The politics of the State continue to be squarely focused on redistricting.
The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday struck down the state's new maps for congressional and General Assembly seats Friday saying that the congressional and state legislative maps were partisan gerrymanders that violated the State Constitution. The 4-3 decision directed the legislature to redraw the plans by Feb. 18th and provide an explanation of how they calculated the fairness of the new boundaries.
The Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Access to Healthcare and Medicaid Expansion, created for the purpose of studying various ways to improve access to health care and health insurance for North Carolinians, including, but not limited to, Medicaid Expansion has announced the first three meetings. While the first meeting, scheduled for Feb. 18th, does not yet have an agenda or a list of topics the NC GAAC will be looking for and scheduling time to address the committee.
Until Next Month!
