Gov.-Elect Pat McCrory Appoints Art Pope as Deputy Budget Director



Gov.-elect Pat McCrory has yet to be sworn into office and he has already caused a raucous amongst the libtard enclaves that infest the Tar Heel state.  The ex-Charlotte mayor appointed the progressives’ nemesis to a position of great influence in his administration.  Art Pope will be North Carolina’s next deputy budget director.
RALEIGH Gov.-elect Pat McCrory announced three cabinet appointments and a trio of key staff hires in a news conference Thursday.

He named as his top budget official Art Pope, a conservative political financier and former state legislator. Pope will take a leave from his business interests, his foundation and from all public and nonprofit boards he serves on in order to assume the job, for which he will be a non-paid volunteer, McCrory said.
Pope, who owns Variety Wholesalers, a retail chain that includes Roses and Maxwell stores, has been working as McCrory’s transition co-chairman. His new title will be deputy budget director, but that’s because by law the governor is the budget director. Pope will be the top staffer in developing the governor’s budgets.

In recent years Pope has used his money to bankroll groups that advocate conservative causes, such as the Civitas Institute and the John Locke Foundation. He also has close ties to Americans for Prosperity, another conservative advocacy group.

If you listen closely, you can hear the commies squeal.
