North Carolina’s new $30 billion state budget contains a provision that gives extraordinary investigative powers to a partisan oversight committee co-chaired by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R) and House Speaker Tim Moore (R). The Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations — or Gov Ops for short — is empowered to seize “any document or system of record” from anyone who works in or with state and local government during its investigations. The rule applies to contractors, subcontractors, and any other non-state entity “receiving, directly and indirectly, public funds,” including charities and state universities.

      Says the guy furiously typing “too late” at an indigenous person. Get yourself together.

        Again, keep assuming. I get the popcorn out when you morons with nothing but insults come out. You’ve said nothing to address my points, just insist that caring about a larger population’s problems more than a smaller population… when the main topic started as the larger population, is somehow an indication that I don’t care about people.

        You’re right. I don’t care about morons that INSIST on a topic coming back to a more personal topic to them.

        Fuck you. Get over yourself. Native people weren’t the topic, and they’re a smaller group. Fucking grow up and stay on topic, you child. Native people will suffer these repercussions even worse than other races, so if you actually care about them, stop the fucking steamroller coming for all of us, because you guys get the short end of the stick first.
