Domecast No. 51: The short session opens with a bang

Domecast, our weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for the weekend of April 30-May 1. The 2016 General Assembly short session began Monday with a wide variety of rallies, protests and even arrests. Dan Boylan of The Insider sets the scene. Then Colin Campbell of The News & Observer talks about the odds of a referendum on House Bill 2 -- something Senate Republicans are considering. Craig Jarvis of The N&O explains a court ruling this week upholding the state's voter ID and election law. And we take a look at the budget deliberations getting under way on Jones Street. We wrap up, as always, with Headliners of the Week. Pat Gannon of The Insider hosts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
