Stein Unveils Major WNC Infrastructure Funding; NC CON Law

Governor Josh Stein has announced hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding for infrastructure projects across Western North Carolina, targeting roads, bridges, water systems, and long-term recovery needs following recent storms. On the legal front, the North Carolina Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging the state’s ban on Sunday hunting, leaving the current restrictions in place. The courts have also upheld North Carolina’s Certificate of Need law, rejecting a challenge from a New Bern eye surgeon who argued the regulations unfairly limit competition in healthcare.
