Harris: Not defending myself now


An attorney for a state workers' group said he will not defend himself today.

As a lawyer for the State Employees Association of North Carolina, Tom Harris proposed dropping a public records lawsuit against state Treasurer Richard Moore if Moore would back a bill SEANC supports.

In a hearing on the suit in Wake County Superior Court today, Harris brought an outside attorney and said he would not talk much about his own actions yet.

"If this case should mushroom into a criminal proceeding or a bar hearing, I would like to defend myself in that context," he said.

However, Harris said he had a different take on SEANC's settlement offer.
