It seems like just yesterday that eye doctor from Matthews and that portly fellow from Moore County were roaming the House chamber wreaking havoc, shaking down lobbyists and scaring children.

A Democrat named Arthur Williams represented the Outer Banks-centered Sixth District in the North Carolina House from 2003-2011. During that time, he was a good Democrat — a good soldier for then Senate boss Marc Basnight and then-House speaker Jim Black.

Have we already forgotten the behavior of Jim Black? Do we not remember his secret meetings in IHOP bathrooms? We don’t know that such hijinks are involved in this SB 783 – but such legislation naturally lends itself to corruption.

North Carolina's reputation as a "clean government" state has suffered in recent years, with a host of high-profile arrests of public officials on corruption charges. The latest came March 26, when Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested on charges of taking a bribe from a federal agent...

I first heard about John Rhodes in 2003 while he was serving in the North Carolina House. He was raising questions about the ethics of Democrat House speaker Jim Black and his Republican co-conspirator co-speaker Richard Morgan.

State House Speaker - and US Senate candidate - Thom Tillis has been quite talkative lately via email. He's tackled taxes and immigration, and has now moved on to the topic of Richard Morgan & Jim Black.

Now that their fearless leader has been reduced to political impotence and irrelevance, the group of General Assembly Republicans who sided with Richard Morgan to form an alliance with Jim Black is slowly but surely ditching their digs on Jones Street.
