Over the last 90 days, the State Auditor position has transformed from a state agency that released audits for various NC departments, agencies, local governments, and non-profits to a department that is working proactively in concert with the General Assembly to hold the entire NC executive branch accountable.  

At the helm, is Auditor Dave Boliek, who won the position in November after surviving a bruising primary that resulted in a summer runoff.   The Republican Auditor opens up about his political party affiliation (he was once a Democrat), his vision for the department, and his take on Tarheel politics.  

Skye and Brian also break down the Senate Regulatory Reform Committee's inaugural meeting, House Rules approved, a new Senate Majority Leader, a Senate budget update, #TOTW, pollen, and mens' fashion choices inside the General Assembly.  

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.
