Hey the "legit' media will still help her and we know all about those millions of dollars being poured into the state against McCrory and Perdue. These liberal left wing(527's) would support corrupt democrats over honest Republicans any day.

That's interesting that Bev returned contributions from Green & Wright (my hunch is the contributions were a lot more than the $200 that she criticized Mayor McCrory for receiving from a contributor) even though they have not yet been accused of any wrongdoing.

I would imagine that Bev knows more than anyone about the payoffs and that she is trying to distance herself from them, including deleting email and keeping busy at the shredder.

But corrupt politicians can't cover all of their tracks in today's eWorld. Maybe the FBI ought to get involved because we sure can't trust anyone in NC to uncover her improprieties. I can't wait to learn what her role was!

While you are googling, I hope you notice that ethanol can and will be made with products other than corn.

If you spend too much time thinking of all the stupid ____ the characters in Raleigh have been up to the last few years it's enough to make one quite stupdified by their stupidity.
I will apologize in advance for underlined areas, grammatical and any spelling errors.

So where is Rick Watson these days?

Carolina Journal has a long-running series of articles on the scandal as it unfolds.

Why do these people always get amnesia? "I may have been", well which is it? Were you a part of the team or not? Mr. Tolson do you remember IBP?

I may have been part of a team that was trying to get ethanol alternative energy plants in North Carolina,” said Tolson, who is now president and chief executive of the N.C. Biotechnology Center
