In today’s news: local leaders remember the late Orange County Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford – and discuss how to fill her board seat. Also: state lawmakers override Gov. Stein’s vetoes on bills related to immigration and DEI; the State Supreme Court sides with UNC in a records suit; North Carolina’s attorney general denounces a federal settlement with Chemours over PFAS “forever” chemicals; one of our station’s owners gets an appointment from UNC; and Orange County releases its biennial State of the County Health report – mostly positive, but with concerns about the impact of national trends and federal policies like immigration. And in sports, Tar Heel basketball star Henri Veesaar gets drafted after a longer-than-expected wait, with the Clippers calling his name (before trading him to the Hawks) in the second round.
