Indicted state senator Fletcher Hartsell is still on the job
 
The Raleigh News and Observer reports that Hartsell, who has been indicted on federal and state campaign finance law violations, 
 remains a chairman or vice chairman of seven legislative committees.
 
The federal charges allege Hartsell engaged in a scheme to solicit and obtain campaign money from 2007 through 2015 that he spent on personal items and services, and concealed it by filing false campaign finance reports. He allegedly spent campaign money on a trip to Charleston, haircuts, tickets to a musical, car repairs, lawn care an club memberships. A Wake County grand jury indicted Hartsell on similar charges. 
 
Hartsell is not running for re-election.
