TO THE EDITOR:
While Pat McCrory has spent the last five years going around our great state campaigning to be governor, it is clear that there has only been one person actually governing North Carolina —Beverly Perdue.
Coming into office during one the nation’s worst economic times, Gov. Perdue has steered the ship of the state by increasing government transparency, reforming state government, protecting education and facilitating job creation.
The Perdue record is clear — budgets which protect the classroom, consolidating state government, keeping North Carolina’s triple-A bond rating, and luring multi-national business to the state with $19.4 billion in investments and 87,000 jobs created.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Raleigh have handed out pink slips to North Carolina’s teachers and have yet to address the unemployment problem in our state.
In 2008, Mr. McCrory said the difference is leadership. I agree, and that’s why we need Beverly Perdue.
