Republican legislative leaders used their regular Tuesday news conference to focus on an amendment that would put an end to “golden parachutes” in state government.
“Specifically, our provision will prohibit a separated state employee ? voluntary or otherwise ? from being paid for work he or she has stopped doing,” according to a news release linked to the news conference. The Mary Easley controversy has attracted attention to severance packages that have allowed some high-level administrators at N.C.
