Bryan Beatty gave an provocative answer about his future.
Asked by Dome through a spokesman for the N.C. Department of Crime Control whether he hoped to continue working under the new administration, Beatty did not say.
"He said he appreciates your interest, but that is between him and Gov.-elect (Beverly) Perdue," said Capt. Everett Clendenin of the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Beatty, who has been secretary of crime control since 2001, has long been rumored to be interested in staying. Of late, the speculation has been that he might take over the N.C. Department of Correction from retiring Secretary Theodis Beck.
He is the first current Cabinet member to explicitly refuse to answer the question since Dome began calling around this week.
