North Carolina lawmakers passed legislation Wednesday temporarily eliminating the state’s motor fuel tax, cutting the tax to zero through Nov. 30, as drivers, farmers, and businesses continue to face elevated fuel prices.

The House passed the measure 111-1, with Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, casting the lone dissenting vote, while the Senate approved it unanimously, 41-0.

The bill now heads to Governor Josh Stein’s desk, where it awaits his action.

Once signed, the gas-tax suspension takes effect the following day and remains in place through Nov. 30.

How is it? I-40 gorge, that is!

A detailed look on what exactly is being done to repair the damage to I-40 caused by Helene. The engineering and logistics involved are impressive.

I'm trying to help one of the young ladies I work with. She is taking care of herself, her mom who has cancer and her teenage sister. I'm not looking for anyone to give them money. I just need guidance of places to point her to for help with repairs on the house. It doesn't have to be free but please don't recommend a professional they don't have the means to do that. If anyone has a friend or family member that could help her do some stuff herself that would be great.

She's easily overwhelmed and is embarrassed by the situation but she's doing the best she can. The family just needs suggestions for places or people that could help.
