NC legislature looks to rein in Governor's near-limitless emergency power

North Carolina Republican lawmakers say that before the pandemic, nobody thought the state's Emergency Management Act would be used by a governor to wield unilateral power for an entire year.

'Statewide' is defined as covering 67 of the state's 100 counties.
