has as little power as possible. People have voted and they tried to override the vote and now are taking away power from the newly elected Dem. Gov. in a special session, who is by the way the sitting AG of the state.
I am sure you Pubs are just fine with this, and most of you seem fine with the fact that Russia hacked into our Presidential election and wanted Trump to win. Whoever voted for Trump has voted for Putin. Good show and also has voted for what is going on in NC. What a nightmare.

North Carolina G.O.P. Moves to Curb Power of New Democratic Governor
After calling a surprise special session, Republican lawmakers who control the General Assembly introduced measures to end the governor’s control over election boards, to require State Senate approval of the new governor’s cabinet members and to strip his power to appoint University of North Carolina trustees.
Republicans also proposed to substantially cut the number of state employees who serve at the governor’s pleasure, giving Civil Service protections to hundreds of managers in state agencies who have executed the priorities of Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican.
If the measures pass the legislature, where Republicans hold large majorities in both chambers, and Mr. McCrory signs off, they would significantly hamstring the new governor, Roy Cooper, who takes office in January. Mr. McCrory conceded the race last week after a nearly monthlong challenge of the vote, a hard-fought race that followed four years in which unified Republican control of state government brought a wave of restrictions on voting access, abortion and gay rights.
