Governor's Party for Employees Includes 3 Piedmont Felons

RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) - A party at the governor's mansion for people who work there included 16 convicted felons, 3 of which were convicted in the Piedmont according to WTVD in Raleigh.

The governor's office says the party for employees is a tradition that goes back to 1983, but 16 of those in attendance were convicted felons.

A viewer who wishes to remain anonymous tipped FOX8 WGHP about the party, and we gave the tip to our news partners at WTVD in Raleigh.
