When MSNBC viewers watched a story this week on the controversy surrounding former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, they had a chance to see Carolina Journal Executive Editor Don Carrington‘s aerial photo of Edwards’ palatial Orange County home. Speaking of Carrington and controversial political figures, a WWAY Television editorial cited Carrington’s work in exposing the questionable activity surrounding former N.C. Sen. R.C. Soles, D-Columbus. Carrington discussed the latest developments in the Soles case during an appearance this week with Chad Adams on the WLTT Radio morning program. A Lincoln Tribune article on the N.C. House’s plans to try to override a gubernatorial veto of a voter identification bill featured Carrington’s photo of Speaker Thom Tillis. N.C. Senate Republicans, Watchdog.org, and the Beaufort Observer all took note of Associate Editor David Bass‘ report on the Lee County Board of Education’s controversial decision to extend the school superintendent’s contract for a year. M2M Politics highlighted Bass’ report on the declining value of property that former House Speaker Jim Black surrendered during his corruption case. The Heartland Institute’s Budget & Tax News published Bass’ article on the General Assembly’s historic veto override vote on the new North Carolina state budget. N.C. Senate Republicans also promoted Associate Editor Sara Burrows‘ report on legislators’ efforts to control the size of residents’ waistlines. The Richmond County Daily Journal published Mitch Kokai’s recent column about politicians overpromising benefits for public-sector workers.
