Wilmington Journal: Wright should go


An African-American newspaper in Wilmington has called for Rep. Thomas Wright to step down.

In an open letter to the Wilmington Democrat published yesterday, the Wilmington Journal's editorial staff called on him to step down after the May 24 crossover deadline:

If there is one unselfish act or sentiment left in you, given all that you face, we ask of you to think of the people who trusted you, and give them this important opportunity to have effective leadership again.

Step down, Thomas, as one last bold act of service.

The 10,000 circulation weekly, a member of the BlackPressUSA Network, was founded in 1927.
