With this story everyone but the blind and little children can see that the Mike Easley sleaze factor has damaged the reputation and standing of state law enforcement — just like Bill Clinton’s corrosive effect on Arkansas troopers in the late 80s and early 90s.
I hereby challenge State Highway Patrol Capt. Alan Melvin to take a lie detector test on the question of what he delivered to Easley’s doorstep back in February. I want the examiner to ask Melvin if he dropped off Easley’s flight and travel records, the ones that were set to be released to the N&O the following day.
And I bet all honest North Carolinians do too.
