The guilty plea to federal corruption charges entered by former House Speaker Jim Black Thursday was startling because in it Black admitted that he used his position as Speaker for personal gain, apparently pocketing $25,000 in cash from a handful of chiropractors who had an intense interest in legislation pending in the General Assembly.
Considering the millions of dollars in campaign funds that Black raised and directed in the last several years, $25,000 is not a massive sum of money, but for many people in the state, it’s close to a year’s salary.
Pundits are blasting Black’s supporters in the General Assembly for saying Wednesday that Black should not serve jail time or that he should also be remembered for what he accomplished in his eight years as Speaker.
