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.

Minutes Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee Meeting February 8, 2016 Members Present Senator Fletcher Hartsell, Chair Representative Craig Horn Senator Stan Bingham Representative Becky Carney Senator Don Davis Representative Nelson Dollar Senator Valeria Foushee Representative Pat Hurley Senator Ralph Hise Representative Marvin Lucas Senator Louis Pate Representative Ted Davis Senator Shirley Randleman Representative Rena Turner Senator Joyce Waddell Advisory Members Senator Rick Gunn Senator Joyce Krawiec Call to Order Senator Fletcher Hartsell, Chair, called the meeting to order. Representative Becky Carney moved to approve the January y 11, 2016 Minutes. Motion carried. Presentations and Comments Senator Hartsell recognized Kelly Tornow, Legislative Analysis Division, to explain the draft legislation which is based on the PED report on Overnight Respite Services. This draft legislation amends Session Law 2015-52 to eliminate the PED follow-up study of the pilot program and also requires DHHS to report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Health and Human Services on the status of the overnight respite licensure process. It also directs the UNC School of Government to develop pilot standards and the Office of State Budget and Management to adopt and implement rules with which future General Assembly-directed pilot projects must comply in order to provide meaningful information for the Legislature. Senator Pate asked why we were using the School of Government. John Turcotte, Director of PED, said that the School of Government is classified as part of the Legislature and has experts that operate in advisory capacity. Senator Waddell moved to adopt the bill for introduced; seconded by Senator Bingham. Motion carried.

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.

NAACP Voter Guide: Who’S with You?
NAACP Voter Guide: Who’s With You? ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES The Republican legislators who now control the NC General Assembly got elected in 2010 when most voters stayed home. They redrew their districts to make it easier to get re-elected in 2012. Then they passed dozens of laws that hurt North Carolina: they gave tax breaks to the rich but big cuts to public education, health care, unemployment assistance, and more. They also want to make it harder for you to vote. It all began in 2010 when they won with support from just 1 out of 4 eligible voters, because most voters didn’t show up. DON’T SIT OUT 2014!

State of North Carolina in the General Court of Justice Superior Court Division County of Wake 18 Cvs 014001
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION COUNTY OF WAKE 18 CVS 014001 COMMON CAUSE, et al., Plaintiffs, PLAINTIFFS’ SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF v.

US 164717213v1 On March 25, 2019, this Court granted Plaintiffs’ First Motion to Compel in part, ordered Legislative Defendants’ to provide “complete responses” to certain document requests and “complete answers” to certain interrogatories by April 3, and held open Plaintiffs’ request for fees and costs in connection with Plaintiffs’ First and Second Motions to Compel “to consider the matter if Legislative Defendants fail to comply with the terms of this Order.” Plaintiffs submit this supplemental brief to report that Legislative Defendants’ further discovery responses of April 3 remain woefully deficient and incomplete. Legislative Defendants should be ordered to remedy certain of these deficiencies. And it is now exceedingly clear that Plaintiffs are entitled to an award fees and costs for the substantial time they have been forced to devote to address Legislative Defendants’ failure to participate in routine civil discovery. BACKGROUND This Court’s March 25, 2019 Order granted Plaintiffs’ First Motion to Compel in part. With respect to Plaintiffs’ First Set of RFPs, this Court ordered Legislative Defendant, “subject to any bona fide assertions of privilege or immunity,” to “produce all records responsive to Plaintiffs’ requests for production” by April 3.

State of North Carolina County of Wake in The
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION COUNTY OF WAKE FILE NO.: 19-CVS-0025 MARK E. HARRIS, ) Petitioner ) ) v. ) ) THE NORTH CAROLINA ) PETITIONER MARK E. HARRIS' BIPARTISAN STATE BOARD OF ) MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT ELECTIONS AND ETHICS ) OF A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ENFORCEMENT a/k/a THE ) NORTH CAROLINA STATE ) BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND ) ETHICS ENFORCEMENT, ) Respondent ) In response to this Court's invitation for briefing, Dr. Mark E. Harris ("Dr. Harris") submits this Memorandum of Law in Support of his Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the Executive Director of the North Carolina Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement (the "Bipartisan Board") to issue a Certificate of Election immediately. In the alternative, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the North Carolina State Board of Elections (the "State Board") to issue a Certificate of Election as soon as it is able. In addition, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the staff of the Bipartisan Board to release any investigation materials or report into election irregularities in North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District (the "Ninth District"), so as to remove the cloud that the Board has placed over Dr. Harris' election. INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2018, the Bipartisan Board dissolved. The General Assembly has created no immediately active successor. The Bipartisan Board's dissolution leaves the State without any body to oversee its election laws. The gap created by the Bipartisan Board's dissolution has thrown the 2018 general election cycle—a cycle that should have ended no later than December 28, 2018—into chaos.
