Don't worry, Louisburg is planning on fighting this thing. Take a guess at who is going to be paying the lawyer fees for it too.

I don't belive it......

I really don't believe it......

WRAL actually reported on a story in Franklin County that didn't involve somebody dying, or being declared dead.

Even if the story was only 5 sentences...

Shhhh, don't let Wake Med find out or they will pay off the state board and build an inferior one just like they are doing in Harnett County.
