Beason off Centennial Authority

Don Beason has not been reappointed to the Centennial Authority.

The top-ranked lobbyist was not reappointed to the board that oversees the RBC Center, but it's not because of the $500,000 loan he gave to disgraced former House Speaker Jim Black, Dan Kane reports.

Beason's four-year appointment ran out June 30, and House Speaker Joe Hackney had decided months earlier to appoint Harold Hart, a Pittsboro businessman, according to Hackney's spokesman, Bill Holmes.

Hackney also decided to reappoint Michael Weeks, a former Wake County commissioner and a Democrat, to another four-year term. The appointments are part of an omnibus appointments bill that is expected to clear the legislature before it finishes its business, possibly today.

Other members of the 21-person board are appointed by the N.C. Senate, the city of Raleigh, Wake County, the Wake County Mayors Association and the chancellor of N.C. State University.
