Some North Carolina Democratic lawmakers break from party to pass Republican priorities
RALEIGH, NC (AP) – On Tuesday, North Carolina Republican MPs, Democratic Gov. Josh Stein exceeded several vetors and received enough votes to enact some laws, while Stein’s own party was inadequate.
The votes were key tests for the leaders of the Republican General Assembly. They lost the majority of the veto -proofing majority After last autumn elections.
Both rooms put into effect eight of 14 vetoed measures to advance their conservative agenda, including targeted laws. Transsexual rightsAllow firearms on private school property and Eliminate the task of reducing a temporary greenhouse gas.
The GOP is shy from a seat in the house of overcoming vetors. MPs were able to convince some measures of one to three parliamentary democrats to invalidate measures.
Parliament Speaker destin Hall, told reporters, “depends on what this problem is, but we will have a super -intelligence working on most issues,” he said.
Democratic leaders have managed to keep the other vetors given by Stein intact, ie the GOP targets adults to allow them to carry the secret pistols and Eliminate DEI initiatives For now, it is out of the rail.
The Republicans said, “They did not invalidate all of them. So, if we have numbers, we can void them,” the democratic representative said after the session of Tuesday. “This is a way to make politics.”
The possible democratic victory in transsexual Bill ends with defeat
The democrats of home could not have the governor’s veto on an invoice targeting transsexual people when one of the party members broke the ranks.
Legislation initially took place as a bilateral measure that prevented the sexual exploitation of women and non -disregards on pornography websites. However, several controversial provisions were taken, such as recognizing only two sexes and preventing gender transition procedures financed by the state for prisoners.

Im I had some moral problems with it and I had to lean on my values, Maj Majeed said to the journalists of the bill after the vote.
Dei bills are blocked for now
In one of the greatest victories, the Democrats remained united in their opposition and prevented three invoices that would restrict diversity, equality and inclusion programs throughout the state.
Two of the invoices will prevent some “separatist concepts” and “discriminatory practices öz about race and identity in K-12 schools, state universities and community colleges. The third law will prohibit state institutions from using diversity, equality and involvement programs or use the DEI in recruitment applications.
Hall told reporters that the room expects the room to overcome the rest of the vetors like Dei Bills at some point.
Hall, “If people are out and numbers are there, we will vote to invalidate,” he said.

Republicans, 70% reduction task is unnecessary and eliminated, the use of cheaper power supplies to meet the 2050 standard to meet the electricity ratio increases will be moderate, he said.
