Under the Dome reports,
The N.C. Association of Educators hired a former aide to Gov. Mike Easley as its executive director.
Scott Anderson, who went to work for the National Education Association after he left Easley’s office, was caught up in the lottery scandal and former lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings 2006 fraud trial, Lynn Bonner reports.
…
A federal jury convicted Geddings of fraud for failing to disclose thousands of dollars in advertising and consulting work he performed for a lottery company in the years before his appointment to the lottery commission.Anderson called Geddings 46 times while he worked in Easley’s office. He later reimbursed the state for the calls, saying they were personal.
Anderson helped launch radio ads targeting three Republican senators, which Geddings produced. Anderson was a prosecution witness at Geddings’ trial.
For eight years, the Easley administration and the NCAE/NEA were like corn and lima beans. Now, the lima beans are hiring the corn to create a “succotash of destruction,” designed to strengthen the destructive public school monopoly. (Remember, public schools are holy and we are merely their humble servants.)
