Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue plans to have three offices.

Spokesman David Kochman said that Perdue will keep the two offices in New Bern and Asheville and add a third in Charlotte, in addition to the governor's main office in Raleigh.

Each of the offices will be staffed by a representative whose job it will be to serve as a link between the governor's office and the local government.

"The things they might do would be representing the governor at local events and regional meetings, so they can report back about the matters being discussed," he said.

They will also help with local constituent service and help Perdue prepare for a local visit.

Kochman said that Perdue's pledge to open a Charlotte office came long before she faced Republican Pat McCrory in the November campaign.

I'm thinking about starting a betting book. Anyone care to wager on the over-under of how many visits she makes to this Charlotte office? It wouldn't be like Queen Bev to actually work much, following in the footsteps of King Hunt and King Mike.

Smart move Dumpling. A moving target is harder to hit. Picking out curtains for each office should keep her busy for the first year.
