For those not familiar with the political situation in NC, prior to November we were already saddle with republican control of our legislature, but at least we could keep most of the crazy at bay with an occassional gubenatorial veto. With former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory taking office in January the republicans have full control of the state government.
The book on McCrory was supposed to be rationale, moderate republican. The reality has been quite different. Since taking office several weeks ago our new governor has appointed a global warming denier to be the Secretary or the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, asked the legislature to draft a voter ID law, and is trying to transform our state university system to a vocational training program.
So much for moderation. Sad in NC.
