Governor mccrory declaring victory in his battle with legislative leaders in the fight over coal ash cleanup. The governor telling the state panel in charge of overseeing the closure of duke energys coal ash ponds. Their services were no longer needed. Joel brown joins us from the Raleigh Eyewitness News Center with more. Heres the letter from governor mccrorys office. Sent to the Coal Ash Management Commission basically telling commission members, thanks for your service. But the mccrory administration. Will handle coal ash management North Carolinas Coal Ash Management Commission was formed out of the outrage over duke energys massive coal ash spill in the dan river. Republican leaders in the General Assembly openly doubted the department of environmental quality, led by governor mccrory appointees. To police duke and oversee the closure of the companys 32 coal ash ponds. To provide oversight for deq, to help make sure all the coal ash near our communities gets cleaned up properly. But governor mccrory sued. Accusing the legislature of overstepping its Constitutional Authority arguing before the state Supreme Court. That the job of appointing the commission was his alone. Mccrory won support from former governors on both sides of the aisle. I hope very much the court will rule in the governors favor all the governors whove served would be on this side. In late january the Supreme Court sided with mccrory. Now word tonight, the states Coal Ash Commission is no more. The governors letter to the commission effectively put business. In a statement to Eyewitness News. A mccrory adminstration official says the North CarolinaSupreme Court made it clear that the commission is an unconstitutional body that cannot take any action. However, there will be absolutely no change in the department of environmental qualitys implementation of the coal ash management act. The Supreme Court decided that the legislative appointments to the Coal Ash Commission were unconstitutional not the body itself. So, its unclear on what basis the governor thinks he has the authority to dismantle a commission created by the legislature. It is still unclear tonight whether governor mccrory intends to appoint his own picks for a brand new Coal Ash Commission. Or whether hell leave the task of coal ash oversight, completely to staffers at the department of environmental quality. Turning now to vote 2016. Hillary Clinton picking up more delegates tonight.

The tar heels went into the locker room at the half in the pnc arena tonight. Mark armstrong, tell us all about it. Reporter we saw the good and the bad tar heels tonight and in the process roy williams eclipsing dean smith on one front. Plus the story from providence where duke also needed to turn it up in the second half to get stick around for sports. [content sigh] ah, excuse me . Mr. Jones . Hi. Already . You booked an appointment. I just started cookin. We at Time Warner Cable need to apologize to you. I havent even started to bronze yet. We no longer give you an excuse to work all day perfecting your tan. Starting to even it out. Were making a bunch of changes at Time Warner Cable. Including onehour arrival windows. Well also tell you how long all right. Welcome back, everybody. The first half with the tar heels tonight was maybe their worst of the season. They were up by just one point by 16 seed florida gulf coast. The second half a completely different story. Game passing dean smith. The story was Bryce Johnson and his human helicopter act in the second act. Count them eight blocks with 17 rebounds. Joel barry with 14 points. Tarheels showing the team that could go out early in this tournament and the team that could potentially win it all. All the coaches were getting on us. Davis was just so mad. He didnt even say anything. We just had to go out there and play better. We know were a better team. Playing with more effort and being the aggressor. We were back on our heels the whole first half but in the second half we were the aggressor. I hit a shot right out of the gate and it was a quick 50 blitz. Coach gets on me because he knows what i can do. Took a while for me to realize isaiah knows it now. 26 ncaa tournaments now. Duke got a run for its money from the seahawks at uncw today. A couple of uncw players said they would not be intimidated against duke. Their play backed it up with a seven point lead at one point. But then duke got to business. The mask had to come off. Broken nose he made a physical statement, then a verbal one with his team trailing at halftime. I just wasnt myself and theres no excuse for my play. There was some locker room that ill keep in the locker room. Im really proud of the way my teammates rallied. Any kind of timidness we had went away. The defense intensity was ratcheted up and the tide was turned in their favor for good. In the second half we were very good. Really good. We have to be. Obviously it wasnt our plan to come out all sluggish like we did but it happened and we cant have that happen again. I think whats hard in the second half was marshall coming over getting those two blocks like he did and allowing us to get the rebounds and push the transition. I felt like that got our groove going. Coach will be happy with who theyll face next. Yale upsetting baylor so theyll face another higher seeded team on saturday. Yale versus duke, a lot of people having fun with that one. What a start. Scoring opened less than a minute into the game. Canes with the lead. Tied at 2 in the second period. Said sid crosby with his 30th goal of the season. The all right. Thank you.
