If there’s been a most controversial bill to wend its way through the North Carolina General Assembly this spring, right now it has to be House Bill 237 – a proposal that would change state laws governing the wearing masks in public, the rights of public protesters and the complex rules that govern contributions to political campaigns.
The bill has drawn sharp criticism from a host of advocates and experts and one of the most persistent and insightful has been veteran good government watchdog Melissa Price Kromm of the group North Carolina for the People Action. As Price Kromm explained when NC Newsline caught up with her recently, the legislation poses a threat to the First Amendment and public health and threatens to flood state elections with huge sums of unaccountable and corrupting dark money. Learn more about the bill that earned the latest veto from Governor Roy Cooper.
