Thanks to Greensboro News-Record reporter Mark Binker for this audio of, among other things, Gov. Beverly Perdue’s reaction to this week’s N.C. Court of Appeals ruling against former governor Mike Easley’s $80 million raid of the Highway Trust Fund to balance the state budget in 2001. The governor says she was “taken aback” by it and says in her comments that her administration will appeal the ruling.
