"Here’s the text of Clampitt’s note: “So why haven’t we had a vote on the budget. Very simple – one man. The man is the leader of the Senate that has his own agenda. We all come to the General Assembly with ideas, plans and projects to help our area. Because of his position – leadership position in the Senate – he has the potential to have an item included in the budget that hasn’t been introduced as a bill, nor has it been assigned to a committee, or vetted by any committee and reviewed by his own Senators. None of the rest of us have this privilege. I only got to see his casino language on Monday at a meeting of those of us that are members of the NC House of Representatives Freedom Caucus. “The meeting was set up by the Chair, Keith Kidwell. Mr. Kidwell asked Mr. Berger up front, was the casino language going to be part of the budget. Mr. Berger made the declaration that it would be - period. Mr. Kidwell attempted to rationalize with Mr. Berger that he may get more support by running it as a stand-along bill and would possibly garner more support. Mr. Berger then stated that he was giving an information meeting and was not interested in debate, questions or amendments. This meeting lasted an hour, and it was very disturbing the way I and my colleagues we(re) talked down to, bullied, disrespected, intimidated, and threatened that if we did not agree to have this included in the budget, ran on the house floor and pass, that the entire budget process would be reset. (Emphasis added) “Which meant that ALL the member projects would be reviewed and possibly be in jeopardy of even being included in the new budget. He is attempting to shift the blame and lack of progress on the state’s budget to the Speaker and the NC Freedom Caucus. “I can tell you that is not true, and do not believe what you see or hear in the media. There is more I could go on about this. I believe that you should by now have a better understanding of what is really happening. Just to belay any fears of not having a budget, the House has options available and will work to optimize those options. “-- Mike Clampitt”"

Does anyone know what this is about?

Quote :

"North Carolina's new $300 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. Moreover, Gov Ops staff will be authorized to enter 'any building or facility' owned or leased by a state or non-state entity without a judicial warrant. This includes the private residences of subcontractors and contractors who run businesses out of their homes, lawmakers say. Alarmingly, public employees under investigation will be required to keep all communication and requests 'confidential.' They cannot alert their supervisor of the investigation nor consult with legal counsel. Violating this rule 'shall be grounds for disciplinary action, including dismissal,' the law reads. Those who refuse to cooperate face jail time and fines of up to $1,000. In the event that Gov Ops searches a person’s home, these rules mean that the person 1) must keep the entry a secret, 2) cannot seek outside help (unless necessary for fulfilling the request, the law says), and 3) could face criminal charges if Gov Ops deems them uncooperative."

I just realized that the above article was posted in another thread, so I'll add another relevant article:

The part where is says you can't consult counsel sounds super unconstitutional.

"Acting" Governor Mark Robinson is scheduling a super secret mystery event tomorrow while Roy is in Japan for a business trip. According to the Constitution Mark is in charge if the Governor leaves the state.

His "secret event" was declaring a “North Carolina Solidarity With Israel Week”... well played Robinson.

""I don't have to listen to those in my own party who have watched as my back has been whipped by our enemies, who refuse to stand up with me because they're cowards," Robinson thundered. "I don't have to worry about it. Because one day, Jesus Christ is going to ride back to this earth on that white horse. When he does, he's going to bring his vengeance.""

what a whacko.

As long as Jesus is bringing the vengeance and not Mark Robinson. I trust Jesus to do the right thing.
