North Carolina’s new $300 billion state budget contains a provision that gives extraordinary investigative powers to a partisan oversight committee co-chaired by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R) and House Speaker Tim Moore (R). The Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations — or Gov Ops for short — is empowered to seize “any document or system of record” from anyone who works in or with state and local government during its investigations. The rule applies to contractors, subcontractors, and any other non-state entity “receiving, directly and indirectly, public funds,” including charities and state universities.
Fuck you.
fair enough. I don’t really mean it but man if absolutely anyone votes for this guy or anyone who votes for the bill. They should consider themselves bendover buddies. You can’t allow shit like this and then wave the flag and present a pocket constitution like you mean any of it.
Well at least some of us can read the snark. You had me in that first moment though.
oh yeah I could not keep the sarcasm bottled up on this one. a bit meaner than usual for me to post publically. Man that law is some bs. This is not how you keep violence off the streets.
Everyone I know here in NC that is informed is desperately sick of these fuckers, but there is so little we can do. Even when we manage to vote blue, we have a fucking turncoat who switches to GOP and lets them get away with horse shit like this. Send help please
yeah. I realize ya all are not necessarily like that. sorry for the shade and keep up the fight.
