Danny Britt and Democratic challenger Catina Hamm.

NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

A Blue Wave in Scotland County

After years of shifting to the political right, a majority of Scotland County voters picked Democrats in every partisan race on the ballot on Tuesday. Two Republican county commissioners—Bo Frizzell and Tim Ivey—lost their seats. That means Democrats will regain a 4-3 majority on the board, after the GOP took control in 2024 for the first time in modern history.

I asked experts to sum up NC's historic midterm results in 5 words or less | Opinion

We’re all still trying to process a shocking Election Day in North Carolina and across the country. The blue wave was more of a tsunami , delivering a brutal wipeout for Republicans even in their safest territory. As of Wednesday afternoon, Roy Cooper led by a margin of 19 points , the largest U.S. Senate victory in North Carolina in 50 years. Democrats have landed just one seat short of a trifecta in state government, with an outright 72-seat supermajority in the N.C. House and a nearly even split in the N.C. Senate. A congressional map drawn to give Republicans an 11-3 advantage is on track to split 10-4 in favor of Democrats. Nobody really saw it coming. So I asked some experts and political operatives to sum up their reaction to North Carolina’s midterm results in five words or less. Here’s what they said: Michael Bitzer , director of the Center for North Carolina Politics & Public Service at Catawba College: “Historic Bloodbath.” David McLennan , political scientist and former director of the Meredith Poll: “The House races were unexpected.” Tariq Bokhari , Republican who served four terms on Charlotte City Council: “Compromise just became a requirement.” (He also
