#ncga: Tweaking the HB2 tweak
Once again, I’ve got MAIL:

Subject: New BillConsistent with the discussion that has occurred in the Joint Caucus, we’ll be circulating a new bill shortly with reworks a few provisions consistent with some feedback, primarily from Skip.
There is no point in circulating the old draft. We’ll just get you a new one.
Chuck
It’s *so nice* to see the people’s business being cobbled together behind closed doors.
(*Excuse me, ma’am. Are you using that urinal?)
If Chuck McGrady has a leadership role in this fiasco, then we are going to get screwed. McGrady is one of the most left wing Obama Republicans in the General Assembly. He is exactly the sort of person who would deliberately knife McCrory and the GOP in the back by selling out on this issue and knowing the voters will punish Republicans for it. God help us.
What in the e-mail provided indicates HB2 is what is being discussed?
Yeah, I suspect McGrady is talking about coal ash here. They just floated another version. I’d be surprised if he’s involved in HB2.
The entire joint caucus was about HB2. The new draft is out now.
I stand corrected. I’m still just surprised McGrady is taking point on it. He managed to skip the original vote on it, somehow.
Yeah, interesting that nowhere in that email does he disclose what the “new bill” is about. Think he’s embarrassed?
