Taxpayers To Help Pay Black's Lawyers

I recieved this is my inbox from the Carolina Journal: House Speaker Jim Black has asked for up to $200,000 in taxpayer money to pay legal bills from complying with a federal grand jury's subpoenas to his office. In a separate request, the governor's office has approved up to $20,000 to pay for two lawyers to represent 33 current and former members of Black's staff plus career legislative staffers. The lawyers will help respond to the subpoenas or to the ongoing federal and state investigations tied to Black's office. Why would I want my money to go to defend this man and his staff when I want him out of office. This is a load of steaming crap.
