RALEIGH (AP) — A former political director for House Speaker Jim Black is one of three former lottery company workers who have been charged with violating state lobbying laws, according to court documents released Monday.Meredith Norris worked on staff in Black's office from 1999-2002, but quit to work as a lobbyist while staying with his campaign as a volunteer until late last summer. After a seven-month investigation, Wake County prosecutors have also charged former lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings, along with former Scientific Games International vice president Edward Alan Middleton, for failing to register as lobbyists last year with the Secretary of State's office.
