Do the damn thing, come hell or high water. @SmokyMtnNews hasn’t missed a weekly print edition in its 25 years, and I’m happy to say that due to a ton of hard work and some luck, that streak will continue.

I was told that the directive to not allow @The_CoryV in came from @WhatleyNC's staff. So despite the town attorney saying the event was public and press couldn't be barred without a valid reason, orders were orders, I suppose.
Cory Vaillancourt@The_CoryV

I was just denied entry into a Michael Whatley campaign event at the Waynesville Rec Center — a non-ticketed, free event advertised publicly for weeks with no mention of RSVP in online promo materials. I got the town attorney on the phone. She explained to members of the Haywood County Republican Party hosting the event that this appeared to be a violation of town policy. They refused to listen, and instead called police. I spoke with officers and left peaceably of my own accord. Smoky Mountain News Editor @Kyle_Perrotti was there too, and although initially permitted entry, he refused — telling me he "could not abide press restrictions." The same thing happened to @BryanRAnderson of @TheAssemblyNC and reporters from @NCnewsline not even two weeks ago. To steal an elegant line from Bryan's July 10 tweet about the situation — "We'll continue to cover this race." #ncpol

The biggest stunner of fundraising period for NC federal candidates has to be the disparity in #NC11: Chuck Edwards, the GOP incumbent, raised $155K and had $486K cash on hand. Jamie Ager, the Dem challenger, raised $1.4M and entered July with $2.2M in available cash. #ncpol

Big progress in the Pigeon River Gorge. Crews have placed ~68,000 cu. yds of roller-compacted concrete (RCC), enough to construct about three-quarters of a mile of retaining wall. That’s about 8% of the total RCC planned for the I-40 recovery project following Hurricane Helene.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.
