Looking back: The battle for speaker that changed NC politics forever
Last week, the battle over elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made headlines, but it also brought up memories of North Carolina\u2019s very own speaker battle 20 years ago this month. It led to a co-speaker arrangement with a Democrat and a Republican. It also led to high drama, prison time for one of the speakers, and changes that are still being felt today. Three veteran political reporters who were there, Rob Christensen, Gary Robertson and Lynn Bonner, join Tim to talk about the wild times that changed North Carolina politics forever.
