Cannonsgate is back in the news, reports Andy Curliss of the News & Observer. It’s all part of the federal investigation into issues and people with ties to former governor Mike Easley. From the N&O:
Federal investigators are seeking information about possible payoffs to state officials, as well as four major coastal developments assembled by businessmen with ties to former Gov. Mike Easley.
In a round of subpoenas issued this week, the FBI contacted six officials from the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources and asked for specific information about whether they have been paid by a long list of people associated with developers Gary and Randy Allen.
Carolina Journal investigative reporter Don Carrington has been on the Cannonsgate story for more than two years. You can read his stories here.
