    It’s never too early to start campaigning, according to North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby, who showed up in Beaufort County last Thursday to elicit support from politicians, activists and Rotarians for his 2012 re-election bid for his second, eight-year term on the highest court in the state.

    En route to the Washington Rotary, where he was scheduled speak about the state’s operation to obtain North Carolina’s original copy of the Bill of Rights, Newby stopped at the Beaufort County Manager’s Office for a meeting with Republican county commissioners Stan Deatherage and Hood Richardson, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer Jim Chrisman and victims’ rights advocate Dick Adams.

    For two hours, Newby, Deatherage, Richardson and Adams conversed, off the record, about several issues: the legal battle between Beaufort County and the Beaufort County Board of Education, potential effects of the N.C. Racial Justice Act, corruption within the state government, and the legality of forcing Attorney General Roy Cooper to join several other state attorney generals in trying to repeal the new, federally imposed health-care measures.
