Gov. Mike Easley's plane just landed in Southport.
After attending an economic summit held by Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama in Chicago this morning, Easley flew back to the Brunswick County airport on a state-owned Cessna Citation Bravo, Ben Niolet reports.
Spokesman Seth Effron said that Easley does not have any public events scheduled "at this time" down East this weekend, so he will reimburse the state for the flight.
"The taxpayers will not pay any expenses related to this travel," he said.
Easley left Raleigh-Durham International airport at 4 p.m. Thursday for Chicago Midway International and landed at 2:25 p.m. today in Brunswick County.

Re: Easley will pay for Chicago flight
Sleazely sent his wife, Mary, to Asheville today, totally UNannounced of course, to dedicate a new tree...an American Chestnut planted on the grounds of the Western Governors Home that they are never seen at...
Guess she took a state jet here to dedicate the tree today, too...wish I had a fleet of jets at my disposal...
Wonder if the 'governor' is feeling guilty about all the other (147+) questionable jet flights yet?
and then a $61,000 limousine bill, too? such are the extravagances of these crooks at TAXPAYER expense...
Please RESIGN NOW, Easely, for the GOOD of the state of NC!
