AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Utilities & Cost Fight: North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson says he won’t sign a Duke Energy Progress settlement that would still raise residential bills about 6.8% over two years, arguing it’s too high and pushing for a separate rate class for data centers and other large energy users. Public Safety vs. Privacy: Harnett County residents are debating Flock automated license plate readers, with some calling for removal and others backing the cameras as a tool for policing. Elections & Power: An Elon University poll shows Roy Cooper leading Michael Whatley by 11 points in the U.S. Senate race, with Cooper also ahead on name recognition. Education Funding: New state data show multiple NC districts with declining enrollment in 2024-25, including Union, Stokes, Nash, and McDowell—while a report again flags the state’s low per-pupil funding. Justice System: A Davidson County convicted killer from 1975 is being considered for parole by the state parole commission. Workforce & Training: Lenoir Community College showcased an F-35 flight demonstrator at its Aviation Center for Excellence, highlighting military training partnerships.
