Former NC Senate Leader Basnight dies at 73


RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Marc Basnight, the former longtime leader of the North Carolina State Senate died Monday at 73, his family said.
Basnight, who was ill for years with what was later diagnosed as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, died at his Manteo home with family members present, according to Amy Fulk, Basnight's chief of staff while he held the chamber's top job.
"North Carolina lost a giant today with the passing of my friend, Senator Marc Basnight," Gov. Roy Cooper said. "His positive influence on our public universities, transportation, environment and more will be felt for decades. A man of great power and influence, his humble, common touch made everyone he met feel special, whether pouring them a glass of tea in his restaurant or sharing a pack of nabs at a country store. He believed in North Carolina and its people, and our state is stronger because of him. Our prayers are with Vicki, Caroline and the whole family."
