WRAL’s Cullen Browder Digs Into Questionable Spending By Ed Official

Posted on November 6, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

WRAL’s Cullen Browder dug into the questionable spending habits of former Granville Superintendent Tim Farley. The report included some pretty interesting stuff.

Here’s the meat of the story:

WRAL Investigates reviewed statements for the five credit cards and found thousands of dollars in technology purchases, convertible sports car rentals, two spa charges at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, an online order for a 12-pack of Heineken BeerTender Tubes, an Amazon Prime membership, non-itemized receipts from restaurants such as Dugans Pub, Atlantic Beer Garden and Whiskey Priest, and other purchases that appeared questionable. – WRAL, 11/5/14, Convertibles, beer tubes, spa: Auditors probing Granville schools’ spending

I sincerely hope Mr. Browder doesn’t stop there.

An Update On That CMS Sales Tax Referendum

Posted on November 6, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Over the last month, I’ve been noting the politicking in our schools in part of the state over a sales tax referendum. That referendum didn’t pass. Color me shocked that no one wanted their taxes increased.

The referendum failed by a 3-2 margin according to the Charlotte Observer. Despite all that noise and fury, voters said ‘No’:

‘No’ votes outnumbered support for the increase by 61 percent to 39 percent with most precincts reporting, a margin that had held steady from the earliest returns. – Charlotte Observer, 11/4/14, Mecklenburg sales tax: Failed by 3-2 margin

WCNC had a breakdown of the proposal:

New Dem Wake County Commissioners Already Reaching For Your Wallet

Posted on November 6, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Just yesterday, I said to gird your wallets. I said the four Moral Monday Democrats who are now on the Wake County Commissioners board were going to push for a mass transit boondoggle and raise taxes.

Apparently, that call was right on target:

Gird Your Wallet: Wake County Commissioner Races 2014

Posted on November 5, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The Moral Monday candidates took the Wake County Commissioner races last night.
Gird your wallets, people.

Frankly, I don’t know what Wake voters were thinking. These Moral Monday candidates ran under the banner of ‘More with Four’. Well, the ‘More’ in that title is more taxes. When those tax increases, mass transit boondoggles and bond referendums start to come, don’t complain to me. I warned you.

As for the NC GOP. Shame on you. You neglected these races and it look what happened.

These Moral Monday candidates didn’t have enough experience to full a thimble and instead of promoting the Republicans like you did last cycle, you seemingly blew it off. Now these big government, big spending, social justice crusaders are in control of our taxes.
GOOD GOING.

@NCGOP The lack of push behind the Wake comissioner candidates + lack of calling out biased N&O = Why you lost. Those were LAYUPS. #ncpol

Excuse the typo in the above tweet. Note to self, don’t type angry.

Across all four races, the party candidate numbers looked like this:

North Carolina Midterms 2014

Posted on November 5, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

North Carolina Midterm Election Roundup for 2014

Key take-aways:

North Carolina made history last night with a new high for midterm voter turn out.
Thom Tillis defeated Kay Hagan.
Renee Ellmers defeated Clay Aiken.
The General Assembly kept a super majority in both houses.
Wake County Commissioner races were won by all four Democrats running. Be afraid for your wallet, people. Don’t complain I didn’t warn you about these people when they start to hike your taxes.
Chief Justice Mark Martin defeated Judge Ola Lewis. Other Judicial races were not so good for Republicans.
See my Storify Article, North Carolina Races 2014 , for statistics on these key points.

A breakout of the Wake County Commissioners race will be coming. Stay tuned. Continue reading →

Enterovirus Likely Brought In By Illegals

Posted on November 4, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In October, I asked NC Dept. of Health and Human Services exactly where in North Carolina Enterovirus patients were located and where reports of cases were happening. I received little back in useful information at that time.

Many, including myself, have speculated that the influx of illegal immigrants had a role to play in the outbreaks of Enterovirus that cropped up in multiple states. Major media have yet to ask that question. Local media aren’t touching it.

Instapundit has a link addressing this question which infers a correlation between the disease and the depositing of illegal immigrants in the states.
