A Republic lead bill to adopt some more state symbols. To ursurp some responces I'll say it's obvious that the Republicans had an agenda here, that this isn't small government, and not about jobs.
That said, looks like school children were involved here.
Also, North Carolina leads the nation and world in salamander diversity.
"§ 145‑41. State fossil.
The fossilized teeth of the megalodon shark is adopted as the official fossil of the State of North Carolina.
"§ 145‑42. State frog.
The pine barrens tree frog (Hyla andersonii) is adopted as the official frog of the State of North Carolina.
"§ 145‑43. State salamander.
The marbled salamander (Ambystoma opacum) is adopted as the official salamander of the State of North Carolina.
"§ 145‑44. State marsupial.
The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is adopted as the official marsupial of the State of North Carolina.
"§ 145‑45. State folk art.
The whirligigs created by Vollis Simpson are adopted as the official folk art of the State of North Carolina.
"§ 145‑46. State art medium.
Clay is adopted as the official art medium of the State of North Carolina."
I don't know who Clay is but I don't think we should be adopting mediums. Bonus: I thought Jesse Helms was the state fossil.
Politics aside, what do you think of these choices? What would you have picked instead?
I just hope none of these salamanders live near a landfill.
