The Fayetteville Observer pwns the Easleys in this editorial, registering disgust at Mary’s vow to fight her termination:
It appears that she feels no sense of embarrassment or shame – not about the job itself, nor about the pall this scandal is draping over North Carolina’s reputation. She’s yet to say a word about this controversy, letting her lawyer make a few comments on her behalf.
It’s beginning to appear that, from the Easley perspective, this is all about the money, and everything else can take a back seat.
All of this makes us wonder what’s next. Will Mike and Mary try to get the state jet back?
It boggles the mind why Mary would try to get severance when public opinion, and the brutal financial scenario at N.C. State University, are all against her. What is/was she thinking?
