#NC legislative chiefs who rammed through extensive changes under cover of disaster relief — in hours —also included a provision that would keep local governments on the coast from protecting residents from flood risks. Bill drafted in secret and sprung on most legislators (both parties) left no time for public awareness or input #NCPol Via Port City Daily https://portcitydaily.com/latest-news/2024/12/03/new-bill-casts-doubt-on-local-governments-ability-to-implement-flood-ordinance-changes/

More major, potentially sweeping changes being rushed through by #NC’s ruling GOP with no time for citizens to even hear about them, much less have a say. NC voters are losing power and voice — there are seemingly no checks on legislative leaders. #NCPol https://www.wral.com/story/nc-republicans-roll-out-last-minute-constitutional-amendments-before-losing-supermajority/21749892/

North Carolina's General Assembly has added to its own power each session since Republicans took control in 2010, and maybe most people tune it out, but this is a doozy. In the end it's the people of NC who are losing power. This time, nullifying power for state leaders just elected by voters. Bills written in secret and rushed to votes, leaving no way for people to know about — much less have a voice — in what is being done. We have an imperial legislature. #NC #NCPol https://ncnewsline.com/2024/11/19/nc-republican-lawmakers-move-to-curb-power-of-statewide-offices-won-by-democrats/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGrOFJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHW5u2oZcvVRkhuysN9grbKoMkznSpPkPCSMP_44imxEU2h7qNJtTbDDURw_aem_ebNOBn3k6lyivffO8uxvTg
