Following a surprise move by the Charlotte City Council, Gov.-elect Roy Cooper said Monday that Legislative leaders have promised him to call a special session Tuesday to repeal House Bill 2.

“Senate Leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore assured me that as a result of Charlotte’s vote, a special session will be called for Tuesday to repeal HB 2 in full,” Cooper said in a statement. “I hope they will keep their word to me and with the help of Democrats in the legislature, HB2 will be repealed in full.

“Full repeal will help to bring jobs, sports and entertainment events back and will provide the opportunity for strong LGBT protections in our state.”

Cooper’s announcement followed the Charlotte City Council’s 10-0 vote Monday morning to rescind the LGBT ordinance that prompted House Bill 2.

We have the best LGBBQ folks. Who doesn't like Carolina LGBBQ? Much better than Kansas City LGBBQ. Believe me.

For as much outcry that this bill's passage received, I get the feeling that the repeal will be barely noticed.

Unfortunately for a lot of Charlotte's/North Carolina's businesses, the repeal is a day late, dollar short

As far as the Dems are concerned, it served its purpose by defeating the sitting governor and helping flip the state Supreme Court.

Of course, now they are upset that the Republican majorities in the legislature are undercutting both of those entities.

A few, not a lot.

Charlotte is still growing at a ridiculously fast pace. A few tech companies pulled out of their plans to expand there, and all the sports BS... but Charlotte ain't hurting.
