Report: Pay-to-play, the Jason Saine way.
A non-profit watchdog that has bedeviled Speaker Timmy in recent months and years has now set its sights on a certain tubby little parasite from Lincoln County. The Campaign for Accountability (CfA) has issued a report detailing the rather interesting timing between campaign contributions…
#ncga: And then there were TWO! (Perhaps a THIRD?)
We already told you about John Blust getting a visit from the FeeBs. Now it appears another Republican legislator also had an unexpected encounter: FBI agents reached out to at least two members of the N.C. House of Representatives in recent months, asking questions about…
#ncga: Campaign funds to pay “COLLEGE HUNKS” ?????
No, we’re not talking about a sex scandal here. (At least, I DON’T THINK SO.) Jason Saine is still living the good life with his campaign treasury. Apparently, his folks back home don’t care. They keep sending him back to Raleigh. Apparently, the state board…
#ncga: Viva Las Vegas! (Hey, let’s eat.)

#ncga: Auditing Mr. Saine
He’s vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee and Senior Chairman of the Finance Committee. He has a lot of say on issues relating to the state’s finances and the your bank account. But it appears the gentleman from Lincoln County is having quite the challenge…
#ncga: Dollar, Saine scoring political points at county govt expense
