"North Carolina GOP Overrides Veto, Restricts Promotion of Select Beliefs in State Government"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press
North Carolina's GOP-dominated legislature has successfully overridden six bills, including one that prohibits the promotion of certain beliefs in state government workplaces, which some lawmakers compare to critical race theory, and another that imposes new limits on wetlands protection rules. These overrides come after Republican lawmakers gained veto-proof majorities in each chamber, signaling their increased political power. Democratic Governor Roy Cooper had previously been able to block GOP measures with vetoes due to support from Democrats. The new laws also address green investing, consumer loans, and local government finances.
