That would be Jim Black, according to what Michael Decker said in a Raleigh courtroom this morning.
Dum dum da dum-dum.
Gee, do you think the rush to get off the Jim Black bandwagon might pick up speed between now and Tuesday?
Black and his lawyer Ken Bell have yet to respond to Decker’s statement. Decker, recall, pleaded guilty in August to taking a $50,000 bribe from an unknown state Democrat leader to swtich party’s and support Jim Black for speaker. As part of his plea agreement, Decker is to help federal prosecutors continue their investigation of public corruption in state government.
