  • 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.

This year has certainly been like no other and the response and actions from our businesses and citizens alike has been inspiring and revealing of the resilience of Pitt County and its people. While the year as Chairman may have been challenging due to the Pandemic, it still provided the opportunity to work alongside our members, regularly interacting with business of all sizes, non-profits, healthcare, education and local government. In a time of change and challenge, we saw our community rally around local businesses and non-profits more than ever before. Our local educators transitioned over night from teaching as they always have to the virtual classroom. Retailers, restaurants, fitness facilities and cultural venues quickly adapted to offer social media and online sales to continue their work and retain their talented workforce.

No matter the challenge we face, Pitt County and its people continue to pull together and persevere.
