A bill that started out as a six-page reform of dentistry laws in North Carolina turned into a 132-page bill aimed at reducing the authority of newly elected Democratic officials.
One of the great episodes of the TV show Seinfeld involved the main character, Jerry's, interactions with his dentist, who Jerry is later overheard badmouthing. This being Seinfeld, Jerry's comments quickly come back to bite him. The episode ends with a wedding-day confrontation between Jerry and the groom's father—a dentist, who calls Jerry an 'anti-dentite bastard.
So, the Republican-controlled state House and Senate passed their 132-page bill chock full of limitations on what executive-branch officers can do going forward, stripping the statewide offices of power they previously held.For instance, if passed, the bill would take away the governor's ability to appoint members of the state elections board and instead transfer those powers to the state auditor, a position held by a Republican.
