North Carolina’s outgoing GOP governor just stuck it to his Democratic successor.

Gov. Pat McCrory (R), who describes portions of the recently passed legislation that significantly curbs the power of his successor, Democratic Gov.-elect Roy Cooper, as “wrong and shortsighted,” signed it Monday anyway.



“This … needs to be resolved through the leadership skills of the governor-elect,” McCrory said.

In other words: I don't agree with this, but I’ll sign it anyway. It’s your problem now.
