A foul-mouthed, fed-up mother who had one too many glasses of wine with dinner? A crisis actor who got a little too carried away with the part? An impassioned partisan
An administrative request to shift surplus funds from one school bond construction project to another prompted a contentious discussion of the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday.
The five-member board ultimately approved moving the leftover money from Aberdeen Elementary to the new Southern Pines Elementary, but not without some fractured debate.
The item in question, involving a $1.56 million transfer, is normally a routine matter and originally had been slotted for the commissionersâ consent agenda. Consent agenda items are approved together in one action.
But during a Dec. 31 meeting to set the agenda, Commissioner Louis Gregory told commissioners chairman Frank Quis he had concerns about the item and wanted it removed.
