Debbie Crane took issue today with Gov. Mike Easley's characterization of her actions as the chief spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Crane, who was fired from the post, said she didn't withhold any records of Carmen Hooker Odom's purported opposition as DHHS secretary to the 2001 reforms. Among other things, she said, the governor's office had asked her to find a copy of a speech that Hooker Odom never gave, reports Matthew Eisley.
"There were no documents because the woman didn't oppose mental-health reform," Crane said. "They don't exist. You can't create something if it doesn't exist."
Crane, who has been job-hunting, said she's considering showing up for work tomorrow at her old office.
"If they can't agree on who fired me," she said, "maybe I still have a job."
