Summary
The North Carolina House passed a controversial bill allocating $227 million for Hurricane Helene relief while including provisions to reduce powers of the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general.
Critics, including Democrats, called it a “power grab,” citing changes like stripping the governor’s control over the State Board of Elections and limiting the attorney general’s ability to challenge state laws or advocate for utility customers.
Republicans defended the bill as necessary, but some GOP lawmakers opposed it.
The bill now heads to the Senate and may face a gubernatorial veto.
Not advocating for this… But realistically - shouldn’t Republicans be worried folks with terminal illnesses could start getting creative with how they interact with judges and politicians in their final days?
No. They’ve got the cops on their side, while liberals are too busy screaming at Trans people for costing them the election
