House Rejects Shrimp Trawling Ban

Shrimpers rallied in Raleigh to protest proposed restrictions on inland trawling, a ban the House now says it will not advance. U.S. Senator Thom Tillis has reintroduced legislation to make blocking traffic during protests a federal crime. Meanwhile, a recent party switch has given Republicans a majority edge on the Robeson County Board of Commissioners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
