Under the Dome podcast: Why bills about NC boards are a big deal

Time to start your week in #ncga #ncpol with the latest episode of Under the Dome, our News & Observer politics podcast. Dawn Vaughan here, your host and state Capitol bureau chief.

On this episode for the week of June 19, 2023, I talk with my politics team colleague, legislative correspondent Kyle Ingram, about why bills about boards are nowhere near boring. That’s because they are about control over elections, separation of powers, the role of the governor and how the legislature is trying to shift power.

Plus, hear about another elections bill that would make a variety of changes to how you cast your vote.

Headliner of the Week

Listen to the end for our picks for Headliner of the Week, which are about two North Carolinians: one who has been world-famous for a long time and the other who will soon get national attention.

One is the arguable GOAT in basketball, and the other ushered the state through what seemed like endless COVID-19 days.

Yes, you already know the first one is Michael Jordan, and if you’ve been following the news, you know the other is Mandy Cohen. Find out why they’re our headliners.
