In news about an NC lawmaker that doesn't involve prison terms or alleged wiener-wagging, the National Conference of State Legislatures says, "As the new speaker of the North Carolina House, Joe Hackney is credited with restoring integrity in a chamber tarnished by the actions of its previous leader. Now he will receive the nation's top state legislative honor—the 2007 Excellence in State Legislative Leadership Award."
