All you want for Christmas is disaster relief, right? Gov. McCrory has called for a special legislative session beginning Tuesday, December 13, “for the purpose of authorizing the financial assistance necessary to aid the recovery from both Hurricane Matthew and the western North Carolina wildfires… and …
for the purpose of addressing any other matters the General Assembly elects to consider” (emphasis added). DUN-DUN-DUUUUNNNN. Although members of the Council of State from both parties asked the governor to limit the session solely to considering disaster relief, McCrory declined to do so. Have you ever heard of a December Surprise?
