Tippett's ambiguous response


Lyndo Tippett also gave an ambiguous response.

As part of Dome's survey of Gov. Mike Easley's sitting Cabinet members, the secretary of Transportation did not rule out working for Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue.

"I have enjoyed my years of service in Gov. Easley's administration and am currently assisting with the transition to Gov.-elect Perdue's administration," he said in a statement. "I consider it an honor and privilege to serve the public."

It's fairly unlikely that Tippett will stay around, but his non-answer is intriguing nonetheless.

Re: Tippett's ambiguous response

he's good at ambiguity.

it was funny as heck when he got cornered by an unexpected radio reporter/talkshow host over at Lake Junaluska last year! he was really ambiguous that day with his responses on air! he did NOT mean to be caught like that!

Tippett is the highest paid NONelected official in NC. WHY?
