What kind of financial benefits might one expect after this type of appointment? I might want to challenge the lack of public advertisment.

Cronyism is alive and well in NC.

Does anyone notice a longtime trend here...Democrat, Erskine Bowles leaves Clinton administration, given job as president of the University of North Carolina System, Democrat, Mary Easley's high paying position at NC State for which no one else could possibly be qualified, and now Dan Gerlach, a top economic adviser to Democrat, Gov. Mike Easley, named president of the Golden LEAF Foundation. High paying positions for the well connected....under the guise of "public service"....and the beat goes on.

I guess the pay to play continues. Now we have a Easley man in charge of the Golden leaf. I hope he does a better job than the Easley administration has done with many other issues in NC. Like corruption, closed government, roads, mental healthcare, and education.
