Wright indicted
I just flew in from Florida (really) and boy are my arms tired (from schlepping a couple kids off the airplane).
While I'm still catching up on the news of the day, this will be the big thing folks are talking about around Raleigh for the next few days:
RALEIGH -- A Wake County grand jury has indicted Democratic state Rep. Thomas Wright on five counts of fraud and one count of obstruction of justice.Wake County prosecutor Colon Willoughby says Wright is expected to make an initial court appearance in the next few days. Willoughby says he does not expect to charge anyone else in the case.
Wright, of New Hanover County, left his house in Wilmington and drove away in a sport utility vehicle without speaking to reporters, WECT-TV reported.
