North Carolina’s Own “White Water”
May 18, 2009
As the heat gets turned up on the former Governor Mike Easley a North Carolina land deal sounds more and more like another politicians “White Water”. There is no secret that the FBI and Federal Prosecutors are looking into a number of irregularities from the former administration. As I reported earlier some questions about the appointment of Randy Allen to be a North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commissioner by then Governor Easley while he (Easley) was in the process of making a sweetheart real estate deal with a company owned by Mr. Allen.
That company owned by Mr. Allen is RA North is part of multiple lawsuits involving mortgage fraud.
Lawyers say a group of companies led by a Virginia investment company and including a Charlotte area developer, its marketing wing and several banks hoodwinked defendants into paying prices that had been artificially swollen by fraudulent appraisals. Some of the inflated appraisals, they claim, were built upon multiple fake sales of the same lot.
“It was kind of a real estate version of the Madoff scandal,” said lawyer Jill Pisner of McLean, Va.
The subdivisions were developed by R.A. North Development of Matthews and include Cannonsgate in Carteret County, where former Gov. Mike Easley got a controversial deal on a waterfront lot.
While the former governor is not named in any of these lawsuits nor does it appear he had any involvement it does show us the type of people he was in bed with. With all the controversy around Mr. Allen’s appointment as well the multiple lawsuits against his companies it seems like a good time for him to step down from the board and allow Governor Purdue to appoint a new commissioner. I would hope that a new era of appointments could be established so we see less political favors and appointments of wildlife commissioners who care about the state’s natural resources.
