...Carruthers did note, “This means that the recent amendments in City policy and ordinance to protect gender identity and gender preference are probably eliminated.”
Nancy Vaughan can't have anything to do with this issue,
as it would be a direct conflict of interest for her.
Also, that because the statute takes precedence over city ordinances, the ability of the Human Relations Commission to “investigate and regulate citizen complaints of employment discrimination and public accommodation discrimination are now eliminated.”
...Another portion of the new state law prohibits cities from setting a minimum wage for private businesses. Greensboro has not set a minimum wage for businesses in Greensboro, but has raised the minimum wage for city employees, which it still has the power to do...
John Hammer is a bigot for Roy Carroll
...In the state budget passed last year, state Sen. Trudy Wade, who represents High Point, fought hard for the furniture market and got the allocation raised by $544,000 per year to the present level.
Nice threat
Shut up or lose your money
By joining the onslaught of opposition to HB 2, the furniture market may have put that funding in jeopardy."

"Why would the cartoonist choose to portray the convicts speaking in a phony,
minstrel-show dialect?
(African-American English doesn't inflect 3rd-person plural verbs
with "-s" as the cartoon does in "builds" and "pays.)
Is he making a real attempt to represent black speech,
but is too ignorant to do so?
Or is he being intentionally provocative by evoking a form of entertainment
that is particularly demeaning to black people?
And why choose to portray both convicts as African-Americans?
In any case, I have a hard time seeing the cartoon as anything but a deliberate racial provocation
-- one that I find both disgusting and depressing."
