Finally, a politician in Washington with something good to say.
On Monday in the United States House of Representative, Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) praised retiring NASCAR star Tony Stewart on his career and on his charitable and philanthropic works.

A North Carolina congressman is hoping a new Congress, a new president and a new year will translate into fewer restrictions on carrying concealed guns across state lines.
Currently a concealed carry permit for a handgun issued in one state is not always valid in another.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Soldiers who fought for America in Iraq and Afghanistan said military dogs have saved their lives by sniffing out bombs buried underground.
One soldier told Channel 9 anchor Allison Latos the Army didn't keep a promise that he could adopt his dog.
Specialist Brad Perry showed Latos video of the first day he met his Army partner, Bodi.
Bodi was what's known as a TEDD, or Tactical Explosive Detection Dog. The two spent almost 11 months in Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011, where Bodi sniffed out IEDs.
