NC House Expels Representative Wright

NC CofCC News Team

The North Carolina House overwhelmingly voted to expel corrupt Black Caucus member Thomas Wright from office today by a vote of 109-5.  Wright has been accused of laundering $340,000 from his campaign, loans, and charitable contributions.  He will now be faced with criminal prosecution in Wake County and his seat will now be vacant until the upcoming primary on May 6.  This is the first time a legislator has been expelled in 128 years and only goes to show the stubbornness of  Wright in believing himself untouchable.  He is definitly not the first or last politician in Raleigh to be guilty of corruption in the highest order.
