Former North Carolina Governor Mike EasleyMike Easley has been fined $100,000 by the NC State Board of Elections. The BOE also found that Wake County prosecutors should investigate these allegations of campaign finance violations. I thnk this has been a total witch hunt against this former Gov. I do not know how one individual can be held accountable and liable for their campaign since there are many individuals involved in running a campaign. It would take too many watchful eyes to ensure no misappropriation occurs.
