Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue checked out of state when thinking about who to appoint to lead the Department of Transportation and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Perdue told Dome that she looked harder out of state for a new HHS secretary, but that she checked out what other state transportation departments are doing.
"I'm not going to say I brought in people to interview," Perdue said. "My preference is to find really great North Carolinians."
Perdue also left Dome with the distinct impression that the search for cabinet posts and agency heads is all but over.
"I believe the team I'm going to announce pretty soon is a great team," she said.
She declined to announce the list to Dome. We took a shot.
