More Republican criminals holding state offices. Also, note that Wesley Merediths ex-wifes middle name is Longbottom. I wonder if their daughters middle name is Longboob? North Carolina GOP Senator/Candidate Accused Of Welfare Fraud by Leslie Salzillo The word fraud is becoming a bitter pill for the North Carolina GOP to swallow this week. After the alleged voting fraud committed by the Koch brothers via AFP/Americans For Prosperity, there is now a welfare fraud allegation against Republican candidate, Senator Wesley Meredith. This from the Conservative party extremists that basically call Americas poor, unemployed, and welfare recipients, lazy, undeserving, benefit-sucking, scum of the earth. North Carolinas ABC11 reports: In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, (Republican) party chair Linda Devore said the Cumberland County GOP looks forward to Senator Meredith refuting the allegations made Tuesday by his opponent, (Democratic) Fayetteville attorney Billy Richardson. On Tuesday, Richardson released a load of Merediths public and private financial and public assistance documents. They indicate Meredith and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Meredith, received welfare in the late 1990s. At the time, the couple earned annual incomes in the six-figure range. The linked article above is the GOP trying to save face. Of course, Meredith called Richardsons document release a below the belt personal attack. That said, Meredith has not denied the allegation. This story follows news of a new Republican Koch Brothers investigation for allegedly sending out false, misleading, and confusing voting information to hundreds of thousands of NC residents. The GOP currently owns the majority in both General Assembly House and Senate Chambers, as well as the NC Supreme Court, and the governors seat. Looks like change is a-comin. Update: Here is the story and quote by Senator Merediths ex-wife, Beth Longbottom Meredith. Fayetteville News reports: I had no outside source of income, Beth Meredith said. My children and I were totally dependent on Wesleys income. He did not keep me informed about the financial decisions he made for our family.
