Yet Rep. Pless chose to vote to override the veto. All three of those legislators need to lose their seats. If there were a way to recall them that should happen.

Boliek’sfull statement was very politicized, he will be more of an obstacle than an ally when it comes to disaster relief.

I see the relentless NC GOP thirst for power at any cost in everything they do. For years their radical gerrymandering has denied representation to Winston-Salem residents by sticking us with that senile fascist Virginia Foxx. If all North Carolinians knew the truth I believe they would stop supporting these greedy power mad tools that are the NC GOP in spite of the gerrymandering.

I remember Bolick's father, David Bolick from WTVD Durham. Perhaps he is more bipartisan than Phil Berger and the rest of the GOP in NC

Good for him. How did he get through the GOP’s candidate screening….

Thomas, is there no way to send your newsletter to residents of the area to put the blame where it belongs? Also, many of us pleaded with the legislators from that area to uphold the veto, which they didn’t. If they had, it might have forced the legislature to rethink the money allocation.

I hope every Western NC citizen, who suffered catastrophic losses during “Helene” and waits for relief from the government, and who voted Republican (MAGA) in November, comes to realize that NO HELP will be forth coming since the Republican led state legislature voted NO. Elections have consequences.

They won't. They'll blame Stein or Cooper or some other Democrat.
