Easley Land Deal Gaining Interest

Media and feds also interested in Easley automobiles

RALEIGH (By Don Carrington, Carolina Journal Online) - Federal authorities and state media have turned their attention to a Carteret County real estate development in which former Gov. Mike Easley bought a lot in 2005.

Carolina Journal first reported in 2006 on Easley’s purchase of a lot in the Cannonsgate development. An analysis of other transactions showed Easley got what The Charlotte Observer called a “sweetheart deal.”

The federal interest in the Cannonsgate development came after The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that investigators are looking into the free cars that auto dealers have provided to Easley’s family.
