NC Judge Orders Raleigh Wedding Photographer to Pay $1.7M After Failing to Deliver Services

A North Carolina judge has ordered Holly Christina Photography to pay nearly $1.7 million in refunds and civil penalties after the company failed to deliver paid-for wedding photos and videos to hundreds of clients. The ruling follows a default judgment motion by the state Attorney General, who cited over 220 consumer complaints and the owners' failure to comply with previous court orders to return footage or issue refunds. The owners, Holly and Christopher Ayscue, were barred from accepting future advance payments and must deliver all remaining assets to clients.

Senate GOP Abandons North Carolina, Shifts Millions to Defend Kansas

The Senate Leadership Fund has halted all remaining ad spending in North Carolina, redirecting resources to Kansas to protect incumbent Roger Marshall. This move reflects a strategic pivot as Republicans concede a likely loss in North Carolina, where Michael Whatley trails Roy Cooper, and focus on defending their Senate majority in a state where Democrat Adam Hamilton is running surprisingly close.

UNC and Three ACC Rivals Seek Loopholes in Senate’s College Sports Bill

UNC and Three ACC Rivals Seek Loopholes in Senate’s College Sports Bill

North Carolina, Florida State, Miami, and Clemson have formally requested Congress to modify the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA) to ease conference realignment restrictions. The schools oppose the bill’s current provisions, which cap power conferences at 20 members and mandate a three-year independent status for teams switching leagues. While the bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support, these institutions argue the rules unfairly penalize schools that have already negotiated exit terms. The request highlights a growing rift between the ACC and other power conferences, as the legislation moves to the House for further debate.
