so-called bathroom bill or h b-2. i was really looking forward to the all-star game being here z in the words of north carolina s governor, this could have been a different weekend. it would have been awesome to have been in that atmosphere. they estimated that the all-star game would have brought in approximately $100 billion but because of hb-2 which requires all people to use public rest rooms to match the sex on their birth certificate and excludes them from a state-wide nondiscrimination policy. i am not a politician. i m a businessman. for me, i take my personal beliefs and all this stuff out of it, for me, it is just dollars and cents. jeff wakem owns the restaurant not far from where the game was supposed to be played. my guess, we probably would have quadrupled our sales.

businesses refusing to expand or relocate to north carolina. performers canceling contracts, ncaa pulling seven championship events from the state and the north carolina sports association sent a letter out tha that says unless hb 2 is repealed the ncaa could remove all events until 2022. while several bills that would repeal hb 2 have been introduced, none have passed the republican controlled legislature. as far as the all-star game is concerned, this weekend belongs to the big easy. but the nba says that if the law changes, charlotte could be hosting its own big party in 2019. now, north carolina isn t necessarily alone. more than a dozen states have had lawmakers file similar legislation, although none of those have actually passed at this point. thank you so much. so the president s handshake,
