With print papers across the nation moving toward regional and national consolidation, local news is harder to come by in smaller communities. “Magic Mile Media launched Neuse News in 2018 out of frustration with a lack of community backyard news the way it used to be told 60 years ago,” said BJ Murphy, owner of Magic Mile Media, Inc. and publisher of Neuse News. With the help of Magic Mile Media, Lexington-based DavidsonLocal.com launches on Monday, April 5, and already has over 250 daily subscribers. In less than two and a half years of publication, Neuse News has 5,000 daily subscribers. The all-digital local news model, based on the experiences of Neuse News, will feature current events, investigative pieces, and more local content for Davidson County, NC.

NC State Senator Jim Perry (R - Lenoir, Wayne) issues an op-ed on how the State of North Carolina should handle tax liability associated with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). “The State of NC shouldn’t think about these extraordinary events through the lens of normal operations. We shouldn’t saddle business people with a surprise state tax liability just because they helped distribute federal stimulus dollars to the people of North Carolina. I worked with Senator Chuck Edwards and Senator Dave Craven to file Senate Bill 104 requiring that NC not burden small business owners who participated in the Paycheck Protection Program.”
