The Public Duty Doctrine.6 (Cont'd)

This was the Governor's response to my October 31, 1991 letter:

"State of North Carolina
Office of the Governor
Raleigh 27603-8001

"James G. Martin
Governor

"December 2, 1991

"Mr. David McMillan
Route 2, Box 434
Asheville, North Carolina 28805

"Dear Mr. McMillan:

"I am writing in response to your October 31, 1991 letter to Governor Martin. The circumstances you describe, although they are matters of great concern, do not create a state of emergency under our statutes.

"Sincerely,

"Barbara A. Jackson
Assistant Legal Counsel to the Governor

"BAJ/SL"

Postscript: Apparently, George Orwell's novel "1984" is as relevant today in 2009, as it was in 1991, as it was in 1949.
