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.
