A Win for Perdue
2010-09-01 - by
Remember the furor last year when Governor Perdue announced that dozens of long-term, convicted criminals might get out of prison early because of an issue over “good time”?
Remember how everybody said what a disaster this would be for her?
Remember how critics said she overreacted by threatening to stand in the jailhouse door to prevent their release?
Then, last week, did you notice when the state Supreme Court ruled that she was, in fact, right? That the inmates wouldn’t be getting out early?
Somehow that didn’t get quite the same attention.
The Governor and her people should enjoy some told-you-so’s here.
