Blue wave looms large in purple North Carolina

North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper's nearly 20-point win over Republican Michael Whatley for U.S. Senate was just the tip of the crest of the midterm elections' blue wave. The Democratic surge continued in North Carolina's 1st Congressional District. In 2025, Republicans in the General Assembly had deliberately redrawn the area to lock down another GOP seat, shifting conservative chunks of District 3 into District 1 to make it almost impossible for incumbent Democrat Don Davis to hang on.

If you get a speeding ticket in NC, be prepared for years of expensive insurance

You might think of getting a speeding ticket as a one-off. It sucks, but it doesn’t define you as a driver. Unfortunately, that forgiveness may not be reflected in your car insurance bills. According to a new study from LendingTree, in North Carolina, average auto insurance premiums rise 49.3% after a ticket for driving 11-15 mph over the speed limit. The study analyzed insurance rate data from Quadrant Information Services, comparing rates before and after a driver’s first speeding ticket for driving 11-15 mph over the limit. In North Carolina, premiums went up, on average, from $1,173 to $1,752 annually. That’s $579 more per year, or an increase of about $48 per month. And those higher rates could stick around. Aubie Knight, CEO of the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina , told me that insurance surcharges usually remain for three years. If a 49.3% increase seems steep, it is. The LendingTree study found that North Carolina’s percentage rate increase is the highest among all 50 states and Washington, D.C., followed by California (41.8%), Michigan (36.5%), Rhode Island (36.4%) and Delaware (31.3%). Florida drivers see the smallest increase, 9.6%. Measuring by dollar increases, however, puts North Carolina lower on the

High school NIL grows some in N.C.; local impact remains minimal

Two years ago, some feared that by now, the best player on every high school sports team in America would be getting paid. It was then that a Wake County judge granted an injunction that struck down North Carolina’s ban on high school athletes being able to be paid for their name, image and likeness. Much was made at the time of the importance of establishing a means for high school athletes nationwide to have access to the same deals college kids were getting. North Carolina followed suit with other states, establishing an NIL platform for high school athletes similar to the NCAA’s wide-sweeping changes that allowed outside entities to pay the players who were responsible for generating much of the popularity, exposure and revenue enjoyed by their schools. Since the door was kicked open, high school NIL deals in North Carolina have grown somewhat, but their average payout isn’t much and their reach hasn’t been far. Pitt County this year has one athlete on an NIL deal, a first for the county. But the question remains, is the high school NIL era ever really going to catch on? “I would say as far as the big picture goes, what
