NC lawmakers exempt themselves from public records laws while Democrats blast 'secret police' powers

NC used to be the heart of the “New South”. i.e. Southern charm without the racism. (It was a work in progress, but damnit, most people were trying.) Then the Koch brothers funded a bunch of backwoods racists and mercenary consultants to bring in the gerrymandering and now the majority is just suppressed by these assholes.
Fuck the Koch brothers.
It is not just in the South. The Great Pacific Northwest state of Washington has seen its incarceration rates rocket as the number of billionaires that don't pay state income taxes also happens to increase there.
