Dianne was not looking for a handout she was looking for help. What was she suppose to do live in the street or in a shelter. Don't judge unless you walked in her shoes. All she wanted was her roof fixed, they took their time and the damage got worse. Was she suppose to say NO to a new home. Would you!!

"Is there a single NC state governement agency, office or section that is competent?" - yankee

Apparently not, every audit Beth Wood has done has shown major financial mismanagement. And to date, no one has been fired.

Mistakes were made.... hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars wasted. Same story... different day... different circumstance. And folks wonder why some people dont like paying taxes.

Is there a single NC state governement agency, office or section that is competent?

be carefull of what you say, the very leaf that gets turned over may very well be your own!

if Galbreath had just put a roof on her house( which the storm probly had nothing to do with) it would have saved the tax payer some money. Some people just look for hand outs any where they can get it.

"Mistakes were made..." That sounds familiar, doesn't it?

And we expect these people to pass more laws to protect us from ourselves. Honestly folks, I think the Mayans may have been right.

“I appreciated it, (but I saw) money being wasted. I really did,” Galbreath said

Then why didn't she do something about it? A couple of years after I stopped using unemployment, I received a letter in the mail from the department of unemployment saying I had $6,000.00 more coming to me. All I had to do was start electronic filing and enter my PIN. It was tempting, we needed the money, but I knew it had to be a mistake. I tore the letter up. The following year we learned unemployment made a tremendous mistake and overpaid in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and my letter was indeed an error.

If you smell something fishy, you need to step up and not take advantage.

"Every agency in the state that has been audited or 'looked at closely' is being exposed for waste, graft, corruption. McCrory has a lot of work to do."

True- and he'd best look at reigning in the R general assembly instead of going on athe wild joyride they seem to expect:

"Problems identified by Medicaid audit largely result of NC Republican’s own budget."

"the major finding in the audit, that NC’s Medicaid program wasn’t able to meet the budget set for it by the Republican majority in the General Assembly (and passed over former Democratic Governor Perdue’s veto)..."
