Events

Short session is starting on Wednesday, and here are the three things you should know:

Expect it to be short. Short short. Every seat in the NC General Assembly is up for election this fall, and legislators can’t campaign or fundraise in Raleigh. They want to get in and out.
It’s all about the Benjamins, baby. It hasn’t been as firm a rule in every short session, but expect this session to follow the money only rule. Budget and appropriation bills are likely all we’ll see this session.
Session is starting, and so are the weekly coalition strategy calls. If you registered for our coalition meetings, you should have received a calendar invitation to our weekly coalition calls. If you want to be on them and haven’t gotten the invite, drop Katie a message and we’ll take care of it.
