A group of liberal Democrats is calling for an investigation of former Gov. Mike Easley.
The Progressive Democrats of North Carolina called today for an investigation into Easley's travel in office and involvement in his wife's job at N.C. State.
"We are chagrined by the deafening silence coming from the N.C. Democratic Party and Democratic leaders in the General Assembly concerning these allegations, and feel that it is essential for the party to speak up," president Heide Kober said in a press release.
The group warned that Democrats risk "being further discredited" on corruption issues, allowing Republicans to "feign the moral and ethical high ground."
"Failure to stand resolutely against political corruption and cronyism regardless of party, will, in no uncertain terms, invite defeat," Kober said.
The group was founded in 2004 in Greensboro.





Re: Progressive Dems: Investigate Easley
Dude, you so don't get it. "Progessive Dems" would vote for Bush, McCrory, Burr, Satan if they could, just to prove a point.
