"This is not a debate," Stam replied.
Sure, this is an article that is about "inside baseball". How the legislature makes its own rules is the epitome of watching the sausage get made. But process is important. Notice in the article that everyone of those proposed amendments would make the process a bit more fair. It would open up our government, and let voices of dissent be heard. All this in the same week these folks redrew the lines after they lost some elections so they won't lose future elections.
For a crowd that ran almost exclusively on the notion that Raleigh was a corrupt racket run by a few untrustworthy souls, it is striking how often they are proving they are no better than those who came before. Mr. Stam is right, this is NOT a debate. And this is not a conservative government.
