North Carolina's Republican-majority state legislature has been accused of using a hurricane relief bill to implement unrelated provisions aimed at limiting the power of Democratic state officials.
"Many people and communities are hurting and need our help, but instead of stepping up, the Republicans in the General Assembly are grabbing power and exacting political retribution," Governor-elect Josh Stein posted to social media Tuesday. "How about they do their jobs so we can do ours? North Carolina deserves better."
