TO THE EDITOR:
I find Kevin Lampley’s letter, “Recent coverage has ignored statewide events,” about Gov. Bev Perdue’s comments very biased and uncalled for.
Perdue has been an excellent governor, fighting for the average citizen, the elderly, the poor and our children since the day she took office. She is doing all of this while under extreme pressure of trying to deal with a budget deficit.
She has fought to salvage our laws protecting our environment — something you cannot fix once it is trashed. Her statement, if you read beyond the lines, is referring to the circus we have going on in national politics right now, where both sides are bickering over trivial things and trying to not compromise and solve our crisis.
Don’t even try to compare Perdue to Rick Perry. Please, there is no comparison.
I, for one, think she was referring to those in Congress who are dragging their feet because of party ties.
Our efforts need to be focused toward solutions, not political rhetoric.
