Episode notes
Sen. Lisa Barnes of Nash County joins Tony to discuss a bill she introduced with Sens. Newton and Moffitt that would prohibit Rocky Mount from transferring revenue from its electric fund to other city funds, a practice the state auditor's office identified as a key contributor to the city's financial distress. Barnes also weighs in on the broader debate over property tax reform in North Carolina and its impact on residents on fixed incomes.
