Doug Clark said Gov. Mike Easley's exit interview was an example of why his administration has had problems.
In a post on his Off the Record blog, the Greensboro News-Record columnist said that a recent series on probation was not a "hatchet job" just because it told the public about an ongoing problem.
"Sorry for not being nice about this, governor, but that is a legitimate news story," he writes. "It's a matter of public interest when violent criminals who ought to be locked up are allowed to run loose endangering innocent people."
Clark also criticized Easley's remark that the real solution is to restart capital punishment.
Yeah, that's it. Execute them.
Just one problem: Probationers are NOT convicted murderers. People who are convicted of capital crimes and sentenced to death are NOT put on probation.
It's just an inconvenient legal necessity to hold the death penalty until AFTER one is convicted of a capital crime and sentenced to die.
But nice try, governor.

Re: Clark: Nice try, governor
Wow! So was the mental health debacle a hatchet job as well? I don't really see what he has done during his term, maybe I'm missing something.
