New: Gov. Josh Stein is on Capitol Hill today. He’s presenting a new Helene recovery request to lawmakers. It’s $3 billion less than his ask in September. First on Spectrum NewsšŸ‘‡ spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/tri… #ncpol

This might sound crazy but, maybe by paying them more? But seriously. How can anyone take NC Republican leadership seriously on "law and order" when they've consistently underpaid correctional officers (and state troopers and ADA positions and more).
NC says it’s last in the nation in paying prison officers. How can it fill jobs? newsobserver.com/news/local/…

Yeah I had high hopes when that calendar first came out, too. Except those are all just "maybe" days. We still don't know when we're holding votes each week until the Speaker's office says. Makes it hard to know when to start my 4-hour drive. Or when to schedule Raleigh meetings.
Replying to @PratherForNC
Didn't Speaker Hall publish a voting schedule at the beginning of this year's short session?

It's almost 8am on Monday and we still haven't been told what the voting schedule is this week 🤷. I'm about to show up to my other job where I'm lucky to have an understanding boss. Your regular reminder that those in power really don't want working people to hold these seats.

North Carolina has been without a budget for 1,000 days and yet the Republican majority just voted for bills to benefit the richest in the state, and then went home for the week. Thank you Rep. Prather for always fighting for NC communities instead. #ncpol #ncga

Rep. Phil Rubin:"The easiest thing we could do in this body to bring property taxes down is the pay for the things we're supposed to pay for. 38% of the Wake County tax increase is going to subsidize what the state is supposed to be paying for."
Democratic Leader Rieves: "We could pass a bill to help with property tax relief TODAY. We're choosing not to." This constitutional amendment will do NOTHING to help North Carolinians. We could help them, but Republican leaders care more about getting votes in November.

JUST IN: A newly proposed rule seeks to formalize the process for how the state responds to alleged campaign finance violations. The draft says complaints would now be ā€œconfidential," sparking concerns from transparency advocates. #ncpol theassemblync.com/news/polit…

Just so we're all on the same page - a budget deal was *announced* yesterday, but there is no actual, final budget deal. They have a "framework" (their words). We have nothing in writing to even consider or discuss, much less vote on. Still waiting.

Lawmakers announced a budget deal yesterday. They told us about the raises. Here’s what they didn’t tell us: how many state jobs are being eliminated to pay for it. A thread. 🧵 #ncga #NCPol

Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the federal deficit. Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the federal deficit.
If there is ever a social phenomenon that needs to be studied, it is how the GOP has been able to hoodwink people for decades into thinking that they the party of ā€œfiscal responsibilityā€ when there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support that claim. And I mean ZERO.

Grateful to the workers and retirees who took their time to come to Raleigh and advocate for themselves and their colleagues. We can and must do more to support our state employees in NC

"What Republicans fail to acknowledge is that tax cuts have consequences, and it’s not wealthy people who will be forced to bear them."
NC lawmaker says only the wealthy pay state income tax. Here are the facts | Opinion newsobserver.com/opinion/art…
