The state senate took a step Tuesday towards requiring North Carolina parents to install booster seats in their cars for children up to eight-years old. Some Republicans, according to the AP, ?voted against the bill, speaking out primarily on libertarian and economic grounds?:
“Government is more and more involved in people’s everyday lives telling them how to look after their children, telling them minute by minute what they’re supposed to do,” said Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. That bill does just that, he said.
