Wilson resigns from DOT Board
Lanny Wilson, a very influential fundraiser for Easley and Perdue has resigned from his Department of Transportation position as reported in the News and Observer today.
He testified to the State Board of Elections that he gave large amounts of money to the Democratic Party with the intention of it being given to the campaigns of Easley andPerdue. This is a felony according to state and federal law. One has to wonder why our Democratic State Attorney General has not pursued this? No we don’t.
Such funneling would violate limits on donations to individual candidates. Wilson was the main financial backer of several coastal developments, including the Cannonsgate development where Easley bought a lot at a six-figure discount.
Perdue had him on her short list for her cabinet and Senator Basnight has just emotion filled words of support for Lanny Wilson.
“Lanny has so much to give this state. He’s smart and he understands the department very well. I believe he could reorganize the department in a fashion that we would get much more out for our money,” Basnight said.
I hope people now see why North Carolina is considered to have one of the most corrupt state governments in our union.

So, Our Little Dumplin’ of Blount Streets’ money roll has resigned from all state appointments. He has opened his eyes to the fact that his future really is in a prison laundry.
But not to worry, Our Bev promoted Tony Rand, the Majority Speaker of the Legislature to head the Parole Board this past November. Perhaps she has even opened HER eyes to her future in a prison laundry. It’s always good to have friends in high places, but we’re already well aware of that fact, aren’t we?
