Just Another Day in Raleigh
N.C. Cultural Resources Secretary Libba Evans and her husband gained nearly $300,000 in a unique Manteo real-estate transaction, according to a Carolina Journal analysis of public records.
Evans and her husband, James T. Lambie, purchased the property in 2006 after a commission under Evans’ department eliminated stringent tree-cutting regulations on the land where the lot is situated. A CJ story in December 2007 described the sequence of events that led to her potential conflict of interest in that matter. Evans said last year that she was unaware that the Roanoke Island Commission had taken action on property she was negotiating to buy.
The action benefited the developer because it removed restrictions on six single-family home lots. Last year the project manager said he was unaware of the restrictions.
Another day, another scandal. Way to go N.C. government.
