SALISBURY - NC Representative Harry Warren (R) represents Rowan County in the North Carolina legislature.  Each week Warren produces a newsletter detailing bills that are working through the legislature of particular interest to Rowan County.

Here, unedited, is Warren's latest newsletter:

HB 515 – Amend Credit Union Laws.  This bill addresses various aspects of credit union membership, such as survivorship, joint tenants and accounts with minors.

HB 532 – No Drinking in EMS and Law Enforcement Vehicles. This is an act to make it a crime to operate an ambulance, law enforcement vehicle, or EMS vehicle upon any highway, street or public vehicular area within the state while consuming alcohol or while alcohol remains in the person’s body.

HB 610 – Modify Requirements for In-stand Beer Sales.  This bill reduces the seating capacity requirement and eliminates the population requirement for in-stand sales of malt beverages.  This will amend the General Statute 18B-1009 to allow the sale of malt beverages in the seating areas of stadiums, ballparks and other similar public places with a seating capacity of 3,000 or more (formerly 60,000 or more in cities with a population greater than 450,000) during professional sporting events, provided certain specifications are met.

SALISBURY - A lot of good was done on Thursday in a lot of communities across the country, and right here in Salisbury, by the Keller Williams Real Estate Company.

There are 80,000 KW agents across the US and Canada that gave back to the community with some sort of service project. 

KW agents all over the region did projects similar to Rowan’s Day of Caring.  About 25 agents and some recruited lenders worked at Capstone Recovery Center on W. Innes Street,  trying to get that ministry ready to open its doors.
