RALEIGH, (AP) — A bill allowing local governments to put legal notices on the Internet instead of the local newspaper has been endorsed by a Senate committee.
The Charlotte Observer reported discussion on the bill Tuesday prompted one newspaper supporter to accuse Senate leaders of "targeting the newspaper industry."
An attorney for the North Carolina Press Association, John Bussian, says the bill is an attempt to financially damage newspapers. Legal advertising is a source of revenue for newspapers and is especially important for smaller publications.
Newspaper executives say many people in rural areas would not see the ads if they are only available on the Internet.
Supporters of the measure say it would save money for local governments.
The bill is scheduled for a vote in the full Senate on Thursday. |

RALEIGH, (AP) — State senators have passed a bill closing a loophole in a North Carolina gun laws that allowed a man to avoid felony charges when he opened fire in a Kernersville Walmart last fall.
The full Senate unanimously approved a bill Wednesday that adds criminal penalties for anyone who fires a gun within an occupied building or other structure with the intention of inciting fear.
A Kernersville man set off a panic last October when he fired three times into televisions on display at a local Walmart. He was charged with misdemeanors when authorities determined existing criminal law applies only to shooting into enclosed structures from outside.
Sen. Peter Brunstetter of Lewisville said the bill closes that loophole.
The bill now heads to the House.
