and House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, have sued in federal court to prevent Democratic
Gov. Roy Cooper from fulfilling a campaign pledge to expand Medicaid.
The uncertainty of the ACA under the Trump administration and the Repu bl ica n -controlled
Congress' inability to push its goal of repeal and replace has put on hold the state's Medicaid
waiver request plan to federal health agencies that was submitted in June 2016. Rep. Donny
Lambeth, R-Forsyth, and the legislature's lead health-care expert said it could be December before
he gets an update on the waiver request from federal health agencies. (Richard Craver, WINSTON-

Stein Vote
Attorney General Josh Stein said he regrets his vote as a senator two years ago for a state law
now at the center of the debate over removing Confederate monuments from public spaces across
North Carolina. The Senate voted unanimously for the Historical Artifacts Management and
Patriotism Act, which gives the state Historical Commission authority over moving Confederate
statues while also severely limiting that authority. "In retrospect, if I could do it again, I would
have voted differently," Stein said, noting that he paid more attention to flag protection provisions
in the law when it was debated. "I think the law needs to be revisited," he said. "It's wrong for
Raleigh to tell every community in this state who they must memorialize in their public space."
Republican legislative leaders defend the law to prevent what they consider knee-jerk decisions on
monuments. "To honor someone like a Gen. (Robert E.) Lee who took up arms against the United
States of America, the American flag, in order to preserve slavery, that's wrong," Stein countered.
Public sentiment has evolved since many Confederate statues went up in the early 1900s, he said.
"It was about exuding white supremacy. It was not about honoring people who had long since
died," he said.
Gov. Roy Cooper's administration has asked the Historical Commission to move three Confederate
statues from outside the State Capitol to the Bentonville Battlefield historical site in Johnston
County. The commission is set to meet Sept. 22 to consider Cooper's request and others.(Cullen
Browder, WRAL NEWS, 9/13/17).
Wine Growlers
The N.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission gave initial approval Wednesday to new rules
governing the sale of glass wine growlers -- updating rules that apply to beer growlers but don't fil
well for selling wine in similar containers.
Although not as common as beer growlers, wine growlers -- which can also be used for alcoholic
cider, sake and mead -- have been legal in North Carolina since a 2015 law loosening alcohol
regulations. Growlers are refillable glass containers in which customers can purchase beer or wine
to take home.
Until now, the ABC Commission's rules for growler sales didn't have provisions addressing wine.
Current rules detail what should appear on growler labels for beer, but the new rules would outline
label requirements for wine. Wine growler labels would need to include the brand name, name of
manufacturer, type of product, date the growler was filled, name and address of the business that
filled the growler, and a disclaimer that says "this product may be unfiltered and unpasteurized.
Keep refrigerated at all times."
The new rules would allow wineries to sell, ship and deliver growlers pre -filled with their wine as
long as they include the required labels. ABC Commission officials said the rules were developed
with input from the N.C. Retail Merchants Association and groups representing the state's
wineries, which told the commission on Wednesday that they support the proposal.
The new growler rules aren't finalized yet. They'll be submitted to the N.C. Office of Administrative
Hearings to be published ahead of an Oct. 11 public hearing at the ABC Commission. Also
Wednesday, the ABC Commission approved a new ABC store on Francam Drive in Fayetteville and
approved the relocation of an ABC store on Wrightsville Avenue in Wilmington. The commission
also acted on 87 alcohol license violations. (Colin Campbell, THE INSIDER, 9/14/17).

Pitt Shelter
Pitt County wants to build a gymnasium that can double as an emergency shelter. The Board of
Commissioners is hoping the federal government will make it happen. The North Carolina Division
of Emergency Management is seeking two types of mitigation from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and wants local governments to submit plans.
During its Monday meeting, the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to give County
Manager Scott Elliott authority to send a letter of interest outlining the project. The county is
seeking $4 million, the maximum amount, from the federal pre -disaster mitigation fund to build a
gymnasium -community center that would also serve as a shelter -safe room, said Planning Director
3ames Rhodes.
"We did get notice back from the state, and the state is encouraging Pitt County to move forward,"
Rhodes said. The structure would ensure a shelter that isn't connected to the school system is
available. "After Hurricane Matthew, schools to a certain extent were delayed in reopening
because people were still be housed in those areasRhodes said. The property at Keene Park was
used by FEMA to established emergency housing following the flooding brought on by Hurricane
Floyd in 1999.
It's estimated the project would cost $6 million, Rhodes said. Pitt County would need to contribute
$2 million toward the project, which would more than cover the county's required 25 percent
match, Rhodes said. Staff will apply for other grants, specifically a state Parks and Recreation
Trust Fund grant, to offset some of that cost.(Ginger Livingston, THE DAILY REFLECTOR,
9/13/17).
Montgomery Internet
Montgomery County IT Director Brian Helms said that the county is taking an active role in the
effort to provide better internet service within the county. Helms said even with the efforts the
county has put forth there hasn't been much movement in the way of a solution. The biggest
obstacle the county faces in providing better quality internet and higher speeds is the
overwhelming cost of infrastructure. Helms noted that the county has been in contact with
CenturyLink, Randolph Communication and Ellerbe Telephone in attempts to find the best solution.
Helms said that CenturyLink has put as much effort to improve broadband availability within the
county as anyone and noted, "Compared to where the county was in 2005 when I came here to
now it is night and day. CenturyLink has expanded services to a large portion of the county during
this time, but there are still physical limitations to what they can send through the old copper
phone lines that exist throughout the county. Within the town of Troy, they are able to offer up to
40 megs where it is needed."
This issue is not unique to Montgomery County, but a problem many rural areas across the state
are facing. Gov. Roy Cooper recently called for expanded high-speed broadband service
throughout North Carolina in his opening address at the North Carolina Digital Government
Summit. The North Carolina Digital Government Summit brings together information technology
leaders from the public and private sectors to address current issues in government IT. In his
opening address to an audience of more than 400 people, Gov. Cooper stressed the importance of
expanding broadband access across the state. According to the N.C. Department of Information
Technology, there are more than 400,000 households without access to high-speed internet
services, 89 percent of those in rural areas. "Right now our state faces a digital divide, and future
success requires that North Carolinians in both our rural and urban areas have access to
broadband internet," said Cooper. "Broadband can increase educational opportunities, develop
