State Rep. Bill Owens says the recent legislative session was the most difficult of his career.
Owens, an Elizabeth City Democrat, spoke to his hometown Rotary Club this week about the recently completed legislative session, according to a report in the Daily Advance.
He told the meeting that the state still needs to sort out who should be in charge of public schools, defended the Racial Justice Act, and said negotiations over the state budget made for a difficult session.
"This has been by far the most trying time I've ever had in my career," Owens said.
