Perdue Attorney Knew About Unreported Campaign Flights

Board of Elections may take action at Tuesday Asheville meeting

RALEIGH (By Don Carrington, Carolina Journal Online) — Gov. Bev Perdue’s campaign attorney knew prior to the November 2008 election that her campaign had received more than $28,000 in unreported free air travel over a 20-month period from her friend New Bern attorney Trawick “Buzzy” Stubbs,” according to a report prepared in June by State Board of Elections investigator Kim Westbrook Strach.

The Board of Elections is scheduled to discuss “possible action on air travel of 2004 and 2008 gubernatorial campaigns” at a meeting Tuesday in Asheville.
