Gov. Bev Perdue Appoints Judges Days Before the End of Term



Soon to be ex-Governor, Bev Perdue had to stick it to her constituents one more time.  Just days before Pat McCrory takes the oath to succeed her, she makes four judicial appointments.  One of them is on her staff:

Gov. Bev Perdue appointed her general counsel, Mark Davis, to an open seat on the N.C. Appeals Court.

Davis, who has worked as Perdue’s in-house lawyer for two years, is filling a seat left vacant by the governor’s appointment of Cheri Beasley to the N.C. Supreme Court.

According to Perdue’s office, Davis was a special deputy attorney general in the state Department of Justice from 2006 to 2011, and spent 13 years in private practice. He has undergraduate and law degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill.

Davis worked with Perdue as she reached her decision to pardon the Wilmington 10.

You’re a class act, Bev Perdue.  Good riddance.
