NC News: Lt. Gov. Forest to sue Gov. Cooper over the Emergency Management Act

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest (R), also a candidate for Governor, issued a letter to Gov. Roy Cooper (D) and a statement today notifying him that “as a member of the Council of State, I will be suing his administration for violating the Emergency Management Act.” In his letter, he references several Executive Orders enacted by the governor without consent of a majority of the Council of State. “The North Carolina Constitution does not create a unitary executive, but rather disburses executive power throughout the Council of State.”
