Gov. Beverly Perdue named the rest of a budget-cutting panel.
The five appointees include Dan Gerlach, a former budget adviser to former Gov. Mike Easley who now runs the Golden LEAF Foundation, and Norma Houston, a former chief of staff to Senate leader Marc Basnight, the Associated Press reports.
Other new members include former Glaxo chief executive Charlie Sanders, the first chairman of the state lottery commission; IBM executive Curtis Clark; and N.C. Central department chairman Ron Penny.
Earlier this month, Perdue named former Cabinet member Norris Tolson and Hilda Pinnix-Ragland to head the committee.
The so-called Budget Reform and Accountability Commission will propose ways to cut state spending for the legislature to accept or reject.

This is a joke, right?
March 26, 2009 - 2:15pm — PoliticalJunkieThe only person who clearly didn't have a hand in getting North Carolina into the mess it is in financially is Curtis Clark.
Maybe these people are capable of learning from their mistakes and encouraging the legislature to avoid making the mistakes again.
