Board seeks criminal investigation of Easley - Local/State - News & Observer.
Members of the State Board of Elections spoke in a unanimous voice Friday: Mike Easley should be investigated on suspicion of committing crimes while he was governor of North Carolina.
They imposed a $100,000 penalty against his campaign organization, saying the Mike Easley Committee broke laws when Easley took free flights and failed to disclose them.
They also said Easley's campaign illegally solicited $9,000 in donations for the state Democratic Party, while promising that the money would be funneled back to Easley's committee. The party is forfeiting that money.
