NC Rep. LaRoque acting like a child at his own Press Conference..

#ncga Rep. LaRoque's name calling bit.ly/qirHJw doesn't address the facts is.gd/szzbWH unearthed by NC Policy Watch.

Well I guess if you can’t change the facts, then starting calling your accuser names, which never really works, but LaRoque is going through his second childhood while in the NCGA. Where daddies Tillis and Berger had help to protect him.. (more like the ncga crook-gang)

We all know if a NC NCGA Democrat, did ever thing that was reported that LaRoque did, the Republican NCGA members would be calling for their resignation ASAP.. So, Why aren’t the NCGA Dem’s calling for his?

the info deal here,

LaRoque, a conservative Republican from Kinston, maintained at his hour-long press conference that he had done nothing wrong in the management of his two economic development non-profits, which have been funded with $8 million in federal dollars since 1997. The recent articles by NC Policy Watch were “political hit pieces” by a “liberal propaganda tabloid,” LaRoque said.

(The NC Policy Watch investigation, which can be read here, found that LaRoque received up to $195,000 a year, much more than what his counterparts received; allowed immediate family members on the board of directors that’s supposed to independently determine his pay; and loaned out federally-funded loans to personal and political associates, including two fellow GOP legislators.)

He stated that out of his $100,000 to $195,000, he had to pay his staff as well.

He declined to say how much he paid those employees, and how much he personally received out of the $100,000 to $195,000 in annual compensation he reported receiving each year to the IRS.

“It’s none of your business,” LaRoque said.

If this is public money then is our business you douche bag..

I would have to wonder why he would place his family on these boards if not to help him to get his way on money issues.

Finally, LaRoque also said he plans on keeping his wife and brother on the board of directors for his non-profits, unless they choose to step down. He says the two abstained from a recent vote to extend his contract with the non-profit, though did say after questioning that his family members hadn’t abstained from previous votes on LaRoque’s contract over the years.
