  • 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.

  • State Board of Education Update New Legislative Leaders Named
    January 23, 2017, Issue 660 State Board of Education Update Entering the Legal Fray: State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson plans to join a court battle over a new law that moves power from the State Board of Education to him. Last month, the state board filed suit to block the legislation, House Bill 17, which was approved in a special legislative session in December, and a Superior Court judge enjoined a temporary restraining order to prevent the new law from taking effect Jan. 1. That restraining order will remain in effect until a three-judge panel decides on the legality of the law. Johnson was in court last week as the judges decided when to hold the next hearing in the case. An attorney representing Johnson told the judges they will make a formal notice that Johnson wants to be heard as part of the lawsuit. "The voters of North Carolina entrusted me with the tremendous responsibility to bring the changes we need for our teachers and our children," Johnson told WRAL News after the hearing. Andrew Erteschik, a lawyer representing the State Board of Education, said the board doesn't object to Johnson joining the lawsuit. Under the new law, Johnson would have more flexibility in managing the state's education budget, more power to dismiss senior-level employees, control of the Office of Charter Schools and authority to choose the leader of the new Achievement School District, which will oversee some of the lowest-performing schools in the state. The State Board of Education traditionally has had such authority.

Thom Tillis U.S. Senator 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court Dear Sens. Grassley, Burr & Tillis, We write to express our strong support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As legislators, we have accepted the responsibility to faithfully represent the interests of our constituents in creating the laws that govern our state. We firmly believe that the judiciary’s role is to interpret those laws, not to use the power of the bench to circumvent the legislature and enact preferred policies. Judge Kavanaugh’s decisions throughout his distinguished judicial career make it clear that he will enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the U.S. Constitution. He is a brilliant legal mind with impeccable credentials. On the merits, Judge Kavanaugh is a leading jurist on one of America’s top courts whose opinions are regularly cited throughout the country, and his confirmation should receive unanimous support. We appreciate your work to advance the confirmation of an immensely qualified nominee through the political minefield. We stand ready to assist in any way we can to help ensure Judge Brett Kavanaugh becomes the next U.S.
