97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell guest-hosts on Wednesday, July 1, and shares the latest local headlines. The heat wave hitting the country reaches the region, with central North Carolina under a heat advisory with temperatures hitting 100 degrees and forecasted to get even hotter this weekend. On top of that, extended drought conditions have the Orange Water and Sewer Authority alerting residents to their protocols around water restrictions and good conservation tips to use before its water levels get critically depleted. In Raleigh, North Carolina Republicans unveil and begin to pass a state budget — the first in more than 1,000 days. And Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson helps detail the end goal for the town’s ongoing overhaul of its land use management ordinance. Plus, in sports: the Tar Heel Takeover on ACC Network continues and Diamond Heels’ star pitcher Caden Glauber commits to another season in Chapel Hill.
