Bill was a power grab

To the Editor:

I’m not certain, Senator Kevin Corbin, R-Franklin, that your constituency thoroughly understands your characterization of Senate Bill 382 as an “historic legislative response.”  

Given what we do know to be true, that: institutional environments of modern society (such as yours) consistently induce standard patterns of response in terms of perceptions, attitudes, and values despite the countervailing randomizing effect of persistent traditional models of culture.

In other words, Senate Bill 382 is simply just one more irrefutable and enormously shameless power grab perpetrated by the Republican Party. Is it not, Senator Corbin???

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
