From The SGR News Desk... Governor Bev Perdue has declared a State of Emergency in advance of Hurricane Earl. The Category 4 storm is expected to remain a major hurricane as it approaches North Carolina late Thursday night and early Friday morning. A warning is now in effect for the Outer Banks. Residents in Ocracoke and Hatteras Islands have also been ordered to evacuate. SGR’s Josh Ellis looks at the steps state officials are making. He also chats with SGR’s Gurnal Scott, who is covering the storm in Nags Head. Mitch Kokai Commentary Panel Tells Perdue To Get New Commander, Don't Wait For General Assembly A blue-ribbon panel recommends that Gov. Beverly Perdue select the next commander of the North Carolina Highway Patrol using current rules that prevent an outsider from being appointed. Perdue asked the patrol's Leadership Advisory Group to report back to her by Wednesday. Current state law essentially narrows the commander to those within the agency. Perdue says the panel needs more time to look at the possibility of hiring someone from outside the state. The group's report was due on Col. Randy Glover's last day as commander. He stepped down after continued scrutiny of a series of recent scandals involving troopers. Barlow Herget Commentary |
