Gov. Beverly Perdue seized North Carolina's emergency ``rainy day fund'' Wednesday to help keep state government financially afloat during the weakening economy.
Perdue said she was taking the $787 million pot that is usually reserved for handling hurricanes and other crises. The Democratic governor said she would use $250 million of the fund to help prop up the state employees health plan and reserve the rest to make sure the state could meet its obligations.
