Wilmington, NC – All this month, WHQR News is talking with experts in a variety of fields, looking for a glimpse into what this new year will bring the region.
We start talking politics. 2010 may not seem like a big election year, but for residents of the Cape Fear region, there will be some open seats due to a number of lawmakers calling it quits.
Laura Leslie covers North Carolina for North Carolina Public Radio WUNC and other public radio stations across the state. She says someone who will have a huge impact on who wins those open seats hear along the coast is former Majority Leader Tony Rand.
