On This Week In State Politics, Rob Schofield, of the Progressive NC Policy Watch, and Becki Gray, of the Conservative John Locke Foundation, discuss the standoff, other policy on the move at the legislature, and the latest in a saga of a House lawmaker facing criminal charges for Cyberstalking his wife.
