SUMMARY: Lawmakers in North Carolina have reintroduced a bill for a “work-and-save” retirement program aimed at helping employees of small businesses save for retirement through automatic payroll deductions. The program would offer both traditional and Roth IRAs and be administered by the state with participation from public and private financial institutions. The bill, sponsored by Republican Reps. Lowery, McNeely, and Warren, aims to provide workers, including laborers and farmers, with a means of saving for retirement. It also seeks to reduce public assistance costs, as states with similar programs have seen significant savings. Participation in the program is voluntary for employers.

SUMMARY: A tragic crash on Clayton Boulevard resulted in the death of a 19-year-old, with driver Jay Guadalupe Moreno Neas, 48, facing DWI charges. Police report that Neas had a blood alcohol content of .17, over twice the legal limit. He ran a stoplight, striking the victim’s car. Charged with felony death by motor vehicle, DWI, and other offenses, Neas’s actions serve as a reminder of the dangers of drunk driving, which accounts for a significant number of traffic fatalities. In response, North Carolina has introduced House Bill 400, aiming to impose stricter penalties on impaired drivers. Neas is scheduled to return to court on April 3rd.

A 48-year-old man was charged with driving with no license and DWI in a “completely preventable” deadly crash.
