The National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup playoffs start this weekend, and, as it turns out, the Carolina Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the league, albeit in a shortened 56-game season. Gov. Roy Cooper often professes his love for the Canes, who host the Nashville Predators on Monday. Cooper, too, often wears a mask emblazoned with the logo of the Raleigh team, which finished with 80 points, tied for second-best in the NHL. N.C. Republicans, however, are asking the governor to prove his loyalty. Senators Amy Galey, R-Alamance, and Lisa Barnes, R-Nash, on Thursday, May 13, in a letter urged Cooper to reverse his decision to reject the Hurricanes’ application to increase capacity limits during their upcoming playoff run, a news release says. ....
Partisan foot soldier or defender of constitutional checks and balances? Democratic state senators recently had two chances within the span of 30 minutes to choose one option or the other. In both cases, every Democrat in the Senate chamber picked party loyalty over the General Assembly’s constitutional role. Their choice bodes ill for the legislature’s future as the branch of state government responsible for making laws. Democrats cast their votes late in the afternoon of April 27. In the first case, they were considering Senate Bill 346, a measure designed to rein in the governor’s emergency powers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper often has taken action unilaterally to close and reopen schools and businesses, limit the sizes of indoor and outdoor crowds, and force people across the state to wear masks. He has based his executive orders on powers granted under the state Emergency Management Act. ....

A Senate committee on Wednesday shut down public discussion of a contentious portion of the Farm Act, which coincidentally, sharply curbs public input on swine farms that install biogas systems and anaerobic digesters. The public was allowed to comment on Tuesday before the Senate Agriculture, Energy and Environment Committee, which approved the bill and sent it on to the Senate Judiciary Committee. On Wednesday, though, when the Judiciary Committee discussed the legislation, committee leaders limited public comment to non-controversial sections and specifically excluded the digester issue. Republicans have refined this tactic over the years (only allowing certain topics for public comments). Senator Amy Galey was notorious for this as Chair of the Alamance County Commission, and kept deputies handy to drag out speakers who deviated from her allowed comments. FWIW, it is tempting to set such parameters. I ve conducted several meetings where public commenters have gone wa ....
The N.C. Senate has passed its own version of a school-choice expansion bill that would open the state’s three choice programs to even more low- and middle-income households and families of students with special needs. Senate Bill 671 passed largely along party lines in a 29-20 vote on Tuesday, May 4. Sen. Kirk deViere from Cumberland County was the lone Democrat to vote in favor of the bill. Cumberland County has the largest number of students on Opportunity Scholarships in the state, followed by Mecklenburg and Wake counties. “School choice shouldn’t be a privilege reserved only for the wealthy,” said Sen. Amy Galey, R-Alamance, one of the bill’s primary sponsors. “All children, regardless of their financial circumstances, deserve the opportunity to attend the school that’s best for them. The same activists who supported school closures and claim to care about ‘equity’ turn their backs on families searching for the school setting where their child would ....
