Perdue wants panel to help provide bold leadership
Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue stopped by The Daily Reflector office Thursday afternoon to discuss her platform, insisting she will be a bold and hands-on leader if elected governor this November.
She listed executive orders and directives she plans to tackle her first day in office. They included appointing an accountability team to make unannounced inspections of state facilities such as mental health hospitals and probation offices, she said.
She also would appoint a citizen panel to develop 10 major budget reform measures for the legislature to vote on individually, she said.
“I’ve been the state budget chair, so I know where some of the potholes are,” she said. “I want to find 10 or 15 of the best and brightest minds in North Carolina, Republican, Democrat … I’m gonna ask them to spend some really long hours, for free, helping me figure out what it is we can do better.”
The visit was the second to the Reflector’s office in three weeks.
