The word "Due" read from top-down and "South" left-right, with the U shared between them. Reminiscent of a compass.

State Reps. Jason Saine, center, R-Lincoln, and Brenden Jones, R-Columbus, speak with Rep. Destin Hall, left, R-Caldwell, who was presiding over the House, during floor debate on the chamber's budget in the North Carolina Legislative Building in Raleigh, N.C., Wednesday, June 19, 2024. After a lengthy debate and some flared tempers, the budget was approved in a 73-36 vote.

Our second conversation with state lawmakers recently announcing their resignations is with Representative Jason Saine (R-Lincoln).

Saine was appointed to a seat in the North Carolina House in 2011, the first year in which Republicans reclaimed control of both chambers for the first time in more than a century.

Jeff Tiberii talks with him about chairing the budget committee, his leading role in the legalization of sports gambling, and what’s next for him after the state legislature.
