WRIG REP. THOMAS WRIGHT by CASH MICHAELS The Wilmington Journal Originally posted 12/18/2007 Now that a Wake County . grand jury has indicted state Rep. Thomas Wright on five felony counts of fraud and one felony count of obstruction of justice, will the eight-term Democrat step down for the good of his district? Or will Gov. Mike Easley be forced to call.a special session of the Legislature to formally expel the eight-term New Hanover — Pender Democrat? And if that happens, how will a majority of the NC Legislative Black Caucus vote? Many members stood firmly with former House Speaker Jim Black even after he was. indicted for corruption last year. Will they stand by a fellow African-American lawmaker in his time of need, maintaining that he is innocent until proven guilty by law, or will the caucus vote to remove what many have said is a corrupt embarrassment to the Legislature, and the people of North Carolina? Last spring, the State Board of Elections found evidence of fraud against Wright, turning _ their findings over to Wake County District Attorney C. Colin Willoughby for criminal prosecution. me AS ot ns i +: This week, a ake Wright grand jury indicted Wright for ~ failing to report over $200,000 in campaign contributions as required by law, and using some of that money for his ersonal use. He was also indicted for falsely obtaining a $150,000 bank loan that was never paid back.. If convicted, Wright could spend up to eleven years in prison. | House Speaker Joe Hackney announced this week that the joint legislative ethics committee is formally investigating the allegations. The panel has all of its evidence, and plans hold a public hearing in early February. Another special committee will probe allegations of fiscal misappropriation that speak to » conduct, but not Wright's role as a lawmaker. After the hearings, a recommendation as to Rep. Wright’s possible ouster is expected. If it is made, the governor will then be asked to call a special one-day legislative session to make it official. That would be historic. No member has been expelled in over a hundred-and-twenty years. Unless Wright throws in the towel, there is no shortage of leaders anxious to show im the door, if for no other reason than to get him off the litical radar screen for the 8 elections. “*..»[ T]he leadership of the local party concluded that present circumstances require that the Democratic Party should begin the process of looking for another Demoe: candidate to run for the Hous 18 seat in 2008,” wrote Jim Morgan, chairman of the New . Hanover County Democratic Party, in statement this week, “Furthermore, we have toe as Roa Be %, 3 communicated to Rep. Wright our own View that it would be. in the best interests of Rep. Wright’s constituents and the best interests of Rep. Wright himself that he now focus all of his attentions on his legal affairs while the party focuses its energies on finding a replacement to represent the people of his district.” Morgan continued, “In past ears, Rep. Wright has served is district well. In the énd, if Rep. Wright is acquitted, he will have every right to. criticize his accusers. That being said, we believe that if Wright is to have any liope of salvaging his political career, he needs to step down now to concentrate on his legal © defense. Meanwhile, the people of the 18th House need representation from someone who can pour their full energies into the job of governing.” eee At press time Wednesday, Wright still wasn’t saying a _ word, earlier maintaining that | only the voters in his New. Hanover/Pender counties - district should remove him from office. a The growing chorus against him does not agree. ! “I don’t think the indictment comes as Surprise to anyone,” State Senator Julia Boseman, a Democrat, told WECT-TV. _ “Tt’s unfortunate that he did not step down when asked so this cloud could be lifted off of the legislature and Wilmington. — The people he is suppose to represent have had no representation in the house this session.” . Boseman, in fact, made it her business to be all over the media this week to rachet up the pressure on Wright to step down now. “We've had to pick up the... slack in the Senate and the _ other members of the local delegation, which we’re happy to do but those folks deserve someone up there fighting for ' them, someone who is going to represent them, and not - metaecives, she told WWAY- TV3. North Carolina Republicans also smelled blood. “Although I am relieved to see that we are a step closer to Justice in this case, it is also a reminder that a culture of corruption has been allowed to reign for too long in Raleigh,” NC Republican Party Chair Linda Daves said in a statement. “The Democrat leadership in North Carolina has seen disgrace befall many of its most powerful members. Thomas Wright is another in a long line to see their misdeeds finally brought out into the light.” Senate Republican Leader Phil Berger echoed that cry. “T call on every member of the General Assembly to demand that Representative Wright resign immediately,” the Rockingham Republican said in a statement. “If you really care about your district, it’s time to step aside,” Gov. Mike Easley told WRAL- TV. But members of the NC Legislative Black Caucus may not go along for the ride. It was several months after the State Board of Elections found ~ evidence that Wright.had violated campaign contribution laws that caucus members cried foul, saying that former House Speaker Jim Black was allowed to say in his House seat even after he was indicted. Black left the Legislature on his own accord and took apie deal for corruption before he was sent to five years in federal prison, Black caucus members wondered why Wright wasn't 1 * WILL HE STEP-DOWN? afforded the same courtesy. Both Speaker Hackney and Gov. Easley publicly _ demanded that Wright ste down, something they didn’t — do with Black. | “The North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus urges the House Leadership and our other colleagues to allow the appropriate processes to run . their course, rather than rushing to im any said Caucus Chair Rep. Alma Adams [D-Guilford] in a statement issued last May. “Failing to do so does not | afford Representative Wright . due process, and the same rights afforded others under the basic tenets of our constitution,” Adams continued. “Representative Wright deserves no less fairness and due process than others have been entitled to cand received.” 's Kitchen q uF eck reat. 4 Greenville, N (252) 756-9558 Wed. and Thras 11:20 am - 10:00 pm Now Serving Laneh and Dinner dust To Name A Few Of Our Delicious Menu Items (Our Delicacy) Oe, . : 4 so Chitterlings : : ge Senior Citizen Fish Dirmer (65 and Over) “ty, , Mag - aot ct * i Mg, oa ove hf, dar, pup ae : Homemade Desserts 1 and honeybun cake Phyil's Gourmet Bread Puddin - Callin for mem of the Day and Prices : "Oh Taste and Seee’ ns for Adult Learners More than ‘Through East Carolina University.
