Easley off to Italy

Gov. Mike Easley is hitting the road this weekend. And, no, it's not to his home in Southport.

Easley left today for Italy for what his office is calling a business development trip. He has stops planned for Rome (meeting with U.S. embassy officials and hosting an event for Italian tourism operators), Florence and Padova (meeting with representatives of Italian manufacturing, construction, energy, transportation and service industries), and Montalcino (meeting with Italian winemakers).

One of Easley's visits will be to Arneg, an Italian manufacturing company that is building a plant in Davidson County.

Confiscate his passport, so that he cannot return to further CORRUPT the state of NC.

And if he is not successful luring any industry to NC perhaps he should reimburse us for this wonderful vacation.

Dang. If I were Easley I believe I'd find a good reason to go to Italy myself. Utterly beautiful place. Maybe he missed the story breaking about his office's political interference with the trooper's job.
