CEO Brad Wilson, on the state's Affordable Care Act marketplace, from which two major insurance have dropped out after reporting unsustainable losses. BCBSNC will decide whether to remain this month. THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 9/09/16 Table of Contents - The Insider for September 12, 2016 • News Summary • Legislative Studies and Meetings • N.C. Government Meetings and Hearings • N.C. Utilities Commission Hearing Schedule • UNC Board of Governors • Other Meetings and Events of Interest News Summary Special Legislative Election Voters who successfully sued to strike down nearly 30 North Carolina General Assembly districts told a federal court Friday they want new maps drawn by late January and a special legislative election sometime in 2017. The lawyers for the voters filed a short report laying out an accelerated schedule they want the legislature to follow to replace the current boundaries. Republican legislative leaders, through their attorneys, offered their own competing proposal earlier Friday that would give them until next July to enact new maps and until November 2018 to hold elections, which would be in keeping with the current biennial schedule. A three-judge panel last month determined 19 House and nine Senate districts were illegal racial gerrymanders. The judges decided it was too late in the election cycle to redraw new maps and conduct elections under them in November, so instead they directed the General Assembly to retool the districts in the 2017-2018 session.

    Democracy South 105 W. Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510 919-967-9942 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soft Money Hits Home You don’t have to be a billionaire trying to win a pardon to care about soft money. If you worry about the air your child breathes or the high cost of prescription drugs, if you worry about exorbitant bank fees and credit card interest rates or the prospect of your teenager getting addicted to cigarettes, then you should care about the soft money from wealthy Tar Heel donors. Soft money refers to the political donations given to the national parties in unlimited amounts from almost any source, primarily corporations, unions and wealthy individuals. Many checks are for $100,000 or more. The Federal Election Commission says soft-money committees of the Republican Party raised $244 million in the 2000 election, edging out the $243 million raised by the Democrats. Soft money is supposed to help the party, not particular candidates, and the donors say they don’t expect anything in return for their big checks. But no one really believes either statement. “Everyone knows big checks get noticed,” says Edward A. Kangas, chair of the accounting firm Deloitte Touche. For many business leaders, he says, the “soft-money shakedown . looks like extortion to us.” John H. Bryan, chief executive of Sara Lee calls the fundraising racket “legalized bribery,” and says, “Everyone knows the system is absurd.” Both men are leaders in the Committee for Economic Development, a business-backed group that favors banning soft money, while tripling the hard-money limit on donations to federal candidates to $3,000 – a move most reformers oppose.

  • North Carolina: Color the Tar Heels Federal Red and State Blue
    North Carolina: Color the Tar Heels Federal Red and State Blue Charles Prysby1 The 2004 elections in North Carolina resembled those in 1996 and 2000 in many ways. The candidates changed in a number of races, and some of the outcomes were different, but nevertheless there was a fundamental similarity among these three election years. Republicans carried the state by comfortable margins in all three presidential elections, and they had an advantage in each of the congressional elections as well. Even so, Democrats won all three gubernatorial elections and maintained control of state govern- ment. Thus, North Carolina in 2004 was once again both red and blue, depending on whether one looked at federal or at state election results. Election results for 1996, 2000, and 2004 are summarized in Table 1. Republican strength was clearly greatest in presidential elections, even in 2004, when the presence of North Carolina’s Senator John Edwards as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate was thought by some observers to make North Carolina a potentially competitive state. Congressional elections displayed a Republican edge but were more competitive. Republicans won both the 1996 and 2004 U.S. Senate elections by narrow margins, and the U.S. House seats were divided only slightly in favor of the Republicans in both 2000 and 2004. Republican success in federal elections did not carry over to state elections. The best performance by a Republican gubernatorial candidate was in 2000, when Richard Vinroot won 46 percent of the vote. Democrats won most of the other council of state races in all three years, and they captured a majority of the seats in both houses of the state legislature each time, with the exception of the state house in 1996.

  • 13 Ways of Looking at a State Lottery
    (WITH APOLOGIES TO THE POET, WALLACE STEVENS) by John Manuel Executive Summary back to the American colonies, which used a lottery to help support The troopshistory during of publicthe Revolutionary lotteries in War.the UnitedSince then,States lotteries goes allhave the peri-way odically surfaced as a means of providing money for education and other pur- poses-particularly in times of war or soon after, when public dollars were scarce. Soon after the Revolutionary War, Yale, Harvard, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tapped temporary lotteries to construct college dormitories, including UNC's South Building. Another round of lotteries sur- faced after the Civil War. But these early lotteries were project-related. They tended to wither when the buildings were built or when public scandal forced officials to abandon them as a revenue source. They were not sources of con- tinuing funding of governments, and tickets were pricey for the times-aimed at the wealthy rather than the typical day laborer. Today, the lottery picture is somewhat different, as 37 states and the District of Columbia operate some type of lottery. Funds from these lotteries are either earmarked for various state government programs or go directly into general funds for any state program. North Carolina is among the 13 states that do not operate a lottery, although bills to create a lottery have been introduced in the legislature every session since 1983. State lawmakers have raised moral, political, and practical objec- tions to the lottery, but a series of events in neighboring states has renewed the hopes of lottery supporters and placed additional pressures on the state to act.
