By Joe Killian Verified| The Assembly Verified When a group of state senators filed a bill last week to earmark $500,000 to study building a professional wrestling hall of fame in North Carolina, it made national headlines and went viral online. That wasn’t an accident. Sen. Jay Chaudhuri (D-Wake) filed a similar bill two years ago. In wrestling parlance, it did not “get over.” It got no real media attention or public buzz, and there was little chance of it passing or inspiring a private effort to get the hall off the ground.
By Joe Killian Verified| The Assembly Verified Greensboro Mayor Pro Tempore Marikay Abuzuaiter officially announced her run for mayor Wednesday, confirming an ambition many across the city have suspected for years. Abuzuaiter, 70, has been a constant on the council since her first election in 2011—but getting there in the first place wasn’t easy. “If you don’t remember, I lost twice!” she told The Assembly this week. “It’s okay if you don’t, really.”Abuzuaiter always had an interest in local politics.
