District 56 Rep. Allen Buansi joins 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell for a state legislature update on Friday, May 19. It’s been a busy week in the North Carolina General Assembly, with the state’s new abortion law being front-and-center. Buansi discusses the issues he’s heard from constituents about the measure, its process and its future effects on reproductive health. Plus, the representative talks about it being state budget season and his first ever bill passing unanimously: to create a specialty venus fly trap license plate.
