Moore money
Remember Larry Moore, the lawyer who defended Guilford County commissioner wannabe John Parks during that seemlingly endless election dispute?
The man is owed some serious money. From a fundraiser announcement sent to local Dems:
It is asked that attendees make a minimum contribution of $50--every dime of which will be used to honor the obligation to Larry Moore. The legal costs of the battle to make sure every person's vote does count are substantial--almost $90,000--and about $45,000 must be raised to fully honor the obligation to Larry Moore and his firm.
Said Guilford Democratic Chairman Paul Mengert: "I think when Larry got started with it, everybody assumed it would take a week or two of dispute, like most election controversies, and then be resolved."
Not this one. It dragged on for 18 months before a series of N.C. Supreme Court rulings in May forced Trudy Wade, Parks' Republican opponent, to concede. Parks is serving an abbreviated term that ends in 2008.
