RALEIGH — In a recent column, I argued that cities would draw more investment and job creation to their downtowns if people felt safer in them.

The North Carolina General Assembly is going to stay in Republican hands after the 2022 midterms. For state Democrats, this is a bitter pill to swallow.

The N.C. House and Senate gave final approval to redrawn or remedial legislative electoral maps Thursday, after last-minute adjustments delayed the Senate session several times.

The Senate approved the House's maps, as well, with a 41-3 vote and no comment or change.
Ten days after throwing out North Carolina's newly drawn congressional and legislative election maps, the state Supreme Court has produced its formal opinion in the case.
