Gov. Beverly Perdue has
posted a
series of Q&A videos in which she addresses concerns of
her North Carolina constituents. Today, in her
answer to a public school teacher who complains about state
budget cutbacks which has led to teacher assistant firings,
Perdue said this year’s “toughest budget challenge” was “maybe
even as tough as what happened in the Great Depression.”
Undoubtedly she was just “emotionalizing” the issue — so much more palatable than
“exaggerating” or “lying.”
