On the Local News Roundup, Charlotte City Council revisits an old issue and decides — again — to vote yes on extending their terms from two to four years. Now the question becomes will you say no — again — or yes?

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who said she wouldn’t challenge her old boss if he ran again, is challenging her old boss in a run for president, calling for “generational change.”

In Raleigh, the House overwhelmingly approves a plan to expand Medicaid.

And you may see a CMS bond on the ballot in November with a whopping $3 billion price tag.

Our roundtable of reporters fills us in on those stories and more.
