Caperton denies mood swings amid gas-fuel plan spat
Gov. Gaston Caperton rejected claims of mood swings while discussing whether state cars should transition from gasoline to natural gas. Former press secretary G C Morse called the governor’s remarks overly harsh after a Nov. 14 incident in John Rawson’s office. Morse, fired by Caperton, said his criticism was too strong and not his to make. Caperton later defended his temper and noted Morse’s evaluation as unfounded. Caperton spoke after touring the Capitol in a Wise-owned car fueled by natural gas.
