Ross not ruling it out


Bill Ross is not ruling out working for Beverly Perdue.

In an e-mail to Dome, the secretary of Environment and Natural Resources did not rule out continuing in his job for the governor-elect.

"Any decision about who will lead the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will come from Gov.-elect Perdue and her team," he said. "I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to serve and I plan to continue to work on the conservation and protection of our natural resources whatever the future holds."

Ross has long been rumored to be interested in staying.
