NC Governor Vetoes Controversial Senate Bill 382, Labels It a 'Sham'

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed Senate Bill 382, labeling it a "sham" for including provisions that he claims violate the constitution by removing appointment powers from the next governor and interfering with the attorney general's duties. While the bill allocates $227 million for disaster relief, critics argue it also strips power from incoming Democratic officials. The Republican-led General Assembly is expected to override the veto before losing their supermajority in January.
