The voice of Raleigh—from legislation to libations, we take you inside the issues, events & flavors that matter most to our city.

Look closely at the Stanley Cup, and you'll notice Look closely at the Stanley Cup, and you'll notice a few non-team members' names etched in. 👀 Canes owner Tom Dundon included six of his family members—his wife Veruschka and their five children Caden, Dax, Drew, Blake and Tagan—as part of the 55 names that are eligible to be engraved on the Cup. They're located at the very top of the list, followed by members of the front office, coaches and players. And let's just say Canes fans are up in arms about it...⁠
⁠
But Dundon wasn't the first to engrave his family members' names on Lord Stanley. The Florida Panthers reportedly did the same last season, with five members from the Viola family included (although they all held titles), and, per The Athletic, the Detroit Red wings etched nine members of the Ilitch family onto the Cup after their 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008 titles, though all served as part-owners or team vice president.⁠
⁠
So what do you think? Do Dundon's wife and five kiddos deserve to have their names etched on the Cup—or was it a miss to not include individuals more closely involved in the Canes org? Sound off in the comments! 👇⁠

Party foul? A party bus hit three vehicles before Party foul? A party bus hit three vehicles before running into a house at the intersection of Person and Pace streets early Saturday morning. According to RPD, the driver was driving with a revoked license and was under the influence of alcohol. He was previously arrested for a hit-and-run in June and had a pending DWI charge from April. 

One person was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the driver has been charged with a DWI, reckless driving to endanger and two counts of injury to real property.

In a win for local fans, ticket-buying is about to In a win for local fans, ticket-buying is about to become more transparent. As part of the NC budget, a new law will go into effect applying to live entertainment tickets sold or resold on or after Oct. 1. The new protections will:⁠
⁠
🎟️ Require upfront ticket pricing⁠
🎟️ Ban speculative ticket sales⁠
🎟️ Strengthen restrictions on ticket-buying bots⁠
🎟️ Require resale marketplaces to clearly disclose when consumers are buying resale tickets⁠
⁠
The provision comes after Senate Bill 849, aka the “Real Tickets, Real Fans Act,” which was added to the budget after it failed legislative approval as a standalone bill.⁠
