NC governor has reached the bargaining stage.

Ain't it sweet? Stand firm, Charlotte!

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pat-mccrory-hb2-fate-charlotten

McCrory spokesman Josh Ellis said in a statement that the governor would call a special session if two requisites are met: Charlotte must move first to repeal its expanded protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people; and secondly, a majority of lawmakers must be in favor of repeal.

"If the Charlotte City Council totally repeals the ordinance and then we can confirm there is support to repeal among the majority of state lawmakers in the House and Senate, the governor will call a special session," Ellis said.

The General Assembly isn't scheduled to reconvene until January. Last spring, legislative leaders said the Charlotte ordinance needed to be gone before any significant modifications would be considered to the state law. The Charlotte City Council declined to do so at the time.

There is no reason to tie the together unless you are trying to create an excuse not to repeal the state law. Be strong Charlotte.
