At least four more members of Governor Mike Easley's Cabinet are not planning to stick around when Bev Perdue takes over next month.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reports Administration Secretary, Britt Cobb, and an aide to Commerce Secretary Jim Fain said they are stepping down from their posts.

The newspaper also said Juvenile Justice Secretary, George Sweat, and Correction Secretary, Theodis Beck, are retiring.

Perdue has yet to name any cabinet members.
