Now, North Carolina Wants to Hold City Infrastructure Hostage
Its cities must comply with anti-immigrant state laws, or face the funding consequences.
North Carolina’s not done yet.
Even after the state passed HB2, its anti-LGBT bill that caused a national uproar and no small measure of economic and legal fallout for the state, its general assembly continues to churn out discriminatory legislation. On Monday, the state’s House passed a bill that blocks public access to police camera footage. On Tuesday, the Senate passed another bill, HB 100, which aims to hold school and road funds hostage if cities don’t comply with anti-immigrant state laws.
