flag A North Carolina court lets GOP limit governor’s board picks on some issues but blocks it on others, citing separation of powers.

flag A North Carolina appeals court ruled that the Republican-led legislature can limit the governor’s appointment power on some state boards, upholding changes to four commissions related to environmental, wildlife, coastal, and building code policies, while striking down reforms to three others—transportation, public health, and economic incentives—over concerns about weakening executive authority. flag The court found that giving legislative majorities control over appointments to those three boards violated the constitutional separation of powers, affirming the governor’s majority appointment authority on the upheld boards. flag The decision, part of a long-running dispute over executive vs. legislative power, reflects ongoing tensions since 2016 and could be appealed further.
