New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was reportedly in Greensboro yesterday attending a fundraiser for former Mayor Pat McCrory, who more than likely will take on Gov. Bev Perdue in next year’s election.
Christie’s visit coincides with news that former Greensboro Chamber of Commerce president Peter Reichard was among three former Perdue campaign workers were indicted for obstruction of justice.
The governor also faces a difficult decision after the Senate voted to repeal the Racial Justice Act. Perdue must decide whether to sign SB 9 into law or veto it.
Update: The N&R’s Doug Clark analyzes, showing why the bill is a rewrite instead of a repeal, although Raleigh Democratic Sen. Josh Stein maintains the bill “is an utter and total repeal.”
