North Carolina agribusiness hearing tests influence claims
RALEIGH AP A three day state Elections Board hearing opened amid subpoenas and arrests. Poultry executives Marvin Johnson and Doug Boykin initially refused to testify, then agreed to appear after authorities ordered their arrest. Nick Weaver linked Johnson to House Speaker Harold Brubaker through industry ties, while legislators Nichols and Grady defended Brubaker’s remarks about pork producers. The case follows a 1996 moratorium on factory style operations tied to party fundraising.
