It appears that political bribery and kickbacks are legal in NC, as long as you call it “economic development.”

Wake County and Raleigh are bribing RBC Centura bank to move its headquarters from Rocky Mount to Fayetteville Street with a $750,000 kickback.  The next time a politician is indicted for illegal campaign finance violations he should call it “economic development” and he will get praise not a jail cell.  

Next, Rocky Mount should bribe Bank of America to move from Charlotte.  Musical chairs at the taxpayers expense.
