Mid-Day Links
I have run across some fascinating articles today but none that I feel like blogging about on their own, so I have put together links for everyone:
Court room drama over illegal contributions to the NC Republican Governor's Association
BB&T will no longer lend to private firms that obtain land through eminent domain
And apparently the N&O is upset with the blandness of the new skyscrapers in Raleigh.

Good stuff.
Regarding the last story . . .
One of the great ironies of restrictive zoning and arduous review processes (which I applaud on many fronts) is that it squashes creativity. Developers have a hard enough time getting bland, tedious buildings off the ground . . . anything imaginative is simply DOA when it comes to planning boards and design commissions.

PS Couldn't get to the BB&T link . . . though it sounds like a pretty decent policy from the headline.
