Gov Bev Perdue’s statement on the passing of Gov Jim Hunt.

"I am deeply saddened at the passing of Gov. Jim Hunt. He was a model public servant – from his work after college as an economic adviser in Nepal to lifelong efforts at excellence in education to expanding jobs and economic opportunities. We shared much including being elected governor after service as lieutenant governor. He was a model for my service in both offices. His innovative efforts that linked the state’s community colleges to economic development boosted jobs and made the community college system the envy of the nation. His integrity, compassion and love for the people of North Carolina transcended partisanship and set a high standard for others to aspire to. We have been blessed for his service and my heart goes out to his daughter current Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt, his wife Carolyn and the rest of his family. "
