A group of high profile North Carolinians is organizing with hopes of finding a compromise and possibly proposing legislative solutions to House Bill 2.

North Carolina’s new law, which rolls back protections for the LGBT community in the state, has put the state in an undesirable spotlight around the nation and the world.

The group will be led by former Lieutenant Governor Dennis Wicker, a Democrat, and Republican businessman Art Pope, who served as Pat McCrory’s budget director.

Former Republican Governor Jim Martin will serve as one of the group’s honorary chairmen. Martin had previously called for a group such as this to form.

In an interview with WRAL, Martin said that the bill has created “a debacle that’s been very embarrassing and painful for the state’s economy.”

John Hood, president of the Pope’s Family Foundation will also be a part of the group.

Hood and Pope are organizing the working group, which plans to involve a dozen or more individuals from both sides of the issue. The group might also include members of the legislature and the Charlotte City Council.

The tentative name for the group is the FAIR working group, for Facility Access Inclusion and Respect, according to the News and Observer.

Polls show that this issue has divided North Carolina voters, so finding a common ground and even a legislative solution on HB 2 will not be an easy task for the working group.
