Hard times, tough luck for Perdue
The governor's approval plummets as the state's economy worsens and she proposes raising taxes.
RALEIGH (The Raleigh News & Observer) - Nearly six months after taking office, Gov. Beverly Perdue's political honeymoon is over.
Perdue has been politically whipsawed from the left and the right. Teachers, state employees and advocates for the poor have taken to the streets, upset about state budget cuts and furloughs. Conservatives, outraged over her proposal to raise taxes by $1.5 billion, have taken up protest signs.
Their anger has taken a toll on Perdue, to the point that she is now among the nation's most unpopular governors.
