(AP) Rep. Jim Black, the former House speaker who nearly lost his Mecklenburg County seat in November, says he won't run for re-election in 2008.
Black has been dogged by legal and ethical questions over the past year that prompted him not to run for a record fifth term as speaker.
He said Wednesday that he won't return to the General Assembly after next year regardless of the outcome of federal and state investigations into his campaign finances.
