This week, the WHQR news team, along with guests from Port City Daily and WECT, break down the major issues and how they shaped the results of Tuesday's election which saw some unexpected upsets for incumbents, strong performances from newcomers, and higher voter turnout than in past years.

Plus, a conversation with UNCW's Dr. Donyell Roseboro, who recently became the University's permanent Chief Diversity Officer.

On this episode we catch up with Chemours' latest ad campaign. Plus, while Chemours is defending itself from numerous lawsuits, local environmental groups are also suing the EPA we'll get into why. Then, the Local Government Commission provides oversight when counties, cities, and towns want to spend big. That includes Project Grace, the purchase of Freeman Park, and the potential state takeover of the Bald Head Island ferry.
On this abbreviated episode we both had to prepare for the coming ice storm we get the latest on the long-running, unsuccessful attempt to redevelop the former WAVE transit depot on Castle Street, plus the county's health board revisited masks, again, with confusing results.
