For a fine, upstanding public servant, Mr. Rand sure spends a lot of time doing business with crooks. If your stomach can stand it, WRAL has the story. Here's the letter accusing Rand of insider trading.
In case it's not already clear, the NC Democratic Party leadership has a mountain of a mess on its hands, especially in the Senate, where Rand's particular brand of arrogance appears to be business as usual.
I wonder if Mike Easley will be looking for a new bunk mate.

More insider training?
I wonder how much Rand got compensated as a board member at LEA?
Something fishy is going on with their stock.

Thanks
A pittance. Guess the real money got made scamming other shareholders.
An open offer to LEA...
I'll sit on your board for $3000/year plus reasonable expenses to attend meetings.

Methinks you're too honest
If you read the letter in my post, it looks like they want board members who will go along with whatever. No mention of this little dust up in their most recent quarterly report other than to whine about sales sucking because:
Pay our Legislators real salaries
Not only should it reduce financial strain, thus temptation, it will allow "regular people" to run for office. I am so sick of all these crooks and sell-outs!
Hear, hear!
Well said. I firmly believe that, much like business staffing decisions, when it comes to who fills the elected position, you fundamentally get what you pay for.
