State capital news no longer will be delivered via the baritone of Matt Willoughby.
The veteran N.C. News Network reporter bade farewell to the press corps, legislators and lobbyists alike on Tuesday. There was even a cake, which was NOT paid for by any special interests.
Willoughby has covered the legislature full time for nearly a decade and reported on it and other Raleigh happenings for twice that long. He took a company buyout and is headed for ventures yet to be determined.
Radio listeners would recognize the deep intonation with which he delivered authoritative reports, while visitors to the Legislative Building would recognize him as the guy taking all those outdoor cigarette breaks, which helped make that voice possible!
Safe travels, Matt. You'll be missed.
