Our sister blog in Wilmington once again alerts us to a call for Jim Black to resign. The Wilmington Star-News asks “Now will Black finally go?” and then explains why that might be a good idea:
If Black doesn’t have the decency and good sense to resign as the leader of N.C. House Democrats, Democrats ought to remove him. If they don’t care about ethics, and apparently many don’t, you’d think they’d at least care about their own political futures.
Black and his lawyers point out that, though state and federal officials are sniffing around him, he hasn’t been formally accused of a crime. Not yet.
But Jim Black is the hub of a wheel of corruption, greased with money.
As ever, the corruption Black-out from the Speaker’s home-town edit page continues.
