"After city planners delayed a state parking deck near the Capitol, state officials quietly rammed through the legislature a bill that stripped the city of its power to approve -- or deny -- the project."

Quote :

""It's just the typical finger in the eye to the city of Raleigh," Councilman Philip Isley said. "[That happens] each time the state has an opportunity to do it.""

Quote :

"The bill could have implications far beyond a single parking deck. The state owns about 60 parcels in the area affected by the bill, and multimillion-dollar projects are in the works. State officials promise they won't build anything Raleigh wouldn't approve. But city leaders aren't satisfied."

If now they would only strip the COR of their right to have an extra territorial jurisdiction that they control but dont provide services to.

I swear, if they don't build that parking deck on the old Kings space, somebody's getting stabbed.
