Perdue Shuffles the Deck
2010-12-10 - by
Governor Perdue’s Cabinet reorganization demonstrates the advantage a governor always has over a legislature.
While Republican legislators organize themselves and talk about what they plan to do, she can act.
In the context of a near-$4 billion hole, her plan may not look huge. But her changes look good; even Republicans praised them. And the message was perfect: I’m serious about cutting waste.
Both she and President Obama have the right strategy now. He has picked a fight with his party’s left in Congress – and put together Son of Stimulus. The Governor has positioned herself for a potentially politically potent fight with Republicans over budget cuts.
Stay tuned.
