    William Woods Holden [PARDONED]

    Today the North Carolina General Assembly is taking a moment away from the hard work of governing to explore a little history and potentially pardon former Governor William Woods Holden. No – he isn’t in jail. He’s been dead since 1892.

    I can’t say if the former Governor deserves the attention after 140 years but I can say that perhaps the General Assembly has some bigger issues they may want to look at before they tackle this one.

    I’ve read the arguments on both sides of the impeachment and removal being justified and racially/politically motivated. Right now I don’t think the argument is worth the time they’ve elected to spend on it. Maybe I am just waiting on the HBO movie to get motivated enough to care.

    For more information you can read the Senate Bill and House Bill and you can watch it happen live on WRAL. (At least that is the rumor. Didn’t see a link for it.)  Personally – I’ve done enough. If I want to watch someone waste government money I’ll chase down the NC DOT.
