The editorial board of the Rocky Mount Telegram has called for Rep. Thomas Wright to resign.
In an unsigned editorial Tuesday, the board wrote the legislature "suffered enough" under the prolonged investigation of disgraced former House Speaker Jim Black.
It said he should step down or be removed from office until the investigation is complete.
Allowing Wright to stay in office mocks not only the legislature, but the people of Wright's district and of North Carolina.
There's no room in government for serving people while under indictment. The sooner North Carolina lawmakers accept that, the better for all of us.
