Black could lose optometry license
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2007-10-16 07:09
The N.C. Board of Optometry will hold a disciplinary hearing on Jim Black.
The state agency, which regulates optometrists, is considering revoking the former House speaker's license because of his felony convictions, admitted alcoholism, immoral conduct and unprofessional conduct.
Executive Director John Robinson said that hearings are rare because most optometrists settle the matter beforehand, but he said that he has not heard from Black or his representatives.
"Our last word was that he will not surrender it," said Robinson.
Black could seek to delay the hearing, set for 9 a.m on Dec. 12, because it would be difficult for him to leave the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa. (Char-O)
