In other, less politically dysfunctional states, politicians go down for taking illegal gifts and trips from lobbyists. Black, a Democrat from Matthews and the speaker of the state house, took that practice to a whole new level. This year, it was revealed that Black had a lobbyist doing everything but washing his underwear — and maybe even that, too. Before the feds caught on, lobbyist Meredith Norris was fundraising for him and running the daily ins and outs of his political career — when she wasn't helping to draft legislation beneficial to her clients in Black’s name. Black is now the subject of numerous criminal and ethical investigations.
