While Rome Burns

Over at the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh a Grand Jury’s investigating former Governor Easley for corruption.
 
The newspaper reports just before he left office former State Treasurer Richard Moore handed a San Diego hedge fund $500 million in state pension money to invest – then a few weeks after he left office took a job with the fund.
 
The former Agriculture Secretary, a former Congressman, a State former Representative and a former Speaker of the House have all served time in prison for corruption.
 
Over at the Department of Motor Vehicles there’s an investigation underway into a no-bid contract the Department gave Verizon.
 
And over at the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler’s passing out no-bid contracts to his former clients and his wife’s lobbying firm’s clients left and right and WRAL-TV reports – at the same time – Cansler’s department tried to cut twenty month old Chloe Garris
 
 
 
(who was born with a genetic defect and can’t breathe without a tracheotomy or eat without a feeding tube) home care nurses in order to save money.
 
And what’s Governor Perdue doing about all this?
 
Watch: 

While Rome burns the Governor’s running TV ads telling on UNC basketball games – at taxpayers’ expense – to tell people they ought to wash their hands to stop the spread of germs.
