Analysis by N.C. LCV: SB 553 earned modest bipartisan support after some of the most environmentally objectionable provisions regarding landfills and electronic waste recycling were removed.
Veto Message: Provisions in the legislation allowing trash receptacles in exit corridors could pose a fire safety risk for residents and emergency responders. Also, this legislation could allow septic system permits to be issued that circumvent state septic system rules which can hurt public health and threaten clean water. Both of these provisions threaten public health and safety.

A: Support
Cal Cunningham: Tighten. As a state senator, supported a Clean Smokestacks Act, requiring coal-fired power plants to reduce carbon emissions.
Thom Tillis: Loosen. Supports Trump EPA head Andrew Wheeler's attempts to loosen regulations as needless red tape. Environmental groups have criticized Wheeler's actions.

Is anything going to be done about it? The prospects are not very auspicious. There was an international conference on this last December. A total disaster. Nothing came out of it. The emerging economies, China, India, and others, argued that it's unfair for them to bear the burden of a couple hundred years of environmental destruction by the currently rich and developed societies. That's a credible argument. But it's one of these cases where you can win the battle and lose the war. The argument isn't going to be very helpful to them if, in fact, the environmental crisis advances and a viable society goes with it. And, of course, the poor countries, for whom they're speaking, will be the worst hit. In fact, they already are the worst hit.

"This situation is about saving our public lands. It's about making sure that public land remains protected and free from commercial noise pollution that intrudes on the sights and sounds of our nature preserves," said Morgan. "I am concerned because if this quarry is allowed to proceed, it will be the first private rock quarry on public land in the state," added Morgan. "The law clearly states that no permit shall be issued which will have significant adverse impact on a state park. And this one does," said Morgan.
"I seriously question Attorney General Josh Stein's encouragement and approval of this action," said Mr. Morgan.
A: No. As State Treasurer, I'm the only person in the US who officially asked for Larry Fink of Blackrock to be fired because of his attempts to politicize the NC Pension System. As Chair of the State Banking Commission, I found ESG is/was raising the cost of doing business in NC. ESG needs to stand for NC Energy independence, Safe neighborhoods and Good government.
