Slush Funds in N.C.

The boys at the John Locke Foundation are all over the slush fund story in N.C. I saw no follow-up on this story in the N&O, which means that they are either willing to cover it up to protect the Dem. state legislative leaders, or they are so used to the corruption in N.C. state govt. that they don't consider this story out of the ordinary.
