Eric Heberlig discusses controversial SB 382 on Queen City News

Eric Heberlig, professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, was interviewed by Queen City News to discuss the controversial North Carolina law, SB 382, which is the focus of another lawsuit filed by Governor Josh Stein. 

SB 382 is a bill promising relief money for Hurricane Helene victims, but it also changes powers held by top state officials. Stein’s lawyers allege that SB 382 will impact who he can appoint to state appellate courts. 

“That’s the type of legislation this was, it’s a big spending bill but it also changes, very substantially, the power of the Governor to appoint officials in the executive,” said Heberlig.
