Also: new laws providing for teacher raises and childcare funding; ruling against Blue Cross in its bid to keep administering the state health plan; a false alarm at the Shearon Harris nuclear plant; a downtown trolley service around the Man City-Celtic exhibition soccer match; disappointing news for two Tar Heel track & field stars; and legalized recreational marijuana in (one part of) North Carolina.
