No Laws Broken, says NC AG

According to the North Carolina Attorney General, legislators did not break the law or violate the Constitution when they unconstitutionally spent money on their pals and on personal accounts and to curry personal favor.

In this case, Democrats who were "leaders" in the General Assembly gave themselves over $14 million (in the budget that was "cut to the bone") so that they could spent it however they wanted. They gave the money to favorite state agencies, friends, cash for political allies -- whatever they personally wanted. No one was consulting on the expenditures, they just wrote checks on the spot, spending wherever and whenever they wanted.

From the North Carolina Constitution (an old, living, breathing document that was written by slave-owning white men):

No money shall be drawn from the State treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law

There is no law written that says, "Some special people in the Senate and House have permission to write checks to whatever causes they want, whenever they want." I'm not sure how the attorney general can make the claim no laws were broken -- in fact, the North Carolina auditor even audited the General Assembly and pointed out to the AG where the money went and how it was illegal.

Oh wait.

It makes perfect sense if you understand the mentality of Democrats in Raleigh. Do you know who the Attorney General is? Do you know who the state Auditor is? The state auditor is Les Meritt -- Republican. The AG? Roy Cooper.

Democrat gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper.

And you thought Louisiana and Chicago politics were dirty.
