Mold is driving Gov. Mike Easley and company from the governor's mansion for the second time since he was elected.
Easley's security staff is sounding out a place for the governor and his wife, Mary, to stay while mold is removed from the 50-room home on Blount Street in downtown Raleigh.
"They didn't say I had to move. They just said they were moving out all the furniture, cutting off the water and the electricity and bringing in the jackhammers," Easley told the Winston-Salem Journal this week.
State Rep. Grier Martin said he got "a little sniff" of mold during a meeting at the mansion in July. The Raleigh Democrat joined other Wake legislators in a plea for raising state employees' salaries.
Easley pointed out the mold problem by way of apology for the lingering odor.
"There was a little bit of a not-so-fresh feeling, and it wasn't just from the governor's unwillingness to help out with pay raises," Martin said.
