  • 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.

  • “The Only Clear Limitation on Improper Districting Practices”: Using One
    RIGGS FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 4/14/2017 7:41 PM “THE ONLY CLEAR LIMITATION ON IMPROPER DISTRICTING PRACTICES”: USING THE ONE- PERSON, ONE-VOTE PRINCIPLE TO COMBAT PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING ∗ ALLISON J. RIGGS ANITA S. EARLS INTRODUCTION In 2013 and 2015, the North Carolina General Assembly, controlled by a Republican supermajority, passed local bills restructuring Wake County’s Board of Education and Board of County Commissioners, respectively. These bills were passed over the loud objection of the majority of the Wake County delegation and, indeed, the vast majority of the county’s voters. Wake County, home to the capital city of Raleigh and part of the state’s Research Triangle Park, has long been a progressive bastion in the state, with Democratic registration significantly outnumbering Republican registration in the county, and Democratic candidates regularly outperforming Republican candidates. With carefully manipulated district lines, those local bills would have ensured Republican control of both boards, despite the strong Democratic leaning in the county. Critically, in such a heavily Democratic county, the only way that the General Assembly could achieve such a drastic partisan skew was to overpopulate the Democratic-leaning districts and underpopulate the Republican-leaning districts, right up to what the legislature treated as a ten percent total deviation safe harbor. But the Supreme Court’s Copyright © 2017 Allison J. Riggs and Anita S. Earls. ∗ Anita Earls is the Executive Director of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in Durham, North Carolina. Allison Riggs is a senior attorney at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, specializing in voting rights.
