Former Black aide denied license


The state Real Estate Commission failed to issue a license to Meredith Norris.

The former aide to disgraced House Speaker Jim Black passed a licensing exam but the commission did not issue her a license after considering her application on July 10.

State law requires applicants demonstrate "good moral character," though a criminal record is not necessarily a hindrance.

Last August, Norris pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to disclose that she was lobbying for lottery vendor Scientific Games.

Representatives of the licensing division were not available, and attempts to reach Norris were not successful. (The Insider)
