followed a string of other attacks in the Persian Gulf, which threatened global oil supplies and stirred tensions in the region. But the scope of the most recent incident was more severe. That’s espe-

cially worrying for oil-thirsty Asia, where China, Japan, South Korea and India are major customers of Saudi oil.

“What got hit is really important and serious, and this is not going to be a ‘We’re fixing it in two days’ kind of thing,” said Amy Myers Jaffe, senior fellow at the Council for Foreign Relations. “It’s the difference between my stabbing you in the leg or the shoulder, versus stabbing you in the neck.”

The U.S. and Asia’s reliance on mideast oil Asia is the biggest consumer of Persian Gulf oil, absorbing three-quarters of the oil that traveled out of the region last year. Saudi Arabia provides about a fifth of China’s crude imports, more than 37% of Japan’s and almost a third of South Korea’s.

And while oil production in the U.S. is booming, it is not enough to replace what could potentially be lost if there are further disruptions in the Middle East. It also is not the type of crude oil everyone wants.

Most of the new oil produced in the U.S. is light and sweet. But many oil refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast are designed to process heavy crude so it imports some of that from Saudi Arabia while shipping some of its own light, sweet crude to Europe.

The U.S. still imports a hefty amount of oil, and in 2018 it brought in 2.34 million barrels of

oil per day, representing 11% of the petroleum consumed in the country.

Higher oil prices impact global economy The oil price spike comes at a risky time for the U.S. economy.

Businesses have already reduced their investment spending as the U.S.-China trade war has raised costs and uncertainty, and the slowing global economy has cut into U.S. exports.

Higher oil prices, which typically push up gasoline costs, erode Americans’ spending power. That could also weigh on growth at a time when hiring is slowing down and consumers may face higher prices from new tariffs on Chinese imports.

“One of the biggest factors playing into our current economic outlook is uncertainty,” said Beth Ann Bovino, U.S. chief economist at S&P Global Ratings. “Higher oil prices may be just one more nail in the coffin for this U.S. expansion.”

Still, most economists forecast that the direct impact on the U.S. and other advanced economies will likely be small, particularly if the damage is quickly repaired.

And in the United States, now the largest oil producer in the world, higher prices actually carry a benefit: With revenue rising, oil drillers can hire more workers, build more rigs, and expand production.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at

Moody’s Analytics, said the impact on the U.S. economy over the next 12-18 months would be “largely a wash” after an initial hit to consumers is offset by the benefits to oil producers.

Airlines feel the pain Airlines are big consumers of fuel, and their shares fell Monday after the attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

Jet fuel is the biggest variable cost at airlines — accounting for about one-fifth of operating costs — and is second only to labor among all expenses. Airlines counter rising fuel prices by raising fares, but that usually takes time.

“The airlines will not be able to quickly absorb the spike in oil prices,” said Cowen airlines analyst Helane Becker. Since the third quarter is nearly over, she said, the impact will be more significant in the fourth quarter and beyond if oil prices remain elevated.

Tapping into reserves When a major disruption to oil supply happens, countries can act together — coordinating through the International Energy Agency — or alone when considering releasing oil from their strategic reserves.

There have been three times that countries acted together to release oil from their reserves, including during the lead-up to the Gulf War in 1991, after oil infrastructure was damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 and after a prolonged disruption of Libyan oil supply in 2011.

Asked about oil prices on Monday, President Donald Trump said “Well, they haven’t risen very much.

And we have the strategic oil reserves, which are massive, and we can release a little bit of that.”

NBC’s ‘Peacock’ to join the streaming fray in April New York Comcast’s NBCUniversal said Tuesday that its upcoming streaming service will be called Peacock, in an homage to NBC’s logo. It will become the home for some of the company’s most popular shows, including “Parks and Recreation” and “The Office.” That means both will be leaving Netflix, although not for several months after Peacock launches. As Disney, AT&T’s WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal prepare to debut their streaming services, they have been taking some of their TV and movie deals away from Netflix, the most popular streaming service. That augurs a future where consumers will have to hunt for their favorite shows and films among lots of different services. Peacock’s lineup will include series like “30 Rock,” ‘’Will & Grace,” and “Cheers,” although those won’t stream exclusively on Peacock, as well as original new movies and shows including reboots of “Battlestar Galactica” and “Saved by the Bell” and a new comedy series from “The Good Place” and “Parks and Rec” creator Mike Schur.

