Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they and their cronies either die in or retire from public office.

Option one....you win
Option two....you lose

Investigate Perdue?

MMMMMMMMM...could happen!

Perdue - never answers the question, never any follow up

Media: Do support healthcare reform? Perdue: I'm in New York

Media: Does this budget suit you? Perdue: Yes but I'll veto it anyway

Media: Will you release the Highway Patrol report on the Easley records? Perdue: Have you seen the organic garden first man Eaves has been busy growing?

Media: Do you believe Wilson should step aside? Perdue: Wow, did you know the sky is blue

Media: Is your hair blond? Perdue: Yes and no

How about actually talking to the woman and pinning her down, or is David Crabtree the only guy she'll talk to?

Sleazely is not the only NC democrackkk being examined by the Feds! So much is being looked at right now...but can we now trust the Feds under the current adm, knowing how things are being manipulated?

No wonder she's gone to hide in China while the SBOE investigates her fellow Democrat and predecessor Governor Easley.

Do you think you'd have a job tomorrow if the President/Owner of your company issued you a direct order following complaints from co-workers about you, and you chose not to follow the order???

Here's a little Legal World 101- just bc someone files a lawsuit doesn't mean their a victim or have been wronged. You wouldn't file & then agree to $55,000 settlement & nothing else if a Whistle had really been blown, especially if you were making over $100,000 a year. We aren't just talking about compensation for earnings lost & attorney fees...

Dan Kane is a smart man, he knows what people want to read and how to keep them reading the N&O. Sharing all the facts or the WHOLE truth won't keep the interest of loyal N&O readers. SADLY ITS NOT WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO READ!!

Lastly before assuming or evening believing that state lawyers & employees are sitting around waiting for work, you need to make friends with a State employee & ask them just how much free time they have with the current budget deficit.

I definately do not think there needs to be anymore unions, just laws to protect the people who whistle blow and enforcement of the laws, there has to be a better way than getting a union involved into it, those just lead to a whole new set of abuses and we the taxpayers end up paying the price of it in increased taxes.

That I completely agree with, should he get a big judgement it will be us the taxpayer who have to pay the award he gets not those who actually did the deed. This is the problem with it all, yes he was wrongly fired and yes he deserves compensation but why should we the taxpayer get stuck with the bill, that should come out of those who did the wrong doing and it definately was not the taxpayers, we get the shaft everyday by the state and federal government.

Let's see, they conducted a thorough investigation, found that the Asst. Supervisor lied during the investigation and obstructed the investigation, they fired him, then hired him back as an inspector at a higher rate than normal inspectors would be hired. Can we say political connections. Why is it the State of North Carolina has such a problem with the firing process. If you had good reason at the time to fire him why do you end up having to hire them back. The stories I could tell about working for the state.

its at vocational rehabiliattion also. my manager becky setlif in wilmington had the entire office paying 500 a bike and lock purchase izod carhardt clothes because the kmart account was down for an entire year while she did nothing to fix it, i was popular counselor because i actually help people number one in unit this year and i was fired after she decided i should be. they all lied no one to verify any of their lies and if you dont have a 6000 retainer forget sueing. 17 years down the drain.. the directors a jerk too sad

hope the guy prevails, the state needs more people willing to speak out and keep things honest. In a related story that might be of interest to any state employees reading this and should be of interest to all people who believe in the constitution Cherry hospital in Goldsboro just unveiled new policy that kind of nips whistleblowing in the bud. Policy says making negative comments about the hospital or quality of care or staff is punishable up to and including dismissal. Does anyone else think free speech is free? Noone will speak out now which is what the policy intends and the public will be in the dark on so much that they have a right to know
