The Pettiness of Gov. Easley

Recall an earlier posting here about the dust-up in Raleigh between the Easley administration and fellow Democrat and State Auditor Ralph Campbell.

The Gov has struck back at Campbell, recommending in his budget proposal that Campbell's department be cut by 2.2 percent, the biggest percentage cut of any state agency. The cut amounts to $228,000.

Nice going, Mike! Send the auditor to Abu Ghraib for a little softening up!
