Hey, What’s Bob Orr been up to?
Bob Orr is back at his old job.
The former Republican gubernatorial candidate has returned as executive director of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law.
After retiring from the state Supreme Court, Orr had served as the nonprofit group’s first head, stepping down in May of last year to run for governor.Â
“My work on the Supreme Court and my recent experience as a candidate for governor strengthened my belief that promoting a greater emphasis on and appreciation for the N.C. Constitution, and the rights it affords and limitations it imposes on government, is a necessary and important objective,” he said in a statement.Â
The institute focuses on public outreach and advocacy as well as litigation to argue that the state lottery and corporate incentives are unconstitutional.
Judge Orr was my candidate for governor earlier this year, for all the good that did him. I hope he does well back at his old job.
