  • Domecast No. 83: HB2 repeal down in flames

    Domecast, The News & Observer’s weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for the weekend of Dec. 24-25.

We'll talk about what went wrong, and what's next for HB2. And we'll discuss whether recent special sessions could face a constitutional challenge in court.
