They can't get rid of Jefferson, and we can't seem to shake Boss Jim Black.

Quote :

"N.C. House pages stayed with felon Speaker Jim Black let the program's coordinator retire, and he later hired her as House historian Lassiter says letting pages stay with her son was wrong. Former state House Page Coordinator Ann Lassiter admits she made a serious mistake when she arranged for teenage pages to stay with her son, a felon with a history of drug and alcohol problems. But after her mistake became known to House Speaker Jim Black, he allowed her to retire from the position in April 2005 and then hired her back a month later as House historian, a position he created. Lassiter now makes $50,627 a year, but has no office, is rarely seen at the legislature and says she is unlikely to produce her major project -- a report on the history of the House -- before her temporary position runs out at the end of the year. Black said he approved the historian position because he was "amazed" the legislature did not have a "detailed history of our chamber." The Senate has no such position. Because Lassiter is a temporary employee as House historian, the only person who had to approve her hiring was Black, said Wesley Taylor, the legislature's financial services manager. "
