WRAL TV is reporting that controversial North Carolina bills could be approved with little notice if the House of Representatives moves forward with new rules proposed by the GOP majority. State legislators returned to Raleigh yesterday, where, for the next two years, the GOP will have almost enough members to pass their agenda at-will and override vetoes by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.
Cooper, who has had to work with a Republican-controlled legislature since he was first elected in 2016, has vetoed more bills than any North Carolina governor. He has blocked bills seeking to expand access to guns, limit abortion rights, banned the teaching of critical race theory, and many other GOP pursuits.
