  • September 19, 2017 the President the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President
    September 19, 2017 The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We thank you for your attention to advancing pro-life issues since taking office, including giving our states the freedom to direct the spending of our Title X family planning dollars to entities that match our states’ needs and values. Today, we are writing to urge you to give our states similar flexibility in our Medicaid programs. Medicaid is the largest taxpayer funding stream for the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. In fact, according to research by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, Planned Parenthood commands 35% of the abortion market. In the wake of yet another state (South Carolina) seeking the same flexibility with Medicaid dollars, combined with the recent ruling in the 8th Circuit US Court of Appeals approving Arkansas’ decision not to fund abortion providers in their Medicaid program, it is essential that your administration respond quickly. It is time to remove the administrative barrier to our states’ right to direct dollars away from abortion providers: Medicaid guidance issued by the Obama administration.1 We are a coalition of almost two hundred pro-life women lawmakers in forty-three states and at the federal level. We are devoted to measures that enhance the well-being of women and show respect for the intrinsic value of every human life in our states. We have invited other lawmakers to join us on this letter; our male and female colleagues in state legislatures with whom we have gone as far as we can to ‘defund’ abortion providers with the tools we have.

  • Progress Report to Highlight the Issues (I.E
    ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK FOR CLEAN ENERGY? Representatives Dean Arp, John Szoka, and Sam Watford introduced House Bill 589, “Competitive Energy Solutions for North Carolina” during the 2017 session. This bill took small steps towards increasing the role solar plays in the state’s energy mix by creating a competitive bidding process and by expanding rooftop solar. Senator Harry Brown added a moratorium on wind energy projects, claiming NC’s military operations would be under threat by wind turbines. Senator Brown used the once bipartisan supported clean energy bill as an attempt to pit solar against wind. Governor Cooper refused to allow Brown to claim victory: after signing H589 into law, Cooper immediately issued an executive order to the Dept. of Environmental Quality asking for the expedition of wind project permits. No 18-month ban will stop this clean energy source from moving forward. WATER, AIR, AND HEALTH Legislators continued to put the water, air, and health of North Carolinians at risk throughout the 2017 legislative long session. State lawmakers approved a bill that would allow companies to spray “garbage juice” into our air; passed a policy that limits the amount of financial compensation a resident or property owner can receive for detrimental health and livelihood impacts in hog pollution or other nuisance cases; and thumbed their noses at local control over environmental safeguards by prohibiting state regulators from making stricter water quality rules than the federal standards (assuming those even exist). Overall, leaders of the General Assembly showed a lack of empathy for their constituents and clear preference for polluters with deep pockets in 2017.

  • Ch 5 NC Legislature.Indd
    The State Legislature The General Assembly is the oldest governmental body in North Carolina. According to tradition, a “legislative assembly of free holders” met for the first time around 1666. No documentary proof, however, exists proving that this assembly actually met. Provisions for a representative assembly in Proprietary North Carolina can be traced to the Concessions and Agreements, adopted in 1665, which called for an unicameral body composed of the governor, his council and twelve delegates selected annually to sit as a legislature. This system of representation prevailed until 1670, when Albemarle County was divided into three precincts. Berkeley Precinct, Carteret Precinct and Shaftsbury Precinct were apparently each allowed five representatives. Around 1682, four new precincts were created from the original three as the colony’s population grew and the frontier moved westward. The new precincts were usually allotted two representatives, although some were granted more. Beginning with the Assembly of 1723, several of the larger, more important towns were allowed to elect their own representatives. Edenton was the first town granted this privilege, followed by Bath, New Bern, Wilmington, Brunswick, Halifax, Campbellton (Fayetteville), Salisbury, Hillsborough and Tarborough. Around 1735 Albemarle and Bath Counties were dissolved and the precincts became counties. The unicameral legislature continued until around 1697, when a bicameral form was adopted. The governor or chief executive at the time, and his council constituted the upper house. The lower house, the House of Burgesses, was composed of representatives elected from the colony’s various precincts. The lower house could adopt its own rules of procedure and elect its own speaker and other officers.

  • Ted Davis Jr., a Descendent of One of New Hanover's Wealthiest Families
    Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. (R-New Hanover) House District 19 “All I know is that we’re doing something” –Rep. Ted Davis, in response to the Senate’s unwillingness to take up his GenX bill. (WRAL, 1/10/18) Ted Davis Jr., a descendent of one of New Hanover’s wealthiest families, followed an uneventful legal career with an unremarkable tenure as county commissioner. Davis switched affiliation to Republican for political expedi ence in order to run for public office. He was elected to the legislature in 2012 and has largely been a cog in the Raleigh political machine. As such, he failed to deliver anything of note for the Wilmington area, like the return of meaningful film incentives. Davis’ s time in the state House is probably most exemplified by his tenure as Chair of the House Select Committee on River Quality set up to “res pond” to the GenX crisis. In a role meant to give Davis a chance to shine , he has so far doled out taxpayer money to political cronies of Republican leadership and allowed a trade association lobbyist for Chemours , the company responsible for dumping GenX in our drinking water, to write three budget provisions that let the polluter off the hook. Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. Meanwhile Cape Fear Public Utility Authority customers are seeing their bills go up to pay for GenX cleanup and taxpayers are stuck with the bill for more “study” of the problem. Davis ’s inept handling of GenX is just the latest example of his failure to provide meaningful service to the people of his district as he plays follow- the- leader in Raleigh.
