Breaking silence on Boylan


State Rep. Debbie Clary is "breaking silence" among fellow House Republicans about the behavior of Rep. Joe Boylan.

The Pilot of Southern Pines reported that Clary, a Cherryville Republican, accused Boylan of lying when he said "nothing happened" between him and a female state representative.

Boylan, a Moore County Republican, had told the newspaper previously that allegations that he had made an improper advance on state Rep. Tricia Cotham, a Mecklenburg County Democrat, was "untrue" and "baseless."

Clary told the paper that the House GOP caucus had told Boylan to apologize to Cotham for his behavior, and that he had done so.

Made sense to me

Boylan groped and grabbed.
Boylan lied about it.
Boylan got caught.

I read that Pilot story three times and I'm still not sure what it said.

Bottomline, this bunch needs to stay out of steakhouses.
