NC lawmakers override six vetoes, including three that deal with LGBTQ+ issues

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Tuesday that he will sign the budget proposal presented to him by top Republican lawmakers after lengthy negotiations.

"On balance, the good outweighs the bad," Cooper said. "It moves North Carolina forward in important ways, many that are critical to our state's progress as we move out of this pandemic."

Good for NC lawmakers. They are focused on common sense bills, even if the governor isn't

[questioneverything]

Finally some good news, we have to get Cooper out of office, he will destroy North Carolina. Leave the parenting/common sense up to the parents

[kevinchambers]

This is simple common sense. The three bills of the governor should have been overridden. Children need to be protected.

[Eazy-ERyder]

God I hope this wonderful trend continues and manifests throughout the country and then the WORLD

[gdvhfghhg]

Thank god please can we get back to normal just a little

[dalepxp]

I agree. Now if the Voters can get rid of the democrats (vote them Out ) completely, or leave one or 2 just for puppets, for clowns, as jokers, that would really be cool.

That ANYONE is against these laws is absolutely insane... actually, it's insane that we need them at all.

This time, evil was defeated.

[kenjernigan]

At least some politicians in NC have a sense of morals.

[maximusmeridius]

So protecting children isnt a priority?

[GracieGirl]

Way to go !!! Taking back the country one state at a time ❤❤

[AbcAbc-spod]

[Blazefork]

Great job legislators, see ya Cooper.

[congerthomas]

Sounds like another election issue, dem gov but a Republican state Senate. How does that happen?? Yes other states just like that also. So how does that happen???

Good. Boys are not girls no matter how much you lie about it. God is watching. We all will stand in judgement of God. What poor excuse will YOU give?

[Pikachupainter]

Gods like DAMN i only remember Adam and Eve

[chiefinspectorshine]

On the "parents' bill of rights", just grades k-4? Seems kind of light.🤔

[v.leewalker]

Love the governors response! Keep those Magabillies in the south! 😂
