RALEIGH, (AP) — A man whose political donations are part of a complaint filed with the North Carolina Board of Elections says he gave his check to another sweepstakes cafe operator who may have passed them on to a lobbyist.
William George of Rock Hill, S.C., told the Associated Press he handed donations for Gov. Pat McCrory's 2011 campaign to David Hagie, a Mocksville man with a long criminal record of gambling offenses. George said he saw his donation added to a stack of checks from other sweepstakes operators that Hagie was to pass on to a lobbyist.
It is illegal for lobbyists to bundle contributions. An elections complaint filed last week by Democracy North Carolina questions 10 checks received by the McCrory campaign on March 3, 2012.

DALLAS (AP) — Former President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush watched fireworks burst above his newly dedicated presidential library during the lighting of Freedom Hall, a 67-foot-high "lantern" made of limestone that serves as a focal point of the building.
In the short ceremony Thursday night that featured several songs by the U.S. Army Chorus, Bush noted that it had been a "joyous" day.
The George W. Bush Presidential Center was dedicated Thursday morning. It includes his presidential library, a museum and a policy institute on the campus of Southern Methodist University.
The dedication ceremony featured comments from Bush and President Barack Obama, along with former Presidents Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Bush's father, George H.W. Bush.
The center opens to the public May 1.

DALLAS (AP) — Laura Bush wanted to make sure her husband's presidential center reflected their Texas roots. And it does — right down to the building's limestone base from the Midland area, where they both grew up and lived after they were married.
The former first lady led the design committee for the 226,000-square-foot George W. Bush Presidential Center.
It houses the 43rd president's library, museum and policy institute. The center is being dedicated Thursday at Laura Bush's alma mater of Southern Methodist University, not far from the couple's Dallas home.
She tells The Associated Press she wanted the center to have a Texas feel. She also wanted it to be modern since her husband's presidency was the first to begin in the 21st century.

RALEIGH, (AP) — Two North Carolina Democratic political strategists who have worked for high-profile candidates were seriously wounded after being stabbed in their Raleigh home, and a suspect has been charged.
Raleigh police said Tuesday that 31-year-old Jonathon Wayne Broyhill is charged with attempted murder and with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflecting serious injury. Broyhill was also wounded and taken to WakeMed.
Broyhill is accused of stabbing 27-year-old Nation Richard Hahn and his wife, 29-year-old Jameson Kirk Hahn, at their home Monday evening. A wedding announcement in a South Carolina newspaper listed Broyhill as the best man at the couple's wedding in April 2009.
A spokeswoman at WakeMed said Jameson Kirk was listed in critical condition, while Broyhill is in good condition.
Nation Hahn was treated and released.
