RALEIGH (WTVD) --
Gov. Roy Cooper's staff told ABC11 that he plans to move in to the Executive Mansion at some point this week.
The First Family hopes to be all moved in by Sunday's special open house tied to this weekend's inaugural festivities.
Nevertheless, Monday marked Cooper's first full day on the job. And North Carolina's brand new governor appointed some old, familiar faces to his senior staff.
Cooper picked Charles Perusse to be his state Budget Director. It's a position Perusse has held before, writing budgets for Gov. Bev Perdue until early 2011. Perusse also served six years in the budget office for Gov. Mike Easley.
Cooper is tapping William McKinney to be his chief legal counsel. It's a job certain to keep McKinney busy. Cooper is already suing the General Assembly to overturn Republican-backed measures to strip away his powers over state elections oversight.
