Perdue Comments on Public Records Failure
Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, Moore’s chief rival in the contest for the Democratic nomination, said Monday in a statement that “nobody in state government should attempt to circumvent, or direct employees to circumvent, our state’s public record laws. We must ensure that those laws and our e-mail retention capabilities are up to the task in 2008.”
Perdue is stupid to open her mouth on this at all. Because of her position in the Easley administration there is no good position she can take. She is the Lieutenant Governor. If she says she didn’t know about this I think she comes off as ineffective at her job and I don’t know that many people will believe her since she’s Easley’s right hand “man”. If she acknowledges the problem then that opens up the question as to why didn’t she do or say something about the problem until it got bad publicity in the media.
