N.C. Spin has seconded the Dome's gossip.
As we noted, one of the names potentially being discussed for state secretary of transportation is Sen. Clark Jenkins.
Now the weekly e-newsletter has made the same call:
The Tarboro Senator has served on the DOT board, has headed the Senate committee on Transportation, and has been a vocal critic of the way the department has been run. Jenkins would be a maverick at DOT and would surely shake things up in this department that often appears arrogant and incompetent. He is highly independent; however he does have very close connections with Senate leadership. Maybe the right man at the right time.
We asked the Magic Eight Ball if Jenkins would be appointed. It's response: Yes.
