It’s such a radical plan even some Republicans are opposed to it. Gov. Pat McCrory blasted it. “If someone wants to change the form of government in one of your cities, then go run for city council, for mayor,” he told Raleigh’s News & Observer. Jerry Daniels, a Republican Trinity City Council member is appalled. One bill would shrink his council from nine members to six. “She’s trying to get Republicans on the board and Democrats off. I’m a Republican, and I’m upset about it.”
So much for representative democracy in North Carolina, even for non-tea party Republicans.
via Gerrymandering congressional districts just wasn’t enough for North Carolina Republicans.
