From the Winston Salem Journal:
Attorney General Roy Cooper talks with enthusiasm about protecting children from Internet predators, fighting methamphetamine labs and suing to reduce air pollution from neighboring states.
“I wake up every morning excited and think about what I can do,” said Cooper, who bypassed a Democratic run for governor to run a third four-year term as the state’s top law officer. “There are so many issues to tackle.”
His Republican challenger, law-firm executive Bob Crumley of Asheboro, said that Cooper has done some good but has been slow to respond to crime, particularly a backlog at the state crime lab that carries out DNA testing, and the spread of gang activity.
