Stein Tackles Hunger Bridge and Erosion

Governor Josh Stein rolled up his sleeves in Kitty Hawk, packing food at the Beach Food Pantry to show firsthand how thousands of North Carolinians—many ineligible for SNAP—are still struggling to eat. He called hunger a statewide crisis demanding government action. While there, he also addressed the stalled Mid-Currituck Bridge, confirming it’s still active despite $61 million already spent, and stressed federal funding is essential to bridge the massive cost gap. He’s pushing for U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy’s erosion bill, which would let homeowners get flood insurance payouts before their homes collapse—something Hatteras Island residents urgently need. Stein is sounding the alarm: Congress must act on coastal erosion, NC 12, and other critical needs before it’s too late. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
