Monument-removal bill disrespectful of local NC governance

[struggle4progress]

BY THE EDITORIAL BOARD

... GOP legislators, having long advocated against big government, now want to interfere, again, in local governance in North Carolina.. The state House has joined the Senate in making it harder for a locality to remove controversial monuments. On everyone’s minds, of course, are the numerous monuments to Confederates or the Confederate cause ... The push in North Carolina to protect monuments is an insulting infringement on local government jurisdiction ... The General Assembly’s Republicans already have interfered by resetting the election rules for the Greensboro City Council and the Wake County commissioners ... Republicans in the General Assembly are showing a blatant disregard and a lack of respect for local government bodies ...