Over 50 factories at standstill as UAW strike talks with GM ‘makes progress’ The Associated Press DETROIT — Contract talks between General Motors and the United Auto Workers were set to resume Tuesday as a strike by more than 49,000 employees extended into a second day.

Negotiators took a break from bargaining around 9 p.m. Monday but were to be back at the tables on Tuesday.

“They are talking, they’ve made progress, we’ll see how long it takes,” Brian Rothenberg, spokesman for the UAW, said Tuesday.

The walkout has brought to a standstill more than 50 factories and parts warehouses in the union’s first strike against the No. 1 U.S. automaker in over a decade.

Workers left factories and formed picket lines shortly after midnight Monday in the dispute over a new four-year contract.

The union’s top negotiator said in a letter to the company that the strike could have been averted had the company made its latest offer sooner.

The letter dated Sunday suggests that the company and union are not as far apart as the rhetoric leading up to the strike had indicated.

Company-paid health insurance for the workers ended on Monday, but the UAW’s strike fund will pick up premiums for medical expenses and prescriptions, according to the union website.

Asked about the possibility of

federal mediation, President Donald Trump said it’s possible if the company and union want it.

“Hopefully they’ll be able to work out the GM strike quickly,” Trump said Monday before leaving the White House for New Mexico. “Hopefully, they’re going to work it out quickly and solidly.”

GM shares fell more than 4% Monday, but they recovered slightly to $37.29 on Tuesday morning.

On the picket line Monday at GM’s transmission plant in Toledo, Ohio, workers who said they have been with the company for more than 30 years were concerned for younger colleagues who are making less money under GM’s two-tier wage scale and have fewer benefits.

Paul Kane, a 42-year GM employee from South Lyon, Michigan, said GM workers gave up pay raises and made other concessions to keep the automaker afloat during its 2009 trip through bankruptcy protection.

“Now it’s their turn to pay us back,” he said. “That was the promise they gave.”

UAW Vice President Terry Dittes told GM that the company’s latest offer might have made it possible to reach an agreement if it had come earlier.

“We are disappointed that the company waited until just two hours before the contract expired to make what we regard as its first serious offer,” Dittes wrote in the letter to Scott Sandefur, GM’s vice president of labor relations.

GM said Sunday that it offered pay raises and $7 billion worth of U.S. factory investments resulting in 5,400 new positions, a minority of which would be filled by existing employees. The company also said it offered higher profit sharing, “nationally leading” health benefits and an $8,000 payment to each worker upon ratification.

Before the talks broke off, GM offered new products to replace work at two of four U.S. factories that it intends to close.

The company pledged to build a new all-electric pickup truck at a factory in Detroit, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The person was not authorized to disclose details of the negotiations.

The automaker also offered to open an electric vehicle battery plant in Lordstown, Ohio, where it has a huge factory that has already stopped making cars and will be closed. The new factory would be in addition to a proposal to make electric vehicles for a company called Workhorse, the person said.

It’s unclear how many workers the two plants would employ.

The closures, especially of the Ohio plant, have become issues in the 2020 presidential campaign.

President Donald Trump has consistently criticized the company and demanded that Lordstown be reopened.

There are still many important items left in the talks, including wage increases, pay for new hires,

job security, profit sharing and treatment of temporary workers, Dittes wrote in his letter.

“We are willing to meet as frequently, and for as long as it takes, to reach an agreement that treats our members fairly,” the letter said.

GM issued a statement saying it wants to reach a deal that builds a strong future for workers and the business.

