What Would John A. Do?

A reader writes: “Were you as astonished as me at the reaction to Bev’s consolidation plan?”
 
State Controller David McCoy told WRAL he is opposed to Governor Perdue’s Cabinet-consolidation plan.  Linda Hayes, Perdue’s Secretary of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, dragged her feet about how difficult it would be.
 
The reader notes: “If John A. Williams were still around, they both would’ve been in the governor’s office Saturday morning and told to leave their keys on the desk!”
 
(For you youngsters, John A. was Governor Hunt’s legendarily ruthless Executive Assistant and Budget Director from 1977-1984.)
