DURHAM N.C. — Bill Holman, director of state policy for Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, will be among the panelists featured on the Sunday (Nov. 21) broadcast of NC SPIN.

The program, which tackles a variety of issues facing North Carolina, will air the second part of its two-part series on NC H20, an October conference focused on water issues in the state.
