Maybe folks did not pay attention, but Mr McC has appointed based on fit for the position, not political party. Something that the former guvs never did.

Why is the AARP taking a stand on appointments to the Utilities Commission? Are they just publicly opposing a candidate they did not support or do they have an honest stake in who is appointed to the Utilities Commission? - Dadzilla

Think senior citizens on fixed income. Should the rates jump as the result of a bad appointment then their members are effected.

As for the conflict of interest, I'm sure the media will be quick to report should an appointment appear to be Duke Energy friendly.

So there are people who are actually *TELLING THE GOVERNOR what need should and should NOT DO......really??????????????????? One would think that they would allow him a chance to do the job that the people have voted him to do.....without others telling him what is best....

Are you kidding, he has the individuals in line for the job.The NC Ethics Commission will have nothing to say about the right wing cronyism. It has been set in motion. Have to wail 4 yrs for any changes.

Perdue appointed Lanier Cansler, an insurance company 1%-er, to a very lucrative position as head of DHHS. Even after he was removed, the clowns he put in place can't get the Medicaid billing system correct much less run an organization that works in the interests of the citizens. I don't want to hear about cronyism.

Who cares about these organizations? Let's just wait to see what the NC Ethics Commission has to say about the right wing cronyism. Should be very interesting. geosol

=========================================

Whats to care or worry about? The same commission was in tact for Easley and Perdue, so what? Besides half of the commission is appointed by the Governor. Whatcha so worried about?

Sounds like he told em to stick the letter where the sun don't shine. While there is a confict of interest, they'll just be as crooked as the current board who sold out the citizens of NC.

"liberal media conspiracy" - Sorry, this isn't one of my complaints. There are just as many mongers of conservative issues in the media as there are liberal screamers. It just depends on what channel you're watching or paper you're reading. Media is interested in ratings, nothing more. If McCrory's administration succeeds it will be because it succeeds. If not, it will be because it did not. Perdue, Easley, etc. will have nothing to do with it good or bad.
