As the new Republican majority in the North Carolina General Assembly pursues policy changes, some of its ideas are raising questions about the state constitution. Former N.C. Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law addresses some of those questions during the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio. Orr’s NCICL colleague Jeanette Doran also joins us to discuss some rules that could help improve North Carolina’s targeted tax incentive programs.

Joseph Coletti will share highlights from the most recent By The Numbers report on city and county tax-and-fee burdens, and you’ll hear key points from a recent legislative debate about the future of the local land transfer tax.

One of the legislature’s top issues this year has focused on lifting North Carolina’s statewide cap of 100 public charter schools. You’ll hear Sen. Richard Stevens, R-Wake, explain to colleagues why lifting the cap makes sense.
