RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - "Little drama" is the way the North Carolina League of Municipalities describes Wednesday's first legislative day in its latest LeagueLINC Bulletin.

The Bulletin is available at nclm.org.

"A new session of the North Carolina General Assembly began on Wednesday with little drama, as Rep. Tim Moore was chosen as the new House speaker and Sen. Phil Berger was elected by his fellow senators to another term as Senate president pro tem," states the Bulletin.

"The House voted to elect Representative Moore by acclamation, with no one else nominated for the post. The House Republican Caucus had selected Representative Moore as its choice for the post following the November election, and one of his rivals for the position at that time -- Rep. Leo Daughtry -- formally nominated him on the House floor on Wednesday."

The Bulletin also includes information on:

-- Temporary House Rules Represent Significant Change
