State Sen. Julia Boseman stuck to business Tuesday.
The New Hanover Democrat declined to talk about disclosures that she defaulted on a $1.3 million loan on her former home and smoked marijuana the year before she was elected to the legislature.
Duringa child custody hearing in December, Boseman testified that she had problems with drugs at the tail end of her relationship with her then-domestic partner in 2003. Details of her financial troubles surfaced at a different court hearing last week. (AP)
Boseman, the first openly gay legislator in North Carolina, said that she willingly testified in order to keep access to her adopted son.
"Some time ago, I was faced with a choice of losing my son or having the most intimate details of my private life exposed to the public," she said. "Like any good parent, I put my son before everything else in my life and will continue to fight for him and my family."
Her Republican opponent, attorney Michael Lee, said he would focus on political differences in his campaign. (WS-N)




Re: More revelations for Senator Julia Boseman
One more thing, I didn't say I thought it was against the law, I asked if it is ethical.
