Thank you for following through with the fight against this incredibly deceptive piece of legislation and filing this ethics complaint against one of its sponsors. I have only recently become involved in the workings of our legislature but have quickly realized that our elected officials do not even pretend to work for the benefit of the people. Instead, with the help of legislative teams, lawyers, and lobbyists, they further an agenda that is hidden from us and designed to directly or indirectly benefit them.
HB 520 was tabled, but it is highly likely that it will be resurrected in some way in future sessions. Perhaps formal ethics complaints such as yours will be a deterrent. I will be printing this post as an instruction manual.
THANK YOU! How can I assist you? I have been reading your substack about this and following it. I heard Jones speak last night at the Forsyth County legislative recap, and he glossed over 520, claiming it is very 'misunderstood', but in the same breath talked about the increasing need for technology in healthcare, education, transportation, and infrastructure, including 'wearables', as well as public/private partnerships (which leads directly to fascism, in the true sense of the word). He claimed that Chickfila is a 'technology company selling chicken sandwiches' and that Coke is a 'technology company selling drinks', etc. This is very alarming given his deep financial interest in 'wearable technology'. I appreciated the paragraph in your complaint that talked about other representatives buying in, unbeknownst to them, as my own rep, Carter Barrett, is a shareholder in Talitrix, although he downplays the amount of his investment and his knowledge of what it's all about. The tentacles of this go very deep.
Thank you for your dogged persistence in tracking this down and all the information you have brought to light.
Wow, you dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s on this one, Hank. Thanks for your perseverance in this and other matters. I look forward to seeing Mr. Jones' answer to the complaint. Please keep us posted. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
