Update: Charlotte City Council Votes to Repeal City Ordinance to Save HB2 Repeal Deal

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


When it was revealed on Tuesday that the Charlotte City Council had violated certain standards of protocol, by having a closed door meeting on the repeal of the ordinance that prompted HB2, it put the deal made my outgoing Governor Pat McCrory, the North Carolina General Assembly, Governor-elect Roy Cooper, and the Charlotte City Council in jeopardy.

The deal made (and touted by Cooper, falsely, as his own accomplishment) was that for a full repeal of the Charlotte City Ordinance, McCrory would call a special session, in order to repeal the bathroom bill.

What the Charlotte City Council did, instead, was to shut the doors to the public and the press, and agreed to partially repeal the offensive ordinance, not fully repeal, as agreed upon.

The General Assembly and heads of the Republican Party in the state expressed doubt that the good faith deal they made could go through, considering Democrats had already broken the agreement.

This morning, under mounting pressure, Charlotte agreed to uphold their end of the bargain.

It never is, with Democrats. It just sort of happens, right?

The meeting was hurriedly called an hour before the General Assembly was to meet, in order to discuss repeal of HB2.

At this point, it seems that if Charlotte holds true to their word (finally), there will be little trouble in getting the support for a repeal of HB2.

The problem, at that point, becomes the likelihood of another liberal pocket of North Carolina enacting the same kind of dangerous ordinance as that which began in Charlotte and stirred up this maelstrom, to begin with.

Durham County councilman, Charlie Reese, has already stated that as soon as HB2 is repealed, Durham will enact a similar ordinance, as they are not part of the deal between the state and Charlotte. It will then become more difficult for the General Assembly to act to protect citizens from the social justice experimentation of men like Reese and Charlotte’s Mayor Jennifer Roberts.

Anyone who would like to mass contact their North Carolina state representatives and urge them to keep HB2 can do so through this link.

A statement by Lt. Governor Dan Forest was released a short time ago:

Well said.
