Lets see, The GOP hold a late night/early Morning session, to try to override a few Veto Bills. The main one was the Racial Justice Act, which the GOP make it sound these folks would be simply able to walk out of prisons which isn’t so.
But, they instead they vote on and override the NCAE bill,
Just after 1 a.m. today, in a secreted session critics called unconstitutional, Republican legislative leaders passed a bill aimed at weakening the state's largest teachers association.Two Democrats -- state Reps. William Brisson and Jim Crawford -- broke party ranks to join Republicans in a 69 to 45 vote to override Perdue's veto of the measure, Senate Bill 727. The 1:12 a.m. vote means teachers who belong to the N.C. Association of Educators can no longer have their NCAE dues deducted automatically from their paychecks.
This bill was a revenge bill period.. Revenge, Yes.
how you might ask, this is how, taken for the Greensboro & the Triad Newspaper.
So why single out NCAE?
The teachers group has used their organization’s funding and membership to oppose House Republicans both during the 2010 elections and when the General Assembly convened in 2011. In particular, the group worked to pressure five Democrats who sided with Republicans on the state budget to flip their votes. It was particularly vocal about cuts to education funding.
During a House Republican Caucus meeting, which would normally be secret but was accidentally broadcast to the state legislative press room in June, Tillis made clear that the check off bill was constructed to punish the teacher’s group.
“The reason we’ve decided to do that is the NCAE has gone into all five districts with mailers hammering these Democrats,” Tillis said. “We just want to give them a little taste about what’s to come.”
Lewis said he was told by House Republicans that its group had become a target because of its political advocacy.
“The Republicans in the General Assembly didn’t have the votes to get what they wanted legally," Perdue said in a written statement. "So, in the dark of night, they engaged in an unprecedented, unconstitutional power grab. I am saddened for the people of North Carolina that the Republicans abused their power and chose this destructive path.”
Yet, we know if the Democrats try these backhanded and backroom deals the Republicans in the NCGA would be cry foul like a bunch of Screaming Queens.
But we know that GOP is mostly made up of a bunch crooks and lairs.
However you can bet that their will a lawsuit over this override vote bill, which will cost the state more money.. Which I sure will be more then these $50,000 sessions at NCGA…
