Stein vetoes bills on puppy mills, nonprofit donors, guns in schools
NC Gov. Josh Stein vetoed GOP-backed bills he said would harm public safety and animal welfare, increase dark money in politics and help facilitate tax fraud.The donor privacy bill, Stein said, also appears intended to help wealthy people and businesses influence political races without being publicly associated with those efforts.
“Our democracy works best when people are well-informed," Stein said in vetoing Senate Bill 416. "This bill reduces transparency and creates more opportunity for dark money in our politics, especially relating to candidates’ legal funds. Furthermore, it makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the Department of Revenue to identify and crack down on certain types of tax fraud."
Tyler Voight, who leads the conservative, pro-business political group Americans For Prosperty in North Carolina, pushed hard for the bill's passage and expressed confidence that the legislature would be able to override Stein's veto. Most Democrats voted against it. But a few supported it, as did all Republicans.
