  • George Graham Jr., 43, Was Arrested Saturday in Carteret County
    George W. Graham Jr. Summary George Washington Graham Jr. has represented Lenoir County in the North Carolina House since 2013. Previously, he served on the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners from 1982 until his election to the House. Graham was the second child born to George Washington Graham and Mattie Lee Kilpatrick in the Kinston-area. His father was a long-haul truck driver. Graham and his wife, Patricia, were married in 1973 and had one child, George Washington Graham III, in 1978. Soon thereafter, they were divorced. In 1988, Graham married Marilyn Jimmette. The Grahams own several parcels in Lenoir County and earn rental income from them according to Statements of Economic Interest filings. In addition, Graham was employed as an administrator by Lenoir Community College and The Dobbs School. Unfortunately, Graham’s public record reveals significant red flags in his example as a leader for our children. Additionally, Graham consistently aligns with liberal policy positions, most notably advocating for job-killing tax increases, with a few exceptions. Graham’s legal record begins with two DUIs in the early 1990s. He was charged with giving alcohol to a minor in 1992 but that charge was later dropped. In July 2016, he was arrested and cited for DUI once again. After refusing to accurately take a breathalyzer test, his license was revoked indefinitely and he was given probation for one year plus community service. In late 2016, Graham petitioned the North Carolina DMV to return his license claiming that his confusion and unwillingness to cooperate on the scene stemmed from blood sugar issues and his Type-1 Diabetes.

Thom Tillis U.S. Senator 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court Dear Sens. Grassley, Burr & Tillis, We write to express our strong support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As legislators, we have accepted the responsibility to faithfully represent the interests of our constituents in creating the laws that govern our state. We firmly believe that the judiciary’s role is to interpret those laws, not to use the power of the bench to circumvent the legislature and enact preferred policies. Judge Kavanaugh’s decisions throughout his distinguished judicial career make it clear that he will enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the U.S. Constitution. He is a brilliant legal mind with impeccable credentials. On the merits, Judge Kavanaugh is a leading jurist on one of America’s top courts whose opinions are regularly cited throughout the country, and his confirmation should receive unanimous support. We appreciate your work to advance the confirmation of an immensely qualified nominee through the political minefield. We stand ready to assist in any way we can to help ensure Judge Brett Kavanaugh becomes the next U.S.

Agenda order changed to Emergency Management and North Carolina’s Electricity Grid, The Opioid Crisis: The State of the State and North Carolina’s Emergency Preparedness Update. Mr. Tom Pruitt & Mr. Carl Cahill, Duke Energy, Presented (See Presentation). Q: Senator Rabin- When you go through the threats- cyber, GMD, EMP, etc., the one that I don’t see in my humble opinion is a direct attack on the power stations. A: Pruitt- We do take it very seriously and is grouped in the Physical/Cyber Security slide. The physical attack is anything that is attacked on our facilities. A: Pruitt- We cannot prevent or defeat what someone might do in that situation but we can be as prepared as possible and respond as quickly as possible. Q: Representative Pittman- I asked about security at the dam at Lake Norman because it occurred to me after 9/11, if somebody wanted to, they could take that dam out crashing a plane in with high explosives or something like that could do a lot of damage. Is there enough security to make sure that does not happen.

But despite 156 days of discussion and debate by lawmakers in Raleigh, much was left undone for the people of North Carolina.

  • Exploring the Impact of Legislation on the Development of Craft Beer
    beverages Article Exploring the Impact of Legislation on the Development of Craft Beer Alistair Williams School of Hospitality, The College of Management, Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte Campus, Charlotte, NC 28202, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-980-598-1531 Academic Editor: James M. Seff Received: 4 December 2016; Accepted: 20 March 2017; Published: 28 March 2017 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways in which federal and state legislation has impacted the growth of the US craft beer industry. In order to achieve this purpose, the city of Charlotte in North Carolina (N.C.) will be used as a case study. The research is conceptual in nature, a preferred choice as it allows a researcher to break down the issue into its constituent parts in order to gain a broader understanding. The research demonstrates that the legal framework in place for the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the U.S.A., which is a legacy of the Prohibition movement of the last century, continues to have a significant impact on the development of the craft beer industry. The growth in the number of breweries across the U.S.A. has been driven by the craft brewing industry and has provided consumers with a vastly increased array of choices (Burgdorf, 2016). The growth in the craft beer industry has not been proportional across all states, however. While many factors influence the growth of craft breweries (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000), regulations such as those that restrict how brewers can distribute and retail beer have inhibited growth in many states, limiting consumer choice.
