Businesses around Fort Bragg are facing a challenge. The fort and other military installations once named for Confederate figures from the Civil War were rebranded under the Biden administration – Fort Bragg became Fort Liberty. But a couple of months after Ralph Rodriguez opened Fort Liberty Pawn & Gun, the Defense Department changed the name back to Fort Bragg. Now Rodriguez is changing signs, uniforms, stationery and government paperwork, costing about $30,000, and other businesses face the same problem.

Josh Stein announced 80 new license examiners in hopes to speed up services at N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles offices across the state. The move comes as the federal government began enforcing Real ID across the country this month.
