Wake Commissioner Candidate Slammed On Education, UNC Report

Posted on October 28, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Wake Citizens Coalition slams “More at Four” Wake County Commissioner candidate. News and Observer hardest hit?

“Matt Calabria noted the “major’s popularity among undergraduate students …” The Wainstein report did also.

OUCH. That’s gonna leave a mark.
