LICENSE – Jim Black’s license to practice optometry has been restored, according to The Associated Press.

The former state representative from Charlotte was released last month from a federal prison in Georgia, where he served a sentence for corruption. Black served as speaker of the state House for eight years, including one term in which the speakership was shared with then-Rep. Richard Morgan, a prominent Moore County Republican.

Black went down in infamy after his ­relationship with former Rep. Michael Decker became known. Black, a Democrat, reportedly bribed Decker, a Republican, to change his registration to Democrat.

The switch left the state House split down the ­middle between the two parties and opened the way for the co-speakership served by Black and Morgan. Black was later convicted of illegally handling contributions.
