Perdue's junior year

Beverly Perdue tackled education as a third-term state senator.

During the state legislature's 1995-96 term, 12 of the 51 bills she sponsored dealt with North Carolina's public schools.

Successes included bills to ask the State Board of Education for recommended changes in the public school system, allow local school boards to expel dangerous students and prevent education officials from requiring that learning disabled students complete Algebra I.

Perdue also introduced bills to give teachers the same longevity benefits as state employees and reward teaching excellence.

Less successful was an attempt to create a "Common Sense Regulatory Review Commission."

Apparently, the legislature decided that common sense does not require regulation.

What a STUNNING SLAP in the faces of NC citizens when Perdue AND Moore showed the height of ARROGANCE by refusing to participate in the statewide broadcasted goobernatorial debate last night!

Hopefully NC citizens can see that either one of these clowns will guarantee 'MORE CORRUPTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION' in NC!!!
