RALEIGH, N.C. — State Rep. Ty Harrell, D-Wake, who is under investigation over campaign expenditures, has resigned, according to Bill Holmes, a spokesman for House Speaker Joe Hackney.

"With the recent turbulence in my personal life and continued speculation about my campaign expenditures, I do not feel that I can provide the high standard of representation that my constituents expect and deserve," Harrell said in his resignation letter submitted to Hackney on Sunday.

Harrell's spending in recent months has been called into question. Harrell and his wife have also separated amidst allegations he has engaged in extramarital affairs, according to court documents. The couple has two sons.

Heh. I just made a similar comment on the NC board. I don’t know if it’s just around here, but a lot of the black Dem politicians like to wear bow-ties, just like all of Farrakhan’s stooges.

Ok .. thanks .. searched for Democrat and Republican
and neither came up.

Notice how his party designation is purposely
being VERY understated ... par for the media course.
Now, if he was a Pubbie ..........

They did slip in a tiny “D” rather than write out the word.
