It is round two of veto override at the General Assembly. Republicans in the Senate have overridden Governor Cooper's veto of House Bill 10. The bill now becomes law. The GOP controlled State House voted to override it on Tuesday. HB10 includes the controversial bill that expands who qualifies for private school vouchers. Shanna Peele, President of the Buncombe County Association of Educators, feels that the money would be better spent on public education. Governor Cooper, back in September, called the bill a real threat to public schools and said the money would be better spent for providing retention bonuses for teachers. Independent journalist Bryan Anderson talked with Jeff Hamlin about a busy week in Raleigh just before Josh Stein becomes governor.
