Ruben and Chris unpack Hoke County’s $115,000 refund tied to gaming-machine licenses after a legal clampdown and zoning rollback. They press for transparency, suggest FOIA as a tool, and even call out how poor livestream audio erodes public trust. Plus: clear, parent-friendly NC DMV updates, and a quick look at fall parades, festivals, and the Hoke Native American Scholarship Foundation banquet—ending with a teaser for America250 plans next episode.