Kristin Dziczek, vice president of labor and industry for the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank, said the letter and resumption of contract talks are encouraging signs. “It makes me think that both sides are probably closer than it might have seemed before,” she said.

But both Dziczek and Art Wheaton, an auto industry expert at the Worker Institute at Cornell University, say GM left out key details when it made part of its offer public, and working out those details could make the strike last longer.

The strike shut down 33 manufacturing plants in nine states across the U.S., as well as 22 parts-distribution warehouses.

It’s the first national strike by the union since a two-day walkout in 2007 that had little impact on the company.

Workers at Fiat Chrysler and Ford continued working under contract extensions. Any agreement reached with GM will serve as a template for talks with the other two companies.

travel Uptown Greenville: A transformation story

By Emmie Brooks The Associated Press GREENVILLE — Greenville has long been known for football stadiums, barbecue joints and hospitals. It’s downtown, however, had seen its better days.

Thanks to local supporters, downtown Greenville is now “Uptown Greenville”. With new developments such as upscale housing, restaurants, art galleries, theaters and a science museum, Greenville has a revitalized core for visitors to explore.

One of the first leaders behind the efforts to improve the downtown area was Don Edwards. A Greenville native and UNC graduate, Edwards has played a key role in Uptown Greenville’s rebirth. Edwards’s father founded the University Book Exchange (UBE) in 1968, catering to thousands of ECU students. Edwards came back from Chapel Hill in 1974 and started working with his father at the bookstore.

“With a talented group of people, we put our nose to the grindstone, worked long hours and did all of the things we needed to do to make this arguably the most successful private bookstore in the nation,” said Edwards who has been dreaming about redevelopment in Greenville for over 40 years.

“I was a parent of an age group swimmer which made me go visit other college towns, the best college towns, and Greenville just wasn’t one of them,” Edwards said.

Seeing how architecturally advanced and how popular these cities’ downtown areas were made Edwards want to make a change.

Edwards focused on more parking, adding attractions and making the streets of Greenville safer and more popular.

Jeff Glenn is another one of Uptown Greenville’s pioneers.

In 1948, Glenn’s parents opened a flower shop beside her house in Greenville called, Jefferson’s.

Since, Jefferson’s has changed locations four times and is now located in Uptown Greenville where it has turned into much more than a flower shop.

“Every Thursday we have 40 to 50 people that come to the store for our wine tastings, which

brings a lot of positive energy to the store,” Glenn said.

Glenn’s hard work and dedication to this store brings people in from around the state daily. What started as a simple family flower shop, has transformed into an upscale store that stocks fine wines and décor items in addition to flowers.

Glenn bought into the vision that Uptown Greenville would become much more than it once was.

Although it was a risky move at the time, she had faith that change was on the way. “We think the best is yet to come, we’re already seeing some really great things. I think we’ve got a lot of incredible things in place but this area is only going to get better,” Glenn said.

Brandon Qualls, an ECU graduate, has always been interested in food and cooking. In May 2018, Qualls opened a restaurant called Ford + Shep in Uptown Greenville. The restaurant is named after his two children, Redford and Shephard.

“I’ve always loved Uptown and I always knew it had amazing potential and I wanted to be a part of that,” Qualls said. “I saw the start of growth this way so I took the opportunity and jumped on it.”

Qualls also opened Greenville’s first “hatchet house,” called “Stumpy’s.” Stumpy’s is located in Uptown Greenville and is an axe throwing franchise that started in New Jersey.

“It was another step because Greenville already has dining, we were lacking in entertainment so we thought it would be cool to bring that here and give another entertainment option to Dickinson Avenue and Uptown Greenville,” Qualls said.

This surging growth has brought not only new attractions to town, but also more people from around the nation to enjoy what Greenville has to offer.

“We now see a lot of people walking around, going out at night and back in the day that just wasn’t a possibility for most people,” Jeff Glenn said.

Edwards, Glenn and Qualls are betting on Greenville’s future growth. Uptown has provided Greenville with another asset to supplement the draw of East Carolina.
