The Carolina Review: Effects Os Succession Amendment
POWER.. As witnessed by
this year’s campaign for
governor of North Carolina,
the Gubernatorial Suc
cession Amendment of 1977
h&s proven to be (and will
continue to prove) the un
disputed and most far
reaching change in election
politics in North Carolina
since the people began
electing governors in 1836
(prior to that, the General
Assembly appointed the
gpvernor).
Although other fun
damental changes have
occurred over the years in

Refunding
Class Slated
In an effort to assist low

careful planning, coupon
clipping and refunding. She
will provide such in
formation as: how refun

She will show consumers
how they can save as much

and taking advantage of
refunds.

Still, the changes are very
real and very obvious even
at this early date.
The governor now has the
possibility of eight years in

privileges of incumbency to

Through this power at the

ficeholders in any cam
paign
Gov. James B. Hunt, for
months prior to this week’s
election, has seemed more
interested in electing other
Democrats than in
discussing his own cam
paign.
An incumbent governor
also developes tremendous
power within the many
areas of state government
that might ordinarily be
subject to bureacratic
power-areas in which every
state legislator at one time
or another must seek
assistance for his con
stituents.

patronage chief Joe Pell and

Williams, can apparently
measure the pulse of state
departments more ac
curately than any past
administration. And
everyone is aware of that
fact.
Probably most obvious,
however, is that through the
power of incumbency, the
governor can effectively
dampen the spirits and
tangible opportunities of
other candidates to run for
statewide office.
Because of Gov. Hunt’s
run for a second term, the
best race of the primary
season occured in the
lieutenant governors race
between Jimmy Green and
Carl Stewart.
Finally, there is the
possibility that through
eight years of service and
the powers of incumbency,

status that has crippled
many governors of the past
can be eliminated to a great
degree.
Gov. Hunt has put
together one of the most
powerful teams of ad
ministrative and legislative
lobbyist groups imaginable
and is almost certain to seek
gubernatorial veto power
over legislative action in a
second term.
With veto power (the
people would have to okay
this action) the governor
could maintain considerable
control through his last day
in office-at least more
control than is currently
available.
He could also cautiously
develop and groom this own
successor. In Jim Hunt’s
particular case, that
question is most interesting
since Rufus Edmisten and

Jimmy Green seem to be the
most vocal candidates at
this early date. A better
prospect probably in Hunt ’s
eyes would be Charlotte
mayor and former college
classmate. Eddie Knox.
