Hearing on Easley and Democratic Party under way

Trust me, there is a lot of dirt on Easley. Hopefully the evidence will see the light of day.
I hope so.
Well I’ll be, They actually put the word democratic in the headline
McQueen Campbell is the first on the stand.
Campbell’s firm billed Easley’s campaign for more than $4,700 and another $6,300 in 2005. But Campbell says he’s never been paid for the $87,000 in campaign-related travel. The two checks were to pay for repairs Campbell made to Easley’s house in Raleigh while Easley lived in the Governor’s Mansion.
Campbell says a conversation with Easley led him to believe that Easley wanted Campbell to bill the campaign for flights to offset the cost of the home repairs.
Uh oh, Mike - this isn’t good...
It’s about time that NC government was cleaned up.
There’s more than just a little cuteness going on down on the NC coast, too. Sweetheart deal on a prime waterfront lot, apparent pay-to-play with the contract for Southport Marina.
Oh I know - Cannonsgate will come up soon enough. This will not go well for Easley...
Yes! And I cannot wait until Bev Purdue is sent on her way.Everyone I talk to is ticked off beyond words about her state taxes enacted faster than Bill Clinton enters a brothel.
