As a North Carolina citizen who you are supposed to be representing, I do not authorize taking money from disaster relief to throw it away defending HB2. This is not a proper expenditure of our hard-earned taxpayer money, and I request that you listen to the will of the people and drop this lawsuit.
Why is this important?
The North Carolina General Assembly is wasting taxpayer money to pay legal fees to defend HB2, a suit they have no real chance of winning, just to make a political point. They are using money from the disaster relief fund to pay for this. If North Carolina is hit with the kind of flooding that West Virginia and Texas have experienced, or, as we enter hurricane season, if a hurricane damages a community, the fund to help will be reduced by a half million dollars.
