General Tata’s Politics
March 16, 2011 - by
Tony Tata obviously learned something about politics in the military, as well as good offensive strategy.
When he started as Wake schools superintendent, he disarmed critics by meeting with them. Now he has proposed a budget that is austere, but avoids classroom cuts.
In other words, the same political strategy as Governor Perdue.
Statewide polls showed that 70 percent of North Carolinians supported a sales tax extension if that prevented layoffs of teachers and teacher aides. Perdue chose that battleground with legislative Republicans.
Now Tata has occupied the high ground between the Wake County
Clearly, you don’t get to be a general by being a political dummy.
