Goodbye Thom Tillis and hello Tim Moore. This week the North Carolina House of Representatives elected Rep. Tim Moore of Cleveland County as the new Speaker of the House while the Senate re-elected Phil Berger of Rockingham County as Senate Leader. You'll hear some of Speaker Moore's remarks. Then host Donna Martinez gets analysis of Moore from Carolina Carolina Journal Managing editor Rick Henderson. The two also talk about an ethics complaint filed against Gov. Pat McCrory by a liberal advocacy group, why some Republicans are mad at Congresswoman Renee Ellmers, and more accolades for new Sen. Thom Tillis. Then Martinez talks with Lt. Gov. Dan Forest as he begins his third year in office. They discuss his priorities and why he's planning to seek re-election.
