They did the right thing. Now lets hope he does jail time. These are the crooks from here to DC running the country. No wonder we are in deep ****

I'm shocked they would dare to expel a crooked politician. He must have refused to share the money.

Ed said: My faith has been renewed in our NC Legislature. Hurrah!

Thank God 105 NC legislators know the difference between "wright" and wrong!!!

Isn't wonderful that our legislature showed a little respect for the law!
It will make my day when they put Wright in prison, hopefully, with Black! So far as I am concerned they can put Decker with them and let Black clean Wright's toilet and Decker can polish his shoes! Wright can make their beds while they each reflect on how they got there! Each of them deserve their disgrase and prison!

Kathy: only one member who voted to remove Wright is from Greensboro: Rep. Earl Jones. Two are from Winston-Salem.

I have removed "Kathy's" comment from the page for a violation of terms of service. While anonymous posting is allowed, appropriating someone else's name and e-mail address is not. A second violation will result in an IP ban.

How sad that the Greensboro contingent is so blind! It reflects badly on our county and brings into question the ability of our elected representatives to use good judgement and that they have respect the law! Sounds like a take off of Ms. Obama " I am not proud of my country or close to that". A thorough analysis by the State and a confirmation by 109 NC representatives, a very solid majority probably have it right! Common Horse sense would question why it was not unanimous concurrance. There is enough corruption locally without carrying it to Raleigh! The late Mr. King and a few other current activists come to mind! Hopefully we are not a breeding pool for stubborn ignorance!
