RALEIGH -- Police are investigating an assault on a longtime North Carolina Education Board member.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said in a news release Sunday that Kathy A. Taft was hospitalized Saturday with serious injuries.
After an initial investigation, police said they were treating the case as an assault.
Taft lives in Greenville but was at a Raleigh home when emergency medical workers picked her up.
Taft was appointed to the state board by former Gov. Jim Hunt in 1995. She was reappointed to serve a second term in 2003. Her term expires March 31, 2011.
Taft ran unsuccessfully for a state Senate seat in 2008. Her ex-husband, Tom Taft, is a former state senator from Greenville.
