Corrupt Legislator Cries Foul Over Trial Timing

From NC CofCC News

The black caucus had best circle the wagons now as the trial date is set for corrupt legislator Thomas Wright, a black representative from Wilmington.  Wright has been accused of taking money to the tune of six figures from his campaign fund as well as other financial fraud issues.  To this Wright cries political harassment as his trial date is set for March 3, just a few short months ahead of his May 6 primary.  Despite the pleadings of Speaker Joe Hackney (D-Chapel Hill) and other Democrats, Wright has the support of the black caucus in the General Assembly and vows to battle on to reelection.   This all would be irrelevant if the Assembly proceeds to expel Wright for his corruption charge.  How this plays out remains to be seen.  Check back here for more updates as the trial heats up.
