@LPMecklenburg @ShannonBrayNC Good post…although, FYI, Us account for 39% of all registered voters in NC, significantly more than Rs or Ds (30% each), but still a plurality, not a “vast majority.”

Unaffiliated make up the vast majority of the NC voter rolls, so we're here to tell you about the best candidate NC has when the news won't even mention his name or include him in polls. Vote @ShannonBrayNC for US Senate

For-the-Birds Dept. Wake County’s humans generate more pounds of trash per capita than average in the USA (which is saying a lot). Most of that ends up in our Apex landfill. @indyweek indyweek.com/news/one-mans-…

Update: the US House passed their relatively innocuous version of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act back in February, 390-9. The more problematic Senate version passed last week, 89-10. Fortunately, there are a lot more than nine representatives in the House troubled by the Senate version, so hopefully a better bill will emerge from reconciliation negotiations. cato.org/blog/road-lett…

President Trump’s new housing executive order telling states to get out of the way is genuinely encouraging. The best way to improve affordability is to remove government-imposed barriers and cost pressures on new construction. Learn more from Cato's @MrRBourne and @sslivinski: ow.ly/lXxB50YvRAS

@LPNC claims the collective results of this pool have out-performed the @NCGOP and the @NCDemParty every year for a decade. Dunno about that, but the pool has been won by a Wake County libertarian two years in a row: @Steve6599 in 2024 and John Underwood in 2025. Let’s keep the bragging rights right here again this year! picks.cbssports.com/college-basket…

Heh, if we eliminated the zoning restrictions and red tape that make it so hard and expensive to build denser housing, we would not need to mortgage our kids’ future to fund projects. But that might enable building duplexes or <gasp> rental units near where the NIMBYs live.

Trump’s tariffs raised enough revenue to fund the government for 12 days. reason.com/2026/03/17/pet…
