It certainly isn't a surprise. N&O: Easley's golf club received water during drought http://www.wral.com/news/local/politics/story/6235340/ Remember when gas was going up, and he encouraged North Carolinians to do staycations, instead of vacations for Memorial Day - and then promptly hopped into a helicoptor bound for his Southport home? What I don't get, is why is all of this being uncovered now - I mean we all heard the jokes and nicknames for the guy while he was in office - but how come we never had proof like what is being discovered now? It's everywhere you turn, he *and* his wife were a couple of thieves.
