RALEIGH — Even though Gov. Bev Perdue’s 2008 campaign for governor ended nearly four years ago, the upcoming trial of New Bern attorney Trawick “Buzzy” Stubbs should offer further insight into her campaign’s mysterious aircraft provider program.
Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby maintains that the 10 flights Stubbs paid for, reported by Perdue’s campaign staff months after the election, amounted to illegal campaign donations.
The trial, scheduled to begin June 11, also may provide insight into Perdue’s decision not to seek a second term as governor.
Perdue never has acknowledged publicly when she learned her campaign did not pay for more than 40 flights she took in privately owned aircraft to attend political fundraisers.
In addition, Perdue has not explained fully a number of flights that she took as lieutenant governor. A Carolina Journal review of 2007-08 expenditures by Perdue’s office reveals that, in addition to not paying for a number of campaign-related flights, she also made no payments to private aircraft owners for travel related to official state business.
