LAST WEEK’S RESULTS

What are the most effective ways for citizens to be heard in the policymaking process?

QUOTES FROM LAST WEEK

If striking and nonviolent protests are the only way to get that media coverage, I support the teachers who do that. Teachers shouldn’t have to pay for or ask parents for basic classroom supplies or any resources they deem necessary for their lessons. They also should not have to be paid so little that they have to take on additional jobs.
-Respondent from Charlotte

My choice is: find a local candidate you believe in, get to know that person one-on-one, work for them, get them elected.

NATION’S NOTES

What do you wonder about North Carolina government? Or have you stopped and considered whether you have any questions at all since the last time you watched Schoolhouse Rock Civics 101? We’d like to know what you’re wondering about, and then we’d like to find out the answer.

We’ve been excited to see questions roll in via AskNC, our new partnership with the NC Center for Public Policy Research, which launched recently.

We’ve written about the system of electing our Lieutenant Governor and Governor separately. We are now in the midst of researching mental health in North Carolina and why our state taxes military pensions. What have you been wondering? Ask your questions here.

All the best,
Nation

We want to hear from you.
