North Carolina government officials have downgraded a projected state revenue surplus through mid-2025 by $430 million. But even with the change the state expects nearly $1 billion more to enter its coffers. Economists working for Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s administration and at the Republican-controlled legislature revealed the changes to the previous consensus revenue forecast Friday. They attribute the adjustment to recent business tax changes that made personal income tax refunds higher than anticipated and final payments lower than expected. April tax numbers are usually the most volatile. It’s unclear if the lower overcollections will turn legislators more cautious about additional spending or a potential income tax rebate.

A Virginia school board has voted to restore the names of Confederate military leaders to a high school and an elementary school four years after the names were removed. Shenandoah County’s school board voted 5-1 early Friday to rename Mountain View High School as Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary as Ashby Lee Elementary. Friday’s vote reverses a decision by the school board in 2020, a time when school systems across Virginia and the South were removing Confederate names from schools and other public locations in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Board members who voted Friday to restore the Confederate names say the previous school board ignored popular sentiment and due process when the names were stripped.

Prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money case say they expect to call just two more witnesses, laying the ground to possibly rest their case next week. The announcement came after witness testimony concluded for the day, capping a feverish week in court. Madeleine Westerhout, a former Trump White House aide, was among witnesses who took the stand on Friday. Prosecutors say Trump and others schemed to influence the 2016 presidential election by buying and burying negative stories that might hurt his campaign. He is accused of falsifying internal business records to cover up hush money payments by logging them as legal expenses. He has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts.
