Curtis Media reporters Stephanie Hawco and Bruce Ferrell join host Barlow Herget this week to review the news, starting with the possible disposal of the Dorothea Dix Hospital property.  Is it like Jim Hunt's gift to NCSU that's now the very successful Centennial Campus?  Also discussed are the start of filings for elective office this week and who's not filing.  The group notes the revelation of former Senate President Marc Basnight's incurable disease and legislative proposals to close parks in winter and to get the state out of the zoo business.
