His insinuation that the governor, a fellow Democrat, should step aside so that he can run for her office is beneath contempt and self-serving in the extreme. Gov. Perdue did nothing improper. The governor cooperated fully with the investigation. District Attorney Colon Willoughby attested to the fact that the evidence proved that the governor was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153never\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c repeat \u00e2\u20ac\u0153never\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c implicated in any wrongdoing, when he stated explicitly, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The conduct of the governor is not and never has been at issue, nor the conduct of any other elected official.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And furthermore, the indictments on their face preclude involvement by the governor, stating that these monies were spent outside of the campaign and outside the knowledge of the governor. Rep. Faison, as an attorney, should be able to read the plain language of the indictment.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0I have supported Gov. Perdue in the past, and will continue to support her in her bid for reelection to the office of governor. Gov. Perdue has stood strong on women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rights and civil rights, and I applaud her. The time for the people of North Carolina \u00e2\u20ac\u201c particularly women \u00e2\u20ac\u201c\u00c2\u00a0to rally behind Gov. Bev Perdue is now. <\/p>\n<p>Renee Price<br \/>\n<em>President, Orange County Democratic Women<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By attacking North Carolina\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first woman governor, Beverly Perdue, Bill Faison over-reached himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22261"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22264,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22261\/revisions\/22264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
