Today, the Eight Ball takes on The Whiteville News Reporter.

The Columbus County newspaper reported today that longtime Superior Court Judge Bill Gore Jr. abruptly resigned his seat Tuesday.

He said he has not been offered another position in state government, but that didn't stop the newspaper from reporting this rumor:

There was much speculation Wednesday that Gore would be tapped by Gov. Easley to held the state's Division of Motor Vehicles, a post vacated two weeks ago by George Tatum's resignation.

Gore, who went to N.C. Central University's law school with Easley, used to play basketball with the governor back in the day.

The Eight Ball's verdict: "As I see it, yes."
