Scandals and boondoggles
The N&O reports that N.C. House Speaker Joe Hackney will hold a press conference this afternoon on the subject of indicted Rep. Thomas Wright.
Wright's troubles have been building for a long time, and legislative leaders have dealt with them like they always do.
Wait for the courts to handle it.
Thank goodness state and federal prosecutors haven't been as lenient lately about crooked legislators. If it were up to the General Assembly itself, all the messes would be swept under the rug.

Speaking of a mess, it looks like Mecklenburg County Democrats have really screwed up their selection of a new sheriff. And bankruptcy and residency issues aren't the only troubling questions about sheriff-designate Nick Mackey. There's also the matter of his resignation under pressure from the Charlotte-Meck police force in 2003.
Finally this afternoon comes the sad story of the Randy Parton Theatre boondoggle in Roanoke Rapids. Dolly herself has rushed to the defense of her little brother. This is enough to make you wish for the quiet controversy of Sparta's teapot museum. Carolina Journal reporting here.

And to make it worst for Randy, The Carolina Journal is suggesting that Dolly and Randy be Waterboard in front of Art Pope 2 million dollar Beachhouse as another example of the Rich stealing from the good ole boys.

No doubt Brother Mackey has out hustle everybody in Democrat establishment politics in Charlotte including the Carolina Panthers which is not a big deal in politics or professional sports for Charlotte. In fact, Brother Mackey should be name as Head Coach for the Panthers after watching his fancy footwork around the politics of Charlotte.
He just could be the first democrat sheriff waterboard by the Republican party of Charlotte should he arrest Coach Foxx of the Panthers for posing as a Coach
