By RR[X] May 31, 2026. It is almost midnight when Ajoké , a witness for the Women State Trafficking report, writes to me to say she has been arrested. It is the second time since she began her journey a few years ago. She had left her homeland in sub-Saharan Africa, fleeing violence and abuse. Once again, Ajoké was intercepted at sea.  The first time, she was arrested by the Tunisian National Guard (GNT), an internal military security force under the Ministry of the Interior. She was savagely beaten, imprisoned in the El Meguissem barracks, and raped. Then she was

(The Center Square) – Approval for a $310 million project at the Lenovo Center is expected Tuesday from a state authority with oversight responsibility on debut issued by public authorities in North Carolina. The Raleigh arena, home of the Stanley Cup finalist Carolina Hurricanes, is managed by the Centennial Authority. It seeks approval from the Local Government Commission of $200 million in bond anticipation notes to continue expansion and improvement projects, and $110 million in revenue bonds to provide permanent financing paying off the first phase of construction. The commission, chaired by first-term Republican state Treasurer Brad Briner, has oversight for taxpayer money in more than 1,100 local government units. The panel analyzes whether the amount of money units borrow is adequate and reasonable for proposed projects and confirms the governmental units can reasonably afford to repay the debt. “Lenovo Center hosts hundreds of events every year, from N.C. State men’s basketball to Hurricanes hockey to world-class touring acts and family shows,“ said Chairman Philip Isley of the Centennial Authority. “These enhancements will help us continue to bring top entertainment and events to Raleigh.” The Hurricanes trail the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1 entering Tuesday’s Game 4 in Las Vegas. Game 5 is in Raleigh on Thursday. If necessary, a Game 7 would be in Raleigh next week on Wednesday. The arena, opened in 1999, plans a closure in July and August for eight weeks and the event listings after the hockey playoffs are without a ticketed event until Oct. 4. N.C. State men’s basketball also calls Lenovo its home arena; the NCAA's first playing date is Nov. 10 and the Wolfpack is usually home once if not twice in the opening week. The next phase of enhancements will include expanded facades and grand lobby areas for new primary entries on the East and West sides; a beer hall and restaurant with access open 365 days a year; a new team store three times the size of its cramped space on the main level; and an overhaul of the PNC Club Level Arena Club. Bathroom renovations are also planned. “When this project is complete, Lenovo Center is going to look and feel like an entirely different building, inside and out,” said Brian Fork, CEO of Hurricanes Holdings. “Every person who comes to this building is going to have a first-class experience to match the top venues in the NHL.” Also on Tuesday’s agenda of the commission is an update on the city of Rocky Mount’s financial outlook; an update on last July’s resolution enabling local governments to refund debt more quickly under certain conditions; and 19 other requests of significance such as Greensboro’s $220 million in revenue bonds for water and wastewater infrastructure. The meeting gavels in at 1:30 p.m.

(The Center Square) – Georgia's fuel tax collections in May were $196.6 million lower when compared to last year, in part because of a two-month fuel tax suspension approved by state lawmakers and second-term Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. Overall state tax collections were down 12.6% from May 2025, totaling $339.1 million, as other tax collections also declined, according to information from Kemp's office. Individual income tax collections decreased by $97.7 million. Corporate income tax revenue dropped by $60.5 million, a 50% decline. The state also experienced a $1 million decline in tag, tax and title fee collections and $4.6 million less in title ad valorem tax collections. Sales taxes were up by 7.4%, or $117.9 million, when compared to last year. Net tax revenue collections are up year-to-date when compared to last year by $344.6 million and are at $30.8 billion for the 2026 fiscal year, according to the governor's office. May is the 11th month of Georgia's fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. Gov. Brian Kemp extended the fuel tax suspension for two additional weeks after it expired on May 20, citing a state of emergency amid soaring gas prices due to the conflict in Iran. He is asking state lawmakers to approve the extension when they meet in a special session on June 17. Motor fuel tax funds transportation projects in Georgia. The Center Square was unsuccessful prior to publication getting comment from Kemp on details of a specific plan to recoup revenue losses from the sales tax suspension. Georgia's budget is already lean. Kemp slashed $344 million from it after lawmakers approved a drop in the state's income tax. An analysis by the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute shows the state had about $15 billion in reserves when the legislative session started, according to the report. It was split between the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, which had about $6 billion, and undesignated overflow at $9 million. Lawmakers approved $6.2 billion through mid-year budget adjustments. The gas tax suspension, tax rebates and $4 billion of infrastructure projects will decrease reserves from $15 billion to $9 billion, according to the report. Kemp warned lawmakers that the state is still short of revenues to meet the fiscal year 2027 budget. "When I introduced my balanced budget recommendation in January, it was based on a general fund revenue estimate of $36.6 billion," Kemp said as he signed the budget. "With the tax cuts the General Assembly passed, and I signed into law yesterday, the state must now address a reduction in revenue for this coming fiscal year of nearly $1 billion, and that’s assuming we don’t have an economic downturn."
