Statement from Rick Glazier, Executive Director of the NC Justice Center: Investors’ criticism of HB2 lays waste to argument against bill’s economic impact

RALEIGH (September 27, 2016) — For months now, Governor McCrory and legislative leaders have — despite all evidence to the contrary — downplayed the highly destructive economic impact of House Bill 2.

Yesterday’s statement by 50 major national and international investment managers with more than $2.1 trillion in assets lays waste to that argument. HB2 must be unconditionally repealed.
