North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest announced Thursday in a Facebook post that he plans to file a lawsuit against Gov. Roy Cooper.

“Today, I notified Governor Cooper that, as a member of the Council of State, I will be suing his administration for violating the Emergency Management Act,” the post said. “The Governor has repeatedly ignored the law, enacting mandates that selectively target the businesses and citizens of North Carolina without concurrence from a majority of the Council of State.”

Forest added that before he officially files the suit, Cooper is required by law to approve his use of independent legal counsel.

While it is good for someone to standup to Old Roy I also believe this is a smooth move for November when Lt Dan goes up against Old Roy in the Governor’s race ...

Agreed, Forest has been very active on social media and critical of Cooper, I think very clearly because of November. Not to say that I disagree with much of what he says, I just don’t think his motive is strictly “doing what is best for NC citizens”.

I wish we had multiple leaders in every state who were legally challenging these dictator-like orders, but that’s clearly not going to happen.
 
"Forest added that before he officially files the suit, Cooper is required by law to approve his use of independent legal counsel. "


And how long does Cooper have to respond? In other words, how long can he drag this out?
