Tuesday at the capitol
There's too much going on today. Some of the items:
- The Council of State met this morning. Gov. Mike Easley, Lt. Gov. Perdue and AG Cooper were not in the house. The rest of the crew approved an addition to the Haw River Park.
- Easley did hold a presser on mental health today. He and DHHS Sec. Dempsey Benton gave a long spiel on the fixes they would make. They left the room before reporters were done asking questions. Click here to read about that.
- The hearings about the alleged misdeeds of Rep. Thomas Wright continue at the legislature. Lawyers for Wright attempted to have Rep. Rick Glazier removed as chairman of the proceeding, alleging he was acting in a racist manner. The committee declined and the case rolls on.
