    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.

    North Carolina Legislative Update, January 11, 2019

    North Carolina Legislative Update, January 11, 2019 01.11.2019 State legislators returned to Raleigh this week to begin the 2019 session. This year’s session, which is called the “long session,” is expected to last through the summer as members enact a two-year budget and consider hundreds of bills. Republicans continue to hold majorities in both houses, but after the 2018 election, their majorities are no longer veto proof. They hold a 29-21 majority in the Senate and 65-55 in the House. A number of seats are held by newcomers—13 Senators and 26 Representatives. The chief business for opening day was election of leadership. Both chambers elected many of the same leaders as the past session. The Senate reelected Senator Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) as President Pro Tem and Senator Ralph Hise (R-Mitchell) as Deputy President Pro Tem. Senator Dan Blue (D-Wake) was reelected as Democratic leader. The House reelected Representative Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) as Speaker and Representative Sarah Stevens (R-Surry) as Speaker Pro Tem. Representative Darren Jackson (D-Wake) was reelected as Democratic leader. Senior Chairs of the House Appropriations Committee will be Representatives Jason Saine (R-Lincoln), Linda Johnson (R-Cabarrus), and Donny Lambeth (R-Forsyth). The Chairs of the House Finance Committee will be Representatives Julia Howard (R-Davie), Mitchell Setzer (R-Catawba), and John Szoka (R-Cumberland). Representative David Lewis (R-Harnett) will remain Chairman of the House Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations of the House. Three Senators will continue to chair the Appropriations/Base Budget committee.

    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!
