LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

 

Due to the unrest in Raleigh I waited till Wednesday to go to the General Assembly. Things have been odd for quite some time due to the virus but made even more so with the protests and riots. I did see protestors in front of the Governor’s Mansion, but they were peaceful.

On the legislative side of things, nothing new to report.

God Bless,

Jerry
