State House and Senate leaders have failed to agree on the details of a $500 million Hurricane Helene relief bill, delaying the bill's passage by weeks. Democratic Gov. Josh Stein says he wants to work with GOP lawmakers, and President Donald Trump, on Helene but needs faster action and more funding. State Senate leader Phil Berger said the legislature may have a deal soon, but Stein said in several speeches this week the wait has been too long. Meanwhile, death threats against politicians have been on the rise in North Carolina. And NC Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie breaks news about asbestos concerns inside the state legislative building.
