J. Fred Stansell: Cooper’s power grab
Regarding the Jan. 5 news article “Cooper’s Medicaid expansion sparks fight with lawmakers”: Gov. Roy Cooper, so power hungry, he could not wait one second to grasp the reins of power. It calls to mind Napoleon grabbing his crown from the pope and crowning himself. The analogy does not end, as Cooper has shown no hesitancy in ignoring laws with which he disagrees. A law unto himself is our governor.
