Hi Gerry,
I just read your post on OP and the happenings near Lot 5. Good stories. They made me wonder if you have any recollection of Coach Fetzer’s house, which sat on Rosemary Street where Breadman’s is today. The story I know is that it was moved in 1976 to make way for the Western Sizzler that was built there, and that it was rented for several years prior. I’ve heard tell of the hippie houses near there and have often wondered if it was one of them. I live in that house now, back behind the BCBS building, and have often wondered about it’s history on Rosemary. We have pictures of it sitting prepped for moving, but no pics of it in its original location. One small irony is that I’ve heard there was a big fuss because a large tree had to be cut down so that it could be moved – when I was a planner in FL before we moved here, one of my jobs was to approve tree removal requests, not sure if I would have approved that one!
Enjoy your posts,
Linda

And now for something completely different…
I’m a law student, and in true law school style, I am a big dork. I really want to draft legislation. I’m working with the Attorney General in another state for the summer (I just finished my 2L year), and I’m with a section where I’ve been able to research and draft proposed legislation. I am finding it quite addictive!
Any chance I can pick your brain?

Where can I find a listing that contains the details of 14 cases of expulsion or censure between 1757 and 1883? Who should I contact and where is the repository located? I read a recent article by Mark Schreiner about this topic and wish to do more research on this subject.
Thanks,

Teresa, I believe the Legislative Library, 5th floor Legislative Office Bldg, Raleigh, 919-733-9390 has a clip file on this issue.

Gerry,
How can we (voters, constituents) see the floor speech history for our elected representatives? Is there an online repository?

Thomas,
House floor speeches and debates are neither recorded nor transcribed.
Senate floor debates are recorded but not transcribed. I am not sure how long
they are kept. The Senate Principal Clerks office 919-733-7761 may be able to
help
