Holy Cow
Day 2 of the the State Board of Elections hearings concerning Speaker Jim Black’s fund raising just got fun.
We’re hearing testimony that allies of Black were asked to donate to former High Point Rep. Steve Wood because Wood, in 2003, was going to support Black for Speaker that year. Wood, according to the testimony so far, backed out of that deal and the checks were never cashed.
And yes, Wood is in the house, apparently waiting to testify as of 3 p.m.
More to come later, but I have to pay attention now.
