The State Board of Elections recently fined Gov. Beverly Perdue?s campaign $30,000 in connection with unreported campaign flights ? ending an investigation into the matter. Don Carrington assesses the significance of the elections board?s actions during the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio.
You?ll also hear highlights from a testy exchange between two men with very different takes on the Perdue case. N.C. Republican Party chairman Tom Fetzer believes the Board of Elections should have taken sworn testimony from key players involved with the unreported flights, while Perdue campaign spokesman Marc Farinella says Fetzer is just trying to make the Democratic governor look bad.
Two experts from the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law will discuss cases scheduled for oral arguments in the N.C. Supreme Court during the next week.

Meanwhile, attorney Jason Kay will discuss a suit challenging North Carolina?s ballot access restrictions.
