Activist North Carolina Judge Forces State to Continue DNC Money Laundering Scheme



An activist North Carolina judge has ruled the state must continue to act as an accounting arm for the N.C. Association of Educators, and that the taxpayers must continue to pay for this money laundering scheme that funnels its dues to the Democratic Party.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Gessner issued his order last month in favor of the North Carolina Association of Educators, which announced the decision Thursday. Gessner ruled the state’s largest teacher lobbying group was the victim of “retaliatory viewpoint discrimination.”


State House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, said in 2011 the law cutting off NCAE from collecting membership dues from paychecks was payback for the group’s political activity. He called the group a “political machine for the Left.” The association is a force in state politics and was close to departing Gov. Beverly Perdue, a Democrat.
Spokesmen for Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, declined comment on the ruling.


Lawmakers cut off NCAE’s dues collection while leaving alone payroll deductions for all other employee associations in the state, including three unions such as the State Employees Association of North Carolina.
About 80 percent of NCAE’s revenues came from the checkoffs before the law was passed. The group represents about a third of the state’s 180,000 schoolhouse workers.

Retaliatory?   Who in the hell does this judge think he is?  A legislator?  Our duly elected representatives passed a law putting a stop to this nonsense.  If this union wants to collects dues from its member they can pay for it themselves.
This ruling is an abomination of justice.  The state of North Carolina should ignore this ignominious blathering of a Democratic Party tool.
