Former U.S. Sen. Robert Morgan remembered former Gov. Bob Scott this morning.

"I think he was one of our best governors," said Morgan, who served as North Carolina's attorney general when Scott was govenor. "He was a governor of the people."

Morgan said Scott was a progressive governor, much like his father before him, Rob Christensen reports.

Morgan recalled that when he was attorney general, Scott was supportive of his efforts to create the N.C. Justice Academy to provide a statewide training facility for law enforcement officers and to beef up the state's crime lab.

"He was very supportive of what we were doing," Morgan said this morning.
