SMALL FAVORS: Decker case not as scandalous as it could be
By Scott Sexton
Winston-Salem Journal
Maybe it's too soon to try to place the Mike Decker affair among the all-time greatest North Carolina scandals.
His guilty plea to federal conspiracy charges certainly makes him a first-ballot member of the scoundrel Hall of Fame.
We can now add Decker to an illustrious list that includes the likes of Meg Scott Phipps (the bribe-taking former agriculture commissioner), Jimmy Green (a former lieutenant governor unlucky with fire) and Frank Ballance (a former state legislator and congressman who dipped into money intended for his nonprofit organization).
As far as ranking l'affaire Decker, that will take some time.
