Political Drought

Governor Easley emerges from the Mansion to tell municipal officials we’re facing a drought emergency, but he doesn’t declare a state of emergency.



City officials say they’re already taking action.



Raleigh’s City Council waits until after the elections to take up a ban on all outdoor watering.



Meanwhile, the sprinklers and hoses keep running. And the lakes get lower.



Which is the bigger crisis: the shortage of water, or the shortage of political leadership?
