Don't you believe it for a minute, kid. Keep your eye on him.
Ever since the 2010 election ushered in Republican super-majorities to both North Carolina's state Senate and its House of Representatives (collectively, the General Assembly), citizens of the Tarheel State have been stunned witnesses to the devolution of polity into something more like the Law of the Jungle: America's harshest voter suppression law and most laissez faire fracking regulations, taxes piled on the poor and slashed for the wealthy, massive defunding of public education, climate-change science denial written into law, and so much more.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, in which all 170 General Assembly seats will be up for grabs, it seems good to chronicle the continuing stream of bills our New Crazy North Carolina legislators are deliberating (if one may use that term): which legislators are proposing to do what, to whom, and whose pockets are they in? Because, if only young and middle-aged Dems will bother to show up at the polls in November 2016 (Ds outnumber Rs in NC), these clowns will have to answer for their continuing malfeasance. This will be a continuing occasional series of articles - for as long as the crazy keeps coming.
