Significant Law Enforcement action regarding North Carolinas public facilities, privacy and security act, also known as house bill 2. The North Carolina General Assembly passed house bill 2 in special session on march 23 of this year. The bill sought to strike down an antidiscrimination provision in a recently passed charlotte, North Carolina, ordinance, as well as to require transgender people in public agencies to use the bathrooms consistent with their sex as noted at birth rather than the bathrooms that fit their gender identity. The bill was signed into law that same day. In so doing, the legislature and the governor placed North Carolina in direct opposition to federal laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex and gender identity.

Other body has in effect decided to, if not slowwalk tax reform, certainly take its time. Last month, the news here in washington was full of headlines about various discussions among the house leaders, and you got a sense all of them speak for themselves that the tax reform issues they were apparently going to take their foot off the gas. So, mr. President , it does not seem that the other body is poised to move forward any time soon on comprehensive tax reform, so because there is little indication that the other body is going to move on this, my view is letting the incentives for the Renewable Energy resources in particular, solar and wind and other renewables and Energy Efficiency in effect get thrown overboard, in effect sacrificed on this altar of inaction, that would be a huge mistake.
