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

The North Carolina House gavels in to vote on a long-delayed $30 billion spending plan. The vote was 69-40 in the House with about five Democrats joining Republicans in support of the bill, while the Senate voted along party lines later in a 28-19 vote.

A budget move by Republicans redirected funding for sexual assault victims “away from Democratic-led agencies that had long overseen such money,” ProPublica reports.

Due South's Jeff Tiberii talks with investigative reporter Doug Bock Clark about his reporting for ProPublica - A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
