Cumberland County Upset Their Supplement Isn’t As Big As Wake County’s
Cumberland County Schools is upset that their teacher salary supplement isn’t as big as Wake County’s.

Wake Cty Sheriff Race Brings In Social Justice Rhetoric
Wake County Sheriff candidate Willie Rowe made a statement captured by the News and Observer that caught my eye. Emphasis added is mine:
“I am a 28-year veteran of the sheriff’s office,” Rowe said during a meeting with the editorial board of The News & Observer. “In my 28 years, I have seen first-hand the impact crime has on families, communities and the future. I want to partner together with the community to improve public safety, close the revolving door to jail and shut down the school-to-prison pipeline.”
“school-to-prison pipeline”
GEE, We’ve heard that one before. Continue reading
