Two stories from this weekend's paper:

Rep. Alma Adams had more to say about the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus and its foundation. In a response to her comments news release, Democratic gadfly and soon to be (temporary) resident of Canada Joe Sinsheimer wrote this:

"Rep. Adams has taken some important steps in reforming the Legislative Black Caucus Foundation but her statement still falls short of real transparency particularly in regard to the full disclosure of the foundation's donors. Our elected officials should not be raising money from special interest groups and lobbyists in secret for any purpose, no matter how noble. In the wake of the Jim Black and Thomas Wright indictments, Rep. Adams should be more sensitive to the public's right to know."

From Sunday's paper, and I know this will come as a shock, but U.S. Senate candidates need to raise lots of money for their election.
