Perdue's Promises: The Budget


Gov. Beverly Perdue promised to cut wasteful spending.

In a page on her campaign Web site, Perdue pledged to create an "independent and bipartisan body" of 15 citizens to suggest ways to cut the budget.

The proposal is modeled after the Base Realignment and Closure process for closing military bases.

"In the first year of each budget biennium, the BRAC Budget Board will present a maximum of ten separate governmental efficiency proposals," the pledge reads.

The legislature will have to vote on each proposal.

Perdue has already fulfilled part of this promise, signing an executive order today creating the board.
