A bill was passed (nearly unanimously) in the dead of night that will greatly restrict access to death investigation records, including in-custody deaths. I teamed up w/ @_lucysherman & @KateReports to dig into why here's what we found #ncpol wbtv.com/2020/06/27/whi…
2/ @ncdhhs requested lawmakers make more death investigation records secret b/c, they said, some police agencies were reluctant to share records. But the Chief Medical Examiner couldn't provide a single actual example of when that has happened #ncpol
3/ in our interview yesterday, the Chief Medical Examiner claimed these records were already not public in the custody of OCME. I asked her to cite the statute supporting that. She couldn't. Later, a spokeswoman said there wasn't one #ncpol

Last week, hundreds of students whose parents fought, were injured or died in war were told NC Dept of Military & Veterans Affairs would cut room & board allowance in half. It still hasn't paid any scholarship $, despite promises to do so #ncpol #ncgov wbtv.com/2019/12/05/chi…
As a result of the cut--which wasn't announced until last week--schools are now demanding students re-pay money that had already been credited towards their account. Students/parents are dealing with this uncertainty during finals and as the holidays approach #ncpol #ncgov
In October, @NC4VETS Sec. Larry Hall told me the scholarships would get paid. They still haven't. Since then, I've heard from parents across the state who say they've been financially impacted by the scholarship money not being paid #ncpol #ncgov wbtv.com/2019/10/31/sch…

Bailiff just announced that we CAN tweet and take pictures from the #nc09 hearing. This is a very big deal in NC, where many courthouses still don’t allow phones at all. Many props to Judge Ridgeway and @kzmyers for facilitating as much media access as possible!
“Certification is a process with a mandatory timeline” Dale says. Then makes clear @MarkHarrisNC9 wants NCSBE investigation to continue after he’s certified. “We can’t be in a process that has no end.” #nc09 #ncpol
Dale argues that because there was no protest (within the means of the law) then the board should have certified #NC09 race #ncpol
