'Ol PAT! with some questionable ethics news again.

After the dan river coal ash spill Duke increased it's contribution to the RGA 10

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article18277277.html

Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be a big deal, but after all the trouble PAT! has had disclosing his Duke stocks, Tree.com payouts, etc this shit is starting to become a pattern.

So far he's vetoed two whacko bills - the Opt-Out of Gay Marriage Bill, and the Ag-Gag bill.

He is just preparing for the next election, its not like he had some ideological shift in the last two weeks.

He acted like a moderate during the last election and then soon as he got in started rubber stamping crazy shit.

wasn't he pretty moderate during his 15 years of mayoring of Charlotte? That was my understanding. Then he started kowtowing the tea-party types after being elected governor?

he was pretty moderate when he ran for governor the first time, which is why I voted for him

but he lost that one and realized he had to go further right to win

^^Maybe his overall gameplan was to win over the far right, then try to swing the legislature to a more moderate tone, which I totally support.

After seeing this administration and General Assembly in action, my inner cynic alarms are suggesting that he knows they will override the veto, but this gives him cover to "appear" more moderate knowing that Roy Cooper is likely to run against him next year.

I77 toll contractor going bankrupt, again.

Looks like PAT! may not have this albatross around his neck come election time, although I'm sure all the shenanigans around it can still be used against him (not to mention Brawley is sure to stick around). Womp womp.

Actually it was just a subsidiary that went bankrupt, toll lane deal could still go through I guess

Sweet NC is swimming in the bottom of the gutter along with Mississippi for worst teachers pay and worst for discrimination! To think i tell everyone in Oregon about how progressive and modern NC is relative to most of the South.

Pat! Is holding a press conference at 1, no doubt to double down on HB2. Looks like NC taxpayers are gonna be on the hook for another meaningless court battle.

This is going to get more embarrassing for our state before it gets better

Hey, regardless of how I feel about the bill in question, glad to see someone standing up to the federal government.

And before you dismiss me as being a partisan hack or whatever, imagine what a Trump DOJ might look like, and what it might try to do in terms of limiting rights for immigrants. The tables could be turned in a few years, and you might see governors of states with sanctuary cities standing up to the DOJ, depending on who's in charge.

What? Because he stood up to the government as a racist? Way to put words in my mouth there.

You know I hope Trump doesn't get to the WH, and if he does, I hope he doesn't try anything stupid with immigration, but if he does, and governors or other state leaders try to stand up to it, I'm gonna be here to make you eat your words.

good for you

we're an embarassment, both in the US and abroad, are losing millions in revenue, and you're fine with the guy doubling down on it because he's standing up to the feredal government?

you opened yourself up the the George Wallace comparison by saying you were fine with a governor standing up to the federal government, regardless of the reason why

Come on dude. You're obviously saying anyone standing up to the federal government is just for doing so. Nobody is putting words in your mouth. You've said it all in this statement.

I wasn't sure if I should post this in here or the NCGOP thread but it looks like the NC House is set for a bipartisan vote to terminate the I77 toll lane contract. I doubt the Senate will follow, but politically, it still seems like an anchor dragging down PAT! And other conservatives along the I77 corridor. One of the most conservative areas of the state that actually has money. It's also a massive middle finger to ALEC which has been pushing public/private partnerships over the last three years. So kudos to the NC House on that.

I thought this whole deal with the toxicologist and private well notices might just be a misunderstanding (because non established drinking water standards can get very complicated) that was kinda snowballing into a political turd because it's election season, but now the State Epidemiologist has resigned and called out some of the top folks in DHHS and DEQ.

Hang another anchor around PAT!'s neck

He kind of has a point, though. HB2 was cited as the reason that Charlotte lost the NBA All-Star Game, but meanwhile, the NBA still has events in China, for example. If the NBA truly cared about freedoms and equal rights and whatnot, they wouldn't play games in China.
