Topic: One-on-One with Governor Roy Cooper

He’s just unveiled his proposed state budget to a more balanced General Assembly than the Republican supermajority of his first two years, but one where the GOP remains firmly in charge. Gov. Cooper joins us this week for the full show to talk about his education priorities and what he hopes to accomplish over the next two years.
