As the state budget impasse continues without much news, there was an interesting policy at the North Carolina General Assembly this week regarding hemp.

Meanwhile, a partisan gerrymandering trial in state court saw testimony from an expert witness thrown out for being inaccurate. And, a House lawmaker who stalked his wife resigned his elected post.

Becki Gray, from the John Locke Foundation, and Rob Schofield, with NC Policy Watch, review the Week In State Politics.
