Governor Vetoes the 2012/2103 Fiscal Budget Produced by the General Assembly | Eastern North Carolina Now

   Late Friday, June 29, 2012, Governor Beverly Perdue vetoed the 20.2 billion dollar budget proposed by the Republican controlled North Carolina General Assembly, and now that proposal, as NC law, becomes more uncertain as both houses of the legislature will search for enough votes to override her veto, scheduled for next week.

   Republicans probably already have enough votes in the Senate, with 30 of the 50 NC Senate seats held by Republican representatives; however, there is some level of uncertainty in the NC House with Republicans controlling a lower majority of that chamber.

   Democrat NC House members should balance the historical facts that previous budgets subsequent to the Republican control of both chambers, were often larger in financial resources expended than revenues received, which was an embarrassment to their ability to manage a government and budget its operation. Governor Beverly Perdue, in her first two years of governor, led her Democrat controlled NC House and NC Senate to overspend their resources, with the resulting consequence: Republicans controlling both chambers of the NC General Assembly for the first time in modern history, who did balance the budget in fiscal 2011 /2012, and now the governor being recognized as the most unpopular governor, by polling data, in all 50 of these United States.

   Governor Beverly Perdue has long been an advocate of education as means to control the votes within the education industry, bolstered by their union, NCAE.

   In regards to Governor Perdue's advocacy for the education industry, she once declared: "I’ll stand right in the ditch with anybody and fight my eyes out, as long as the battle involves public education and children’s future."

   The governor is passionate about education, but, I deduct from her previous statement, that I rather doubt if the governor has ever read Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Seriously, getting in a ditch for any fight?

   Here below, we have an image file of the governor's primary objections, here titled as the "Top 20 Budget Flaws," to the Republican influenced budget:
