Turns out, he should have been.
A handful of companies have said in recent days they would either pull, reconsider or avoid projects in North Carolina.
This includes PayPal, Google Ventures, Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, and Red Ventures.
Many of the state’s biggest employers have signed a letter of opposition as well.
A similar movement helped overturn a comparable bill in Georgia but so far in North Carolina, lawmakers have shown no signs of backing down.
