Opportunity knocks, hard, for NC Gov Bev Perdue
RALEIGH (BY ROB CHRISTENSEN, NewsObserver.com) - For Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue, the next six months could tell the tale of her administration.
Faced with a gaping $3.7 billion budget shortfall and a new Republican legislature, Perdue will find her political, budgetary and administrative skills tested as never before.
During the first half of her term - the midpoint is Monday - Perdue has been buffeted by a deep recession, an ongoing fiscal crisis, a raft of budget cuts, state employee furloughs, salary freezes, a tax increase, and state and federal investigations that have left her among the nation's most unpopular governors.
