It’s an honor to work for @NCTreasurer, who is so focused on doing what’s right for the state, its taxpayers, its employees, and its longtime fiscal health — even if that means reducing the power of his own office. (2/3) #NCGA #ncpol

This is serious. Please don’t underfund the Retirement System! We’re the envy of the nation for funding pensions correctly.
Looking forward to this new challenge!

Rocky Mount event center!
I wonder if Charlotte is the only NC city capable of bidding for a DNC or RNC because Greensboro and Raleigh have their big arenas too far outside their downtowns/convention center areas #ncpol
If you are a state employee or teacher on the State Health Plan near Asheville, come by AB Tech on Thursday to get any questions answered you have about changing to Aetna and get free flu shot or some cool swag! (The pictures are from the Raleigh stop last week.)
Novo announced earnings today. ~*$50 billion* so far from Ozempic & Wegovy. $44bn in buybacks & dividends since Ozempic launch. Price ~ 100x production cost. Meanwhile, states like North Carolina are choosing between dropping coverage & doubling premiums on working families.
North Carolina urges HHS to license Novo and Lilly obesity drugs as a way to lower costs statnews.com/pharmalot/2024… via @statnews
Our first hand experience with the financial impact of the cost of these medications:
Since Ozempic's launch: $38 billion: @teamnovonordisk Ozempic/Wegovy revenue. Also $38bn: Novo self-enrichment via buybacks & dividends. That's > double Novo's entire $18bn R&D.🤔 Today, we’re asking Biden-Harris to overcome Novo's patent monopoly & save taxpayers billions.
