Rep. Brian Farkas: ‘Be Kind and Be Respectful‘
Friday Sep 03, 2021
Friday Sep 03, 2021
Rep. Brian Farkas is a moderate Democrat who thrives in a coin-toss Pitt County district that gives him the freedom to work across the political aisle. The freshman legislator also talks about being one of the younger members in the General Assembly.
This week's podcast also welcomes guest-host Dylan Reel, counsel to House Rules Chairman Destin Hall, who is standing in for Brian Lewis as he takes his daughter to college.
Skye David and Dylan unpack a two-veto week at the General Assembly that includes gun legislation and a hotel bill, which mysteriously caught the disapproval of Governor Roy Cooper. Other topics covered: the riot bill, a primer on what a concurrence vote is, the responsibilities of committee conferrees, critical race theory, a budget update, and redistricting.
And if that's not enough, legislative staffer Carl Gilmore (of Skye’s kickball team) makes a cameo appearance.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame and the NC Travel Industry Association.
