About this episode
The legislature largely wrapped up its 2026 short session this week with the arrival -- and quick passage -- of the long-delayed state budget bill. We’re sharing our This Week in State Politics segment, where WUNC News' Dave DeWitt and Colin Campbell are joined by NC Newsroom's Adam Wagner to discuss what's in the budget, and why it got support from many Democrats. You can hear the segment – and our analysis of each week’s political news – on Friday mornings during Morning Edition on WUNC News.
