Being in the majority just isn’t enough for Speaker Moore – he wants to change the rules so that he and the Republican Party can vote to override a veto by Governor Cooper at the drop of a hat to push their extreme agenda.
The house rules for the last session required advance notice to ensure all representatives are on the floor for crucial decisions. Speaker Moore wants to eliminate this window so that he can override Governor Cooper’s vetoes swiftly and without a democratic process.
If Moore gets his way, crucial issues on personal freedoms and individual rights could be voted on without every representative present. North Carolianians deserve to have their elected leaders participate in the job they were sent to Raleigh to do.
