North Carolina Mayor Warns Texas of Manmade Recession If Bathroom Bill Passes

[TexasTowelie]

A North Carolina mayor issued a warning Thursday to Texas lawmakers concerning Senate Bill 6, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s anti-transgender bathroom bill.

Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan said a similar law in the Tarheel State — House Bill 2 — has created a “manmade recession,” and recently prompted a Fortune 500 company to decide not to relocate its headquarters to her city.

Vaughan added that the law, estimated to have cost North Carolina’s economy hundreds of millions of dollars, has been especially harmful to low-wage, hourly workers who rely on jobs related to concerts and sporting events.

“I have not heard of one business that has said, ‘I’m coming to North Carolina because of HB 2,’” Vaughan said. “I would caution your legislature to be careful, because repealing it is much harder than passing it.”

2. The problem is that these particular

law makers do not care about low-wage hourly workers. Think about it, if they did they would not approve of Trumps labor guy but they do.

3. There have been several articles

in the Houston Chronicle mentioning it will be bad for business.
