    NC could ban balloon releases under new bill
    Public Radio East
    An eastern North Carolina Republican State Senator has introduced a bill to ban balloon releases statewide, and wildlife and environmental groups are applauding the move. Currituck County State Senator Bobby Hanig’s Senate Bill 20 would make the intentional release of balloons illegal, with a fine of $250 per balloon for violations.
