North Carolina isn’t the only state where investigations are under way into the alleged trading of campaign contributions for certain favors. A federal grand jury in Alabama has indicted former governor Don Siegleman for soliciting contributions in exchange for such things as, oh, being able to appoint certain cabinet members.
Full disclaimer: I once worked for Fob James (who is mentioned in the linked post) and knew Siegelman well when his Secretary of State’s office backed up to my office in the capitol in Montgomery in the late ’70s.
