Check this out - it’s a video that shows political corruption in our state Senate happening *in real time.*

First I point out that GOP leadership keeps canceling the veto override vote every time all the Dems are present - hoping they can catch us unaware and override the veto.
THEN a Republican Senator stands up and says, "We'll call [a vote] at the right time. I hope you'll miss it."

Then all the Republican Senators erupt in laughter.

(Corruption = comedy?)

You can tell by my reaction that, in my view, he just made my case for me.
Watch for yourself.

And keep in mind: This isn’t just a harmless game. *It’s the reason there’s no budget in NC* - because they've opted for corruption instead of compromise for the last three months.
