While NC Dems were at 9-11 ceremony GOP ratfu*ks override budget veto.



RALEIGH

In a surprise move Wednesday morning, the N.C. House of Representatives voted to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the state budget with just over half of the 120 members present to vote.

Democrats in the chamber objected to the bill being brought up, saying they were told there would be no votes during the 8:30 a.m. session and that it was just a formality so work could begin. Rep. Jason Saine, a Lincolnton Republican, made the motion to reconsider the state budget and chaos in the chamber quickly ensued.

House Speaker Tim Moore, a Kings Mountain Republican, said that announcement was not made, and even asked the House Clerk to back him up. That prompted an outburst from Rep. Deb Butler, D-New Hanover.

I've been following this most of the day. Finally a thread I can vent on.

‘A New Low’: NC Republicans Override Governor’s Veto While Dems Attended 9/11 Ceremony
https://lawandcrime.com

Many news sites reporting on it as the day goes on. The above article says it won't go over well with the 3 judge court that was giving them a chance for bipartisan redistricting.

Let's hope they screwed themselves worse than they did folks of NC.

Shows what liars and cheaters they are.

And why weren't they at 9/11 ceremonies?... because they're TRAITORS!

And they planned this. Shame on them. And they're proud of it.

Can this be brought to state supreme court? Violation of trust, responsibility, decency?

Also shows what lengths they will go to in order to win. Very bad sign!
From very bad = repugnant politicians.
