North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue
North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue (D) issued an executive order Friday that unilaterally reinstated unemployment insurance for 47,000 laid off North Carolinians.
The benefits had stopped because of a long term impasse between Perdue and Republicans in the state legislature.
Perdue explained:
For weeks, I have been trying to work with the Republican legislative leaders to get them to do the right thing: send me a clean bill to extend the unemployment benefits for 47,000 North Carolinians who have lost their jobs,' Perdue said in a statement.
Instead, they have persistently attempted to use our unemployed workers as hostages by tying the extension of their benefits to my acceptance of budget bills that would inflict severe and unnecessary cuts to our schools and other essential programs.
