Perdue, Moore used offices for campaigns

The state auditor has found that Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue and State Treasurer Richard Moore -- both Democratic candidates for governor -- used their state offices to campaign.In a news release and report today, State Auditor Les Merritt, a Republican, said that state policy allows public employees to make reasonable personal use of state-provided Internet access. However, he found activity in both offices that rose above reasonable personal use to a level of active participation in political campaigns."Let's remember that when state resources and personnel are used for political campaigning, it's the taxpayers that get stuck with the bill," Merritt said.The audit found "significant" evidence of campaigning within the treasurer's office. It found some evidence of campaign activity in Perdue's office and also the potential for abuse of state resources.

Par for the course with North Carolina Democrats...which is why Hunt never had a chance for a national office, and Easley won't either. Too much corruption in North Carolina state government.
