WUNC | By Jeff Tiberii

Published June 16, 2023 at 3:59 PM EDT

Sports wagering will be legal in North Carolina beginning in 2024

This week in state politics, Governor Roy Cooper signed a bill into law that legalizes sports gambling. Meanwhile the legislature pushed forward two proposals that would shift some of the regulations, and power, around elections. WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell and News & Observer Capitol Bureau Chief Dawn Vaughan offer insights on some of the week's biggest political developments.
