In 140 years, has any North Carolina legislature been more destructive than the current legislature dominated by extremist Republicans?
None of the controversial legislation of recent years has been requested by citizen majority or local governments.
This Republican legislature has done everything it has promised not to do:
• Expand state government control and intrusion.
• Waste taxpayer dollars.
• Encrease financial burdens on the lowest members of the economy.
• Reduce business and investment opportunity.
In the coming election, the current failure of single-party rule must be reversed by a sensible vote to restore Democrat and Republican balance.
Let’s all get out and vote!
