RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - New ethics rules are ahead for members of North Carolina's state boards and commissions.
Gov. Beverly Perdue prepared to sign Wednesday executive orders her office says will strengthen ethics requirements for the panels.
Executive orders usually apply to employees whose offices are under control of or people appointed directly by the governor.
A Democratic consultant and critic of former Gov. Mike Easley called on Perdue to remove former Easley aide Ruffin Poole from the Golden LEAF Foundation board. Poole attempted to block a subpoena from the State Board of Elections to testify at a hearing on Easley's campaign finances.
Poole resigned Tuesday just ahead of Perdue's action, saying he had become a distraction to the foundation.
