North Carolina judges side with GOP lawmakers for who gets say on highway patrol commander
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A panel of North Carolina judges dismissed one of Democratic Gov. Josh Stein's cases against Republican legislative leaders Monday, upholding part of a power-shifting law that prevents Stein from selecting the State Highway Patrol commander. Three Wake County Civil Superior Court judges made the decision unanimously. The judges' decision means that the dispute won't go to trial, but it can be appealed. The lawsuit focuses on a portion of a more sweeping law passed by the GOP-dominated General Assembly that eroded the governor's powers, as well as the abilities of other top Democrats that hold statewide offices, last year. A day after its passage, Stein and former Gov. Roy Cooper filed the legal challenge that the judges dismissed Monday. The law says Stein cannot select his own commander to the State Highway Patrol and, instead, State Highway Patrol Commander Col. Freddy Johnson will keep the job until 2030. Johnson was appointed by Cooper in 2021 and is a defendant in the lawsuit. In the order that sided with legislative leaders and Johnson, the judges wrote there were 'no genuine issues of material fact' and that the plaintiff — Stein — did not prove that the provision was unconstitutional. An attorney for Stein, Eric Fletcher, had argued in court Monday that the provision guts the governor's abilities and violates the separation of powers. The commander would not be 'directly accountable' to the governor, Fletcher said, but rather 'indirectly accountable' to the General Assembly. Fletcher insisted that the lawsuit was not a reflection of Johnson's character and ability to do his job. Lawyers representing Republican legislative leaders Destin Hall and Phil Berger argued the case should be thrown out because Stein hasn't publicly contended that he wants to remove Johnson from his post and the governor's arguments were largely hypothetical. Johnson's lawyer, William Boyle, further affirmed that there is 'no crisis here' between the governor and the State Highway Patrol commander and that they aren't 'at odds with each other.' Granting the governor the ability to appoint a new commander as the suit makes its way through the courts would also cause 'lasting detrimental harm,' Boyle said. Stein's office is separately fighting another provision in the same state law passed last year that transferred the power to appoint State Board of Elections members from the governor to the state auditor, who is a Republican. Appointments have stayed in place as the provision's constitutionality continues to be debated in courts. They shifted the state elections board from a Democratic to Republican majority.

101 dogs rescued from apparent puppy mill in North Carolina
More than 100 dogs were rescued from an apparent puppy mill in North Carolina where they were kept in 'egregious conditions', an animal shelter said. The SPCA of Wake county on Wednesday removed 101 dogs from a home that appeared to have been functioning as a puppy mill. In a statement online, the shelter said that the dogs had been 'surrounded by their own waste, packed 5 or 6 to a cage and stacked floor to ceiling, or free roaming in cramped quarters and filth'. The shelter, working alongside Raleigh Animal Control, also said that there had been numerous mother dogs with very young nursing puppies, adding that 19 of those dogs were now in SPCA Wake's care. 'These events unfolded very quickly. Within an hour of receiving this call for help, we were on the property ready to take as many pets as possible,' the shelter said. Pictures posted online showed puppies of various breeds in cages and with matted fur as they were being cared for by shelter employees. Speaking to CBS 17, SPCA Wake spokesperson Samantha Ranlet said that many of the dogs were toy poodle mixes, pomeranians, chihuahuas, yorkies and other small 'doodle' mixes. In a follow-up post on Friday, the shelter said that their medical team had been treating each dog's individual needs, adding that a lot of them are suffering from skin and dental issues. 'The matted dirty fur is coming off in heaps,' the shelter said. Additional pictures posted online showed clumps of matted fur being trimmed from dogs of varying sizes. 'We're seeing a lot of smiles from these guys. This is the biggest moment in these dogs' lives, and we are feeling so grateful to be a part of their healing. Thank you to everyone who has donated or reached out in support of these efforts. This rescue is a big undertaking, and we can't do it without you,' the shelter said. In addition to the 101 dogs, the homeowner, whom police said was 'cooperative', also surrendered 21 chickens. Speaking to CBS 17, Ranlet said: 'The dogs in our care are being medically evaluated and some moved into foster homes … They will be placed up for adoption once they have received veterinary care and recuperated. We need to make sure they are healthy and rehabilitated so they can start fresh as somebody's family members.' It remains unclear whether the homeowner will face charges. The Guardian has reached out to the Raleigh police department for comment.
