Tomorrow is the N.C. House Public Utilities Committee meeting where H.1252 is scheduled to be heard. I hope to attend the meeting but it depends on whether I can schedule my work around it.
I spent my lunch break calling the members of the committee to urge them to oppose the bill. Many of the legislative assistants expressed marked awareness of the bill. Apparently they’ve been getting lots of calls, though for which side I don’t know. At least one said the assistant’s boss was reconsidering support for the bill, which is a good sign.
I hope our representatives know what a bad bill this is for our communities and vote accordingly, but we’ll have to see. It may come down to the wire.
Also, there’s a Facebook group where you can lend your voice in opposition. The more avenues for expression, the better!
