Relief at the Pump in action! Filled up my tank earlier today and paid $3.53/gallon — a stark difference from last week when it was over $4.

Relief at the Pump is now law! Republicans in the General Assembly have made it a priority to reduce costs for all North Carolinians. Suspending the gas tax provides families, farmers, and businesses much-needed relief when they fill up their tanks. Senate Republicans are committed to lowering costs and reining in government spending so citizens can keep more of their hard-earned money. #ncpol #ncga

Gas Tax Holiday Passed! Earlier today the Senate voted to suspend the gas tax through November 30. A little bit ago I finished ratifying it and now it’s up to Gov. Stein to sign it. This bill delivers relief for families, farmers, and businesses across the state who are grappling with high gas and diesel prices. #ncpol #ncga

Republican fiscal policies resulted in an incredible decade of success and economic growth. Senate Republicans fought to secure a budget that would continue those efforts, and the budget Gov. Stein signed does just that. It continues to slash tax rates for all North Carolinians and prioritize the needs of our citizens, not bureaucrats. #ncpol #ncga medium.com/@bergerpress/sena…

Our state’s fiscal health remains in great shape. This is a responsible spending plan that takes aim at bureaucratic bloat without endangering core services. This keeps our promise to reduce the tax burden for all North Carolinians, while expanding access to incredible educational opportunities, keeping our communities safe, and solidifying North Carolina’s status as the best state in the nation. #ncga #ncpol medium.com/@bergerpress/legi…

🚨🚨The North Carolina Border Protection Act is now law! This requires state law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration officials and holds Sanctuary Cities accountable for their defiance of state law. The General Assembly is taking decisive action to end sanctuary policies and tackle illegal immigration. I’m thankful that the House was able to override Gov. Stein’s dangerous veto. #ncpol #ncga

For years, we’ve seen these revenue forecasts significantly underestimate our state’s economic outlook. North Carolina’s economy is strong, and we continue to bring in substantial revenue surpluses thanks to Republican-led tax and budget policies. Our formula of low taxes, responsible spending, and reasonable regulations has led to one of the most prosperous decades in our state’s history. #ncga #ncpol myemail.constantcontact.com/…

YOU get to keep more of YOUR money. Senate Republicans went to the mat to secure a tax cut for all North Carolinians next year. This budget slashes your tax rate to 3.49%, and it will continue to drop to 2.99%. We’re protecting the taxpayers by fighting against increases. #ncpol

Mayor Lyles has been a guiding force for Charlotte. She was a steadfast leader who worked collaboratively with local and state officials to address the city's pressing needs. I want to thank her for her service and wish her well in retirement.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles plans to step down less than halfway through her latest term leading the nation’s 14th-largest city. Lyles will not run for another term in 2027, according to a news release. charlotteobserver.com/news/p…
