RALEIGH - Unilever PLC has decided to separate its ice cream business, which it started in 1922, citing future growth benefits for both entities. State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell praised this move, stating that North Carolina's Investment Management Division would assess whether this separation aligns with the state's "Divestment From Companies Boycotting Israel" statutes. This decision follows DST's inclusion of Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc., and its affiliates, including Unilever PLC, in the list of companies subject to divestment due to their boycott of Israel.

Former host of Front Row with Marc Rotterman on PBSNC, Marc Rotterman, and Old School Productions (OSP) have filed a verified complaint in Wake County Superior Court to compel PBS North Carolina (PBSNC) to comply with their open records request, which was submitted over two-and-a-half months ago. The request was related to the recent cancellation of the highly popular political panel discussion show, which the complaint alleges was due to the show moving too far to the right. Attorney Kieran J. Shanahan of Shanahan Law Group, PLLC, representing OSP and Rotterman, claims that PBSNC has chosen to stonewall a legitimate public records request, prompting the legal action.
