NC Infrastructure Gets C-Minus; Crime Hearing Moves Forward

North Carolina’s infrastructure received a C-minus grade in the latest civil engineering report, renewing concerns about roads, bridges, and long-term investment needs statewide. At the same time, the State Board of Elections is asking roughly 241,000 voters to verify their identity, part of an effort to clean up voter rolls and ensure accurate records. In Raleigh, a judge has ruled he will not impose additional limits on lawmakers’ planned hearing on crime in Charlotte, allowing legislative oversight efforts to proceed. Separately, election officials say a major data repair project has successfully completed corrections on more than 32,000 voter registration records, marking progress in addressing longstanding database issues.
