The North Carolina General Assembly plans to vote on disaster relief legislation for areas of the state impacted by Tropical Storm Helene next week, leaders announced on Friday.
The death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen as of Wednesday morning to more than 200 deaths, 97 of them in North Carolina. As those hardest hit by the storm figure out how piece their businesses and lives back together, the Biden administration has some bad news: FEMA is going to run out of money after Helene.
On Thursday, former congressman Mark Walker proposed using the unoccupied Influx Care Facility (ICF) in Greensboro, leased by the federal government to house illegal immigrant minors, as a shelter for victims of Helene, instead.
North Carolina is projected to rank No. 12 in the nation for the largest economic loss under Kamala Harris’ proposed corporate tax increase, according to a new report from the Tax Foundation.
