North Carolina Republican legislative leaders have finalized their efforts to curb the appointment powers of the governor on several boards and commissions.
Republicans hold narrow veto-proof majorities in both chambers.
Only one of those eight — the Utilities Commission — would leave a majority of seats with the governor. But instead of picking all seven seats, the governor would over time get to choose just three seats for a reconstituted five-member commission. “Consolidating power in this body is a bad, bad, bad idea,” said House Minority Leader Robert Reives of Chatham County said during debate. “We’ve got to support what government is supposed to be about. And I struggle to believe that continuing to consolidate power in this body is best for North Carolina.”
