While Rep. Terry Brown is a freshman legislator, he's a throwback in many ways as he is known for his preparation and readiness to improve legislation in committees. The Mecklenburg County Democrat talks about why he believes spending more time and focus on marking-up legislation before a floor vote makes for better policy outcomes and bipartisanship.
Rep. Brown also talks about being raised in Fayetteville by his two public school teacher parents, his political start at UNC Charlotte, and the importance of carving out time in his business law practice to represent domestic violence survivors in court.
Brian and Skye also unpack the legislative week, including a revised budget timeline, two vetos, a bill limiting the Attorney General's powers, a House discharge petition, a retirement announcement, the arrival of Do Politics Better merch', and more.
