Falmlen: No account for Easley


The former executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party said the party did not have a separate account for funneling money to former Gov. Mike Easley.

Scott Falmlen said he was in the best position to know what went on with campaign finance between the party and Easley's campaign.

Two big donors have earlier testified to the State Board of Elections that they gave large checks to the party that they expected to be passed along to Easley. Board members have made reference to a special "Governor's Fund" within the party.

Falmlen said the term was a code applied to contributions so the party would know how much money Easley's campaign had raised for the party.

"It was not a bank account. It was a source code," Falmlen said.
