Judge Regina M. Joe to Serve in Hoke and Moore Counties’ Superior Court

On Monday, December 4th, Governor Roy Cooper appointed the Honorable Regina M. Joe to the Superior Court in District 19D, serving Hoke and Moore counties. This appointment follows the retirement of Judge James Webb. With a legal career spanning over a decade, including roles as a public defender and in district attorney’s offices, Judge Joe brings extensive experience to her new position. She holds degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Campbell University School of Law. See full story: Sandhills Sentinel

Help Redefine Downtown Carthage: Participate in Town's Surveys

The Town of Carthage is actively seeking public input to help shape the future of its downtown area. With a focus on improving access and enhancing the area's charm, the town, led by planner Jennifer Hunt and consultants, has launched two surveys on their website. These surveys are open to all who interact with downtown Carthage, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. Public meetings are also planned, underlining the town's commitment to inclusive, community-driven development. Access the town surveys here.

What is HB813?

What is HB813? On Friday, Governor Roy Cooper enacted new legislation that introduces more stringent bail regulations, responding to concerns raised by law enforcement agencies statewide regarding low bonds for specific violent crimes. House Bill 813, titled the Pretrial Integrity Act, removes the duty of magistrates to determine bail for certain offenses, marking a significant shift in pretrial procedures.
