RALEIGH — On Tuesday, the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party called on Gov. Beverly Perdue to clean house at the state Board of Elections. Tom Fetzer reacted to news of the firing of a friend of the board’s executive director. The personnel issue brought the spotlight back to a campaign finance complaint the GOP brought against Perdue. The party questioned some flights during Perdue’s campaign.
RALEIGH — Retired lawyer Bernard Harrell has more questions about compensation for legal services provided to Roy Cooper’s campaign, even after a lawyer for the attorney general’s re-election committee seemingly explained how they were paid for. “The legal costs in this case are being paid by private insurance,” Wallace said in a statement. “The premise of [Harrell’s] letter to the Board — that lawyers are contributing services — is wrong.” However, Wallace’s explanation only spurred more questions from Harrell about whether the campaign committee or candidate was the insured party and who paid the premiums.
