New NC "Secret Police" group exposed: Interview with NC State Senator Graig Meyer
Learn about the new powers given to the unaccountable, weaponized "Gov Ops" committee
NC State Senator Graig Meyer has done an excellent job of sounding the alarm about the new powers given to the partisan “Gov Ops” legislative oversight committee. New changes made through as part of the state budget process have WEAPONIZED this committee, which is controlled by Phil Berger (NC Senate) and Tim Moore (NC House). Gov Ops has been empowered as an unaccountable secret investigative force, one that can act in any state agency, including public universities and more.
The best way to stop this is to vote out the Republicans in 2024. We North Carolinians are currently caught in a tangled knot of undemocratic power grabs and structural changes that add up to authoritarian rule by the Republicans in charge. We deserve better!
I asked Senator Meyer to explain what is going on with the new rules expanding Gov Ops power. Here’s our video conversation (14:30).
