Under the Dome Quotes
If there are politicians out there cutting corners, they're probably throwing cocktail parties to celebrate his retirement.
— First Amendment lawyer Hugh Stevens on the impending
retirement of Pulitzer Prize-winning News & Observer reporter Pat Stith, known for his investigations into government corruption,
quoted on Sept. 19, 2008.
Road work enhanced DOT official's & Perdue's property?
It sounds as if we need Pat Stith now more than ever to investigate corruption by DOT board members that were appointed by Easley and that conveniently own property next to improvements (see article in todays N&O). There is some speculation that Perdue and her two boys did the same thing. While this may have been looked into prior to the primary, the citizens of NC deserve to get the updated story about the democratically controlled DOT and Perdue's questionable dealings prior to the November election.
