Carolina Journal’s David Bass reports here on Monday’s action at the state board of elections hearing, which is looking into allegations of campaign finance irregularities and the Mike Easley campaign. From Bass’ story on testimony from McQueen Campbell:

Campbell also said that Easley twice asked him to help with repairs to his Raleigh house. Campbell coordinated the repairs and paid the workers, but said Easley didn’t reimburse him promptly.

“I fully anticipated to get reimbursed for it,” Campbell said. “When he asked me to help him, it was conveyed to me that I would be paid back.”

After Campbell pressed for payment, though, Easley said the cash would come from his campaign stockpile.

“So the Easley campaign and its contributors actually paid for the repairs to Gov. Easley’s home,” Leake asked.

“That’s correct,” Campbell replied.

Bass will be live-blogging today’s hearing, so check in here throughout the day.
