An update to a story from last week. NC lawmakers, now's your chance to prove to the public you are capable of being even the least bit transparent. Send me an email of your choice that you've sent or received this session. Literally anything. #ncpol

Tweet card media

Don't like maximum transparency? NC lawmakers, send me one email of your choice.

Since North Carolina implemented a new law allowing lawmakers to sell and destroy communications as they see fit, few have responded to public records requests.
