So did the NC legislature solve the problem or not? You can't say its an issue that should be resolved by the current government and then also claim a prior legislature fixed the problem.
In 2011, Senator Berger's Senate passed the bill that lifted the cap on Charters. Because of that action, North Carolina is now one of the States that doesn't have a cap (Don't worry, DC, New York, California and Massachusetts still have theirs).
We have elections every other year, and funding decisions annually. The Dems and NCAE work to erode gains in charter funding and choices. If you don't believe me, read their "Oppositions" straight from their issue paper on the subject:
The use of school construction funds from the lottery to build charter schools. Already
strapped school systems cannot afford to absorb the loss of lottery funding.
Elimination of the cap without proper and sufficient oversight.
Conversion of private schools to public charter schools.
So they want to keep resources, oppose competition and reduce choice for parents. Why?
