The Fayetteville Observer's editorial board has called for Rep. Thomas Wright to resign.
In an unsigned editorial today, the newspaper said the campaign finance irregularities are not about the Wilmington Democrat's guilt or innocence, but the legislature's "battered reputation."
That's why Wright should step down until the charges are resolved. If he's cleared, he can run again. Until then, the institution is more important than the man.
As usual, a full list is below the jump.
