In case you're a new reader here, I'd like to point out one of the features of this blog. Each weekday the first post of the day is a post about the goings-on of the North Carolina government. Usually it's state-level, but sometimes a big-city issue gets covered. If you want to see a large amount of information about what really happens in state government, click the "North Carolina Government" category below.

To continue the ongoing theme of "dirty politics," take note of the employees of groups that are "bidding" on running the newly illegally passed North Carolina lottery -- a top aide to Jim Black (iron fisted leader of the NC House) just "happens" to be employed by a group that wants to run the lottery.

Scientific Games is a company that wants to bid to run the North Carolina lottery. It employs Meredith Norris who works for Jim Black. Does anyone on the entire planet think that there's any chance that any firm BUT Scientific Games will get to run the lottery, no matter their or anyone elses' bids?

And you thought the "good old boys" network was only evil Republican males. Sorry, in North Carolina, the good old boys network of corruption is ONLY Democrats, but hey, they include women, too.
