#ncga: Moore about the speaker’s “side” job …
There was quite the hubbub around House Speaker Tim Moore’s hiring as the Cleveland County attorney. Moore assured us there was no cronyism or monkey business. He asserted that he could balance the pressure and time constraints of (1) running a law firm, (2) being…
