FBI Investigates Jim Black

The FBI is continuing to investigate North Carolina House Speaker Jim Black. Why? They're not saying.

Keep in mind, Jim Black is the one who has a chief fundraiser on his staff, one Meredith Norris. Meredith Norris is employed by Scientific Games. Scientific Games WROTE the legislation for the state lottery that passed the legislature. And Scientific Games is the company that "won" the contract to run the North Carolina state lottery.

Oh, and Jim Black suddenly "dismissed" Meredith Norris from her job several weeks ago.

Let's see, primary fundraiser for a politician employed by a company that stands to gain hundreds of millions of dollars from the state. And Mr. Black received over $100,000 in donations from the gambling industry in the last election cycle. Oh, and the FBI recently got convictions of two illegal gaming operators and a former Transportation Secretary.

I hope the FBI can get through the corruption on this one.
