Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breaking down 'forever chemicals' in NC rivers. Cape Fear and Haw riverkeepers explain what they're fighting for
Q: What is the current state of measurement and regulation for PFAS in North Carolina?
There are no uniform statewide numeric standards for PFAS in rivers yet, many dischargers are not required to test or minimize PFAS unless specific rules are implemented; the EMC is considering a monitoring/minimization plan, but advocates argue it does not go far enough and that stronger, source-level limits are needed.
Durham's property tax challenge, and a local "Black queer daddy" goes on RuPaul's Drag Race
Q: How hard was it to get the numbers breaking down who appealed and who benefited?
It was extremely challenging; public records were scattered, not centrally published, and we had to compile data from multiple sources and records requests to map out who got reductions and who didn't.
Durham's property tax challenge, and a local "Black queer daddy" goes on RuPaul's Drag Race
Q: When did you realize there was a story here?
I started hearing in April about the unexpected $9 million hole in Durham's budget and the role of property tax appeals, which led us to investigate how valuations and appeals were playing into the city's finances.
NC Promise guarantees low tuition at four state universities. Plus, addressing college student homelessness
Q: What role can universities play beyond tuition relief to support homeless or housing-insecure students?
Universities could publish realistic cost-of-attendance budgets, reserve housing for students experiencing homelessness, increase wages for student workers, and consider enrollment scales aligned with available resources to better serve affected students.
NC Promise guarantees low tuition at four state universities. Plus, addressing college student homelessness
Q: Did there ever exist concerns that NC Promise would cheapen the reputation of the schools, and how did perceptions evolve?
There were initial concerns about prestige and perception, but over time many critics became supporters as the program demonstrated strong enrollment, robust programs, and tangible student success, reinforcing the value of affordable education.
