Allred resigns
Update: From Saturday's paper:

RALEIGH — Rep. Cary Allred announced his resignation after facing weeks of questions about a speeding ticket and behavior at the legislature that has sparked an inquiry by the Legislative Ethics Commission.
Although Allred still faces a court date for a 102 mph speeding ticket, his decision essentially ends and blocks from the public record any ethics inquiries by the General Assembly.
The Burlington Republican submitted a letter to House Speaker Joe Hackney that he was resigning effective Monday, saying in an interview he “was sick” of the legislature and the legislative process.
“I’m frustrated, and I’m tired of beating my head against the wall,” Allred said Friday when asked why he was resigning.
