It is a very complex situation. A couple of newspaper articles don’t begin to explain it.
The city of Charlotte is run by a liberal mayor. She and her friend, a registered sex-offender, got a far-left ordinance passed by the city council. They had been warned by the state not to do it. They did and the state responded.
There is very bad blood between the liberals running Charlotte and the Republican state legislature. Add to the mix the new governor. He was the Attorney General who refused to charge the prostitute who said she was raped by the Duke lacrosse team.
NC is a target for carpetbagger, blue state infiltration and takeover. Texas is deteriorating from it as well. Florida is almost gone. How I detest those cutural liver flukes.
No it's not. You state your beliefs and let the chips fall where they be. If I was Governor then, I would have told the NCAA and entertainers to go to Hell. In fact, I would have yanked all state subsidies, police services, and blacked out the games in the state.
