So Republicans, who control of state legislature, went into emergency session. They wrote legislation limit the amount of power the incoming governor would have. The law would cut the number of appointments a governor can make by eight percent cabinet members. The appoints would have to be confirmed
by the Republican state Senate. Authority from the state Board of Education will be transferred from the incoming governor to an elected superintendent who happens to be a Republican. Democrats and Republicans would share power over the State Board of Elections. During odd years when there are no elections, a Democrat would chair the board. During the election years, a Republican would Chare it well. Liberals in North Carolina and beyond
