Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Mary Easley not only will not go quietly; she will not go at all.
Her attorney says the former first lady intends "to continue to make outstanding contributions" in her $170,000-a-year job at N.C. State created especially for her.
This is not good for the Democrats or N.C. State. It also defies the wishes of N.C. State Chancellor James Oblinger and UNC President Erskine Bowles, both of whom say she should step down.
The Board of Trustees Chairman at State resigned over this matter, as did the provost who hired her.
But somehow Mary Easley sees herself as above that fray?

Question?
Where were these folks, when she was hired and given this contract?

If Mrs. Easley were a football coach with a losing record she would be bought out for millions and someone would say "we want to go in a different direction and we wish her the best" and it would be a tiny item at the bottom of the page. She has a contract which the ol' boys from down east gave her and i love her smile on the photo where her lawyer is droning about whatever and she is thinking "just eat it boys and girls"
