Grass is greener for former governor
October 19th, 2009 by Rhiannon Bowman in News
Why weren’t any of former N.C. Gov. Mike Easley’s shenanigans brought to light when he was in office? And, when can we the people throw him in jail?
As a four-year drought parched North Carolina into the middle of 2002, then-Gov. Mike Easley and his administration called it a major disaster. The governor urged people everywhere to save water, and he imposed stiff restrictions.
Except at Easley’s exclusive private golf club in northeastern Chatham County.
New records and interviews show that Old Chatham Golf Club pumped millions of gallons from a creek leading to Jordan Lake, diverting water from one of the region’s major drinking sources to help keep the greens alive.
Remember when Andy Griffith stumped for Easley? “Governor, you’re the man and you’re doing right by North Carolina,” he said.

This was not cool but I do not feel it is very news worthy. I am more concerned about Obama pissing away trillions of tax payer dollars. I guess everyone is too busy protecting their personal god. Maybe these reporters will start doing there job when a republican wins next time.
