Garrett Perdue, out and about


Garrett PerdueGarrett Perdue is out and about again.

The son of Gov. Beverly Perdue was spotted at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Durham today for the N.C. Chamber's annual meeting. He was seated at the Womble Carlyle table.

Among the speakers at the event was his mother. Former Gov. Mike Easley was on hand to receive an award, and Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton was also at the event.

No members of the Congressional delegation were on hand.

In mid-February, the younger Perdue was hired by Womble Carlyle, the state's largest law firm, to work with former Gov. Jim Hunt on economic development and government relations strategy.

The firm was insistent that he would not be doing any lobbying in Raleigh, though Perdue was recently spotted at the legislature for unexplained reasons.

He is not currently registered as a lobbyist with the N.C. Secretary of State or the U.S. Senate.

A federal judge found both Garrett and Emmett Perdue were not at fault in that accident.

Maybe this guy should just go back to driving boats drunk and crashing them, while nearly killing girlfriends...or was that his well-healed brother?
