Former N.C. Agriculture Commissioner and heir to the Scott family political dynasty, Meg Scott Phipps, was sentenced to four years of jail time yesterday by a Greenville judge, "for heading a campaign fund-raising conspiracy that became North Carolina's biggest public corruption scandal in modern history." (Raleigh N & O article here)
Phipps, mother of two adolescents, has also lost her license to practice law. Rather than allow her to return home and await assignment to a prison for several weeks, the judge sent Phipps to the Pitt County jail immediately to await her prison assignment.
