Raleigh, NC — Today Governor Cooper announced a new lawsuit in which he is suing Republicans for supposedly limiting his power.
“Headed into the Memorial Day weekend, Governor Cooper is once again flooding our courts with more partisan warfare, rather than working with the legislature to find solutions to our common problems. It is clear that he wants to take every minor legislative disagreement to the courts and ask them to serve as legislators instead of judges.”
– NCGOP Chairman Robin Hayes
Carolina Journal reported that earlier this year in Governor Cooper’s State of the State speech he said, “In Raleigh, partisan battles, power struggles, and lawsuits might grab the headlines, but we have to work together where we can.”
Senator Berger responded to Cooper and his lawsuit today saying, “So we don’t understand why he feels suing three times in less than six months is a good way to accomplish that goal,” Berger said. “[W]e wish he would heed his own advice rather than filing endless lawsuits bankrolled by the taxpayers to elevate his own political power.”
