Gov. Mike Easley has nominated Susan Rabon to the N.C. Utilities Commission.
A Holly Springs resident, Rabon was a corporate lawyer in Wilmington before going to work as special counsel for the N.C. Department of Justice under then Attorney General Easley in 1993. She became chief of staff of the department in 1994.
Currently she works as senior assistant for administration in the governor's office.
Rabon graduated from N.C. State University in 1982 with a degree in political science and received her law degree from the University of Virginia in 1986. She clerked for N.C. Court of Appeals Judge Jack Cozort.
"Susan Rabon is an accomplished lawyer who has served our state with distinction and dedication," Easley said in a statement. "Her integrity and knowledge of state government are unmatched. Her first priority has always been the needs and concerns of the people of North Carolina and I know she will take that same approach as a member of this commission."
The appointment will fill one of two openings on the board. Easley also nominated Crime Control Secretary Bryan Beatty today.
Both appointments will have to be confirmed by the legislature.

Re: Easley nominates Rabon for commission
What kind of financial benefits might one expect after this type of appointment? I might want to challenge the lack of public advertisment.
