Perdue admonishes lawmakers: hustle

Which taxes is she missing, the ones that double the electricity rates or the ones on social security benefits? Or perhaps it's the ones on bowling, NASCAR tickets, haircuts, car repairs, etc...but no taxes on trial lawyers. Wonder why that is...

There clearly is a difference between the NCAE and Teachers. And I know quite a few teachers who refuse membership to the NCAE because of there intimidating tactics. The NCAE is nothing short of a Gang. Their political thugs twist the arms of legislators, and candidates around election time, so that they can guarantee pay hikes to many (not all) incompetent, unqualified teachers. It is time we put children first, not benefits and pay demanded by the NCAE. Yes Perdue, we voters do see a difference between Teachers and the NCAE.

I voted for Pat McCrory and I am well known for my support of Pat since the republican primaries. So as far as Bev Perdue is concerned,

I TOLD YOU SO!

Suck it up people who voted for Bev. Learn your lesson and vote Republican.

Just because Timothy Johnson's PhD is bogus doesn't mean that everyone else's is.

This wasn't an article, it was negative campaign material from Richard Moore's campaign manager Jay Reiff. It was widely circulated at the time and didn't gain traction then.

Isn't that one of her jobs?

Tax increases don't take effect until August at the earliest - Governor Perdue is WRONG!

I wonder how many of the private sector profiteers, medical CEOs who have been feeding at the public trough in the name of 'free enterprise' draining the treasury the past 8 years voted for Bush TWICE, and still consider themselves Republican?

Unrelated, overly emotional and very nonconstructive to this conversation - I am sorry if you really like ole Bev - but facts speak louder than words and unless you have facts to support any of your claims then silence please!

UTD Staff - I said please, so do not view this as a personal attack - I used my manners.

Baby Dumpling sat and watched all this corruption for at least 8 years.....gave her stamp of approval by keeping her mouth shut.......by doing so she is part of the problem........career politicians breed corruption and lies, vote them out or they die in office.

option one.....you win
option two.....you lose

Thanks for the article, CitizenOpinionated! How come the N&O does not call Perdue on these obvious inconsistencies in how she spins her resume?

People are rightfully asking if we can trust Governor Sanford if he is not upfront with his "experiences" in SC or Argentina. In NC, can we trust Governor Perdue if she has communicated big inconsistencies with her life experiences since 1987? She has said it so many times that she probably believes herself that she actually holds two doctoral degrees, education and aging. Perhaps she really does not have a Ph.D at all?

What's the truth Beverly about your family's wealth (poor or wealthy childhood), your experience as a small business owner as well as your educational background? Now more than ever, we have to trust our leaders.

I think the GA is full of hustlers, and we don't need them to get any better at it. The article title brought to mind a funny image of Marc Basnight rolling dice outside the Legislature building, or Tony Rand asking passersby if he can "hold a dollar".

....."Gov. Beverly Perdue sternly urged the legislature...."

oooohhhhh, did she shakes her widdle fist and stomp her widdle foot too?

I found this old article and it might be a good read as to who the real person charged with running our state...

The real Suga Dumplin

And Bev does us all a favor - stop using the word teachers when you mean NCAE - we all know the difference, which is evident in your sinking poll numbers...
