Jim Black is the current besieged Democrat speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives -- therefore it's not really news that he wants more money. He always wants more money -- he's never seen a tax increase that he's opposed. He will do or say anything to get more money for government to spend, even if it's just to pad his personal government-created checking account. But even that's not enough.

Jim Black is under investigation by the FBI, State Bureau of Investigation, a grand jury, the state board of elections, and others. Therefore he needs a team of lawyers -- you see, in his mind, because HE makes the laws, it is quite impossible for him to break these laws. That's his mindset, so he'll never admit to ANY wrongdoing.

Now, because he won't admit he's done anything wrong, he wants the taxpayers to give him $200,000 to pay for those lawyers being used for his defense. Why not? After all, the taxpayers are paying the lawyers investigating, why not pay for his defense, too?

He only has to repay the money if he pleads guilty or is found guilty. I see a plea deal coming, do you?
