What Beverly Perdue says and what she has done are too often very different...
THE LIE
Beverly Perdue's website says, "she was instrumental in developing Smart Start, a national model for school readiness and early childhood development."
Her television commercial, "Love and Faith," claims that in the General Assembly, she was "leading the fight for Smart Start."
THE TRUTH
In 1995, Beverly Perdue's hometown newspaper, the New Bern Sun Journal, reported that: "Jones County’s Smart Start program could be in jeopardy. Perdue said she has never been a strong supporter of the early childhood health and education program that Hunt championed in his first year in office. Smart Start cost $20 million to install 23 pilot programs in its first year, and is expected to grow to $500 million by 2000, she said. 'I don’t think North Carolina can support that bureaucracy,' she said."
