Bill Restoring Right to Sue In State Court Sent to Governor [Update: Gov Signs It]

Posted on July 5, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

Equality NC Director/ Rep. Chris Sgro was unhappy with adjournment being called and that the other 75 representatives in attendance voted to adjourn:

20 of us voted against adjournment, since we didn’t solve the biggest problem in the state by #RepealHB2#ncga#ncpol

— Chris Sgro (@cristoferosgro) July 2, 2016

Apparently, Rep. Sgro was unaware one of his non-profit’s biggest complaints about HB 2 was neutered.

The Wages of #HB2 Appeasement

Posted on July 1, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

Apparently, the NBA is an official elected body in the state of North Carolina. Or at least that is how they are being treated by ‘NCGA leadership’ and Governor McCrory who have been in ‘private’ and closed door discussions with the NBA over changes to HB2.

Now we learn a second draft with additional changes to HB2 in in play that includes a ‘ blue ribbon commission’.

You cannot appease anyone or anything whose primary goal is your complete destruction. Continue reading →

NCDP African-American Caucus: Keever Disenfranchised Us; Files Suit In Wake Cty

Earlier in June, I wrote about a petition filed by various members of the NC Democrat African-American Caucus to remove the Party Chair, Patsy Keever.

The very lengthy list of charges against Keever include holding unconstitutional conventions, violating the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchising North Carolina African-American Voters.

No media covered the story then and no media is covering it now, except this one as noted in a press release from the Director of BlacVotesCount. This media blackout continues despite members of the NCDP African-American Caucus contacting multiple media outlets in the state. Continue reading →

A bill making quite a few changes to how Charter schools operate in North Carolina will be sent to the Governor for signature.
