Easley,              Carlton Speak to Statewide Radio Audience | 
       
       The North Carolina News Network (NCNN) will host a statewide radio call-in        (and email-in) show on Monday, March 1, 1999 from 8:06 to 9:00 pm. Attorney        General Mike Easley and attorney Phil Carlton will explain the tobacco settlement        and take questions over the phone and through the NCNN web site concerning        specific areas of concern. 
       Matt Willoughby will moderate this special version of “Capitol Ideas,” which        normally features Governor Jim Hunt. Managing Editor Clayton Henkel commented,        “Tobacco growers and many others connected in some way to this part of        North Carolina’s economy have many questions about what exactly the tobacco        settlement will mean to them. We think this will be a good forum for them        to ask the top people involved.” 
       The call-in phone number is 1-800-849-2761. The web site address is: North        Carolina News Network (http://www.ncnn.com ) for those who would like to        email their questions over the Internet.
