October 17

In a recent discussion with one of my friends, he expressed his opinion that House Bill 2 should not hurt Gov. Pat McCrory’s chances of reelection because he sees it as a non-issue. In his words, the economic growth of N.C. should take precedent over where people can use the restroom.

Column: Women deserve better than this

By Kate Stotesbery | October 17

On Friday, I headed to Donald Trump’s rally in Greensboro. I still can’t quite nail down what, exactly, I expected to find. Perhaps a half-full amphitheater of men?
