North Carolina's campaign finance laws allow a political candidate to tonvert any campaign funds to personal use. So State Rep. Joni Bowie (Republican of Guilford) took the $25,000 she had left in her campaign account after her defeat for reelection last year and bought herself a new Acura sports car, a new Dell computer, and then invested the remaining $6,700 for her retirement.
That's a Republican example. The Democrat examples are maybe even more egregious (and you can see all the ones documented by the N&O here).
Suffice it to say that the stuff that continues to come out about Democrat Speaker of the House Jim Black does NOT swell our partisan hearts with pride.
