NC GOP recruits for McCrory administration jobs, raising partisan concerns
...
“State employees should be hired based on what they know, not who they know,” said Dana Cope, president of the State Employees Association of North Carolina. “No public service job should be awarded on partisan politics, and it is illegal to do so.”
....
Todd Poole said he began sending the weekly email in August, when he took the helm running the party’s daily operations. It goes to roughly 130 Republican officials and associates, many of whom send it to even more party activists.
....
But at the same time, he acknowledged, he only emails the notice to Republicans and friends. “We haven’t had a Republican administration in this state in over 20 years, and our state government is full of Democrat bureaucrats,” he said. “If a few Republicans get jobs, I’ll take our Republican bureaucrats over Democrat bureaucrats every day.” [font color="red"](Democrat! Awk! Pull my string!)[/font]
....
The N.C. Democratic Party did not send a weekly email when the party controlled the governor’s mansion under Gov. Bev Perdue, said spokesman Micah Beasley.
....
Donna Williams, the Wake County Republican Party chairwoman, said she takes the email and sends jobs in her area to about 7,000 people, some of whom are unaffiliated and Democratic voters. “So many people have no idea they can go to a specific website for state government to look for a job,” she said. “It’s a way of getting the word out into the community.”

I don't believe you, Donna Williams. And sorry, if your fellow Republicans are too stupid to know there's a NC .gov website for job searching, maybe they're too stupid to work for the gub'mint.
