Last Friday we ended our legislative session for the year.
Unfortunately, we left one major piece of work undone by taking no significant action to address HB2.
As a state Senator for Mecklenburg, I've seen the economic damage that HB2 has caused. According to our local Chamber of Commerce, we've lost about $300 million and 1,300 jobs.
Now that we've closed session with no fix, there is a real risk of the economic damage spreading across our state.
I remain committed to the repeal of HB2 - and so do a clear majority of our citizens.
And that’s 100.
Best,
