Pat McCrory highlighted his proposals for government reform at the Tuesday session on ethics by the N.C. Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform in Raleigh.
McCrory called for:
* Weekly Internet reports from campaigns showing who gave them money.
* A ban on cash contributions (now limited to $50).
* A prohibition on legislators raising money for nonprofits. Relatives of several legislators received scholarships in recent years from a nonprofit for which the lawmakers raised money.
* A requirement that legislators publicly stand up and declare their conflict of interest on a piece of legislation.
* A veto of any budget with items added in private sessions and not by the House or Senate during the regular budget process.
* No campaign fundraising by transportation, university or ABC boards.
* Public listing of all state contracts and bids.
* Public access to copies of the governor's e-mail.

Re: McCrory's plan for government reform
Some of those are horrible ideas. People have to write checks to give a 5 dollar contribution? Thats a little absurd.
Do these regulations mean that Patty would give a speech everytime anything about duke power or charlotte came to his desk?
