Five Clayton County residents used a relatively unknown legal mechanism to give Gov. Sonny Perdue the authority to unseat four elected school board members — an unprecedented move in recent state history. Perdue ousted Michelle Strong, Sandra Scott, Lois Baines-Hunter and Yolanda Everett on the day the Clayton school system lost accreditation. "We're hopeful that with these people removed, new people can come in ... and maybe we can regain our accreditation very rapidly," said Jonesboro resident George Brown, 68, who is one of five people who filed complaints with the governor. ...

Last week, gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory was adamant that opponent Beverly Perdue should return campaign money tied to a Board of Transportation member who had steered public money to road improvements adjacent to property he or a son co-owned. McCrory, the Republican mayor of Charlotte, ended the week by attending a fundraiser on Emerald Isle that pulled in more than $100,000 – half of it from a former Transportation Board member from Jacksonville who had done much the same thing 20 years earlier. But McCrory's campaign sees no reason to return the $50,000. “It's a bogus story to compare someone who is – as a volunteer citizen of the state of North Carolina with no power – out raising money, compared to someone who is sitting on the Board of Transportation and is using that position to raise money,” Jack Hawke, McCrory's campaign strategist, said Wednesday. He added, “What happened 25 years ago has nothing to do with what's happening today.” An internal campaign e-mail written by Frank Rouse, a former state Republican Party chairman and a McCrory volunteer, gleefully notes the money that Tommy Pollard raised. Pollard served on the Transportation Board from 1985 to 1990 and was later elected to the state Senate. “Former State Senator Tommy Pollard, a veteran politico with major league fundraising stats kept his ‘I'm gonna raise more money than you can' winning streak alive,'” the e-mail said. It later noted that Pollard “sur ... Source: www.charlotte.com --- 11 days ago
Democrat Bev Perdue came to Republican Pat McCrory's backyard Tuesday and slammed the Charlotte mayor for “whining about crime” while vetoing a move to put more cops on the street. Speaking to a westside group, Perdue also criticized her opponent for opposing children's health insurance and supporting school vouchers, which she said would take $1 billion out of public education. Her appearance came as Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm from Raleigh, released a survey showing her in a tight race with McCrory. It found him winning independents and cutting into Perdue's edge among Democrats. He was also running ahead of Republicans John McCain and Elizabeth Dole in urban areas. McCrory campaign manager Richard Hudson dismissed Perdue's criticism. “She's slipping in the polls,” he said, “and her rhetoric on the stump is getting more desperate and negative.” McCrory has made crime a signature issue, arguing that the state hasn't provided enough prosecutors or courts. But Perdue told the westside group and a Rotary luncheon that McCrory has stood in the way of putting more police on the streets. She alluded to McCrory's 2006 veto – later overridden – of a city budget that included money for 70 new police officers. “The city council said, ‘Yeah, that's what we need,'” she said. “The mayor said no.” But the budget also included a 9 percent property tax increase, the first hike in 10 years and the reason McCrory gave for his ...

Gubernatorial candidate Bev Perdue (Dwane Powell sketch shown here) met with the editorial board today and offered an eight-point plan for "changing the face of North Carolina state government." Four of her points involve beefing up accountability. She also wants to strip state boards, such as the Board of Transportation, of voting power, making them advisory boards only. Here's a snippet of her talking about how high she would set the ethics bar in her own Democratic administration. ...
