dec 16 2016 North Carolina's Republican Gov. Pat McCrory has delivered a parting shot to his incoming — and Democratic — successor, using legislation to strip power from the office.

According to Politico, McCrory signed multiple bills into law after the Republican-controlled General Assembly sent them to his desk this week. They take away power from Gov.-elect Roy Cooper, who will take office next month.

Politico reports that the changes to the North Carolina governor's power are:

A reduction of the people the governor can fire from 1,500 to 300.
The governor's political party can no longer control the state board of elections.
Cabinet appointments now require legislative approval.
The ability to appoint trustees to the University of North Carolina moves from the governor to lawmakers.

so... some of the reforms make sense.

In the federal level the senate does confirm the appointments of the executive. Democrats also complain about NC every election cycle so having a bipartisan (2 d 2 r) election committee makes sense.

I dont like the other 2 reforms though.

I think the new governor should be given a chance to veto this like he would any other bill. If the NC congress has enough members to override the veto then ok.
