Right Angles: "Right Angles JLF Triangle Blog My new congressman gets Washington Post attention"

Februay 7, 2012, by Jon Ham

G.K. Butterfield, who will be my new congressman if the redistricting maps of the GOP legislature pass legal muster, got some attention this morning from The Washington Post:

Butterfield has helped obtain $817,500 over the past few years toward revitalizing buildings in Wilson, N.C. The lawmaker owns 19 properties within three-quarters of a mile of the project. The congressman’s spokeswoman said his properties are outside of the revitalization area. “The location of the Downtown Wilson buildings in no way influenced his decision to support the projects,” she said. “The City of Wilson developed these projects without his consultation or input, and there is no potential for Butterfield to personally benefit.”

YEAH, Right!
