“Through our investigations, we at the State Auditor’s Office seek to hold individuals accountable for misguided actions,” said State Auditor Dave Boliek. “What’s been uncovered at NC A&T represents gross misconduct. Given the findings of our investigation, we’ve made a criminal referral to the State Bureau of Investigation and I have fully informed and updated the Guilford County District Attorney. I want to thank NC A&T Chancellor Martin for working with the State Auditor’s Office and for the corrective actions being taken on this matter.”

“Secretary Mullin is delivering on the promises he made to the people of Western North Carolina,” said Senator Budd. “I’m grateful that he and his team have worked with me and my Congressional colleagues to direct needed relief to WNC that ensures funds move through the FEMA review process without unnecessary bureaucratic delay. Our efforts will continue as new projects are completed every single week. My focus remains on ensuring the federal government continues to do its part and make sure funding reaches our Appalachian communities as quickly as possible, and Secretary Mullin has been an excellent partner in delivering results.”

"Roy Cooper is a yes to the left, so it's no surprise he's refusing to condemn his fellow Democrat for cheering on a fanatical terrorist regime that wants to kill Americans and wipe Israel off the face of the planet. Cooper is too weak to stand up to the pro-terrorist radical left," said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. 

“The health consequences tied to marijuana use are serious, leading to increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, psychotic disorders, and further addictions. When legislating on this issue, Congress needs to put the health and safety of the American people first, full stop. This is exactly why lawmakers need access to reliable data that details Medicaid spending associated with marijuana abuse. Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid healthcare benefits, and my legislation will ensure Congress understands the dangers of this drug and its impact on federally funded health programs,” said Senator Budd. 

“Roy Cooper opened the floodgates and then did the bare minimum to inform the public about the criminals being released into their communities,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger. “He made every effort to hide what he did, and Republicans in the General Assembly are going to hold him and Gov. Stein accountable for releasing violent, repeat offenders and endangering our citizens.”

“Financial resources tend to become entangled in a web of spending when disaster strikes, which is why our office is working to bring transparency to how hurricane relief funds are spent,” said State Auditor Dave Boliek. “By keeping lawmakers, stakeholders, and the public informed on hurricane relief spending, we can continue to improve how North Carolina responds to natural disasters.”

House Speaker Destin Hall said, “Property tax hikes are overburdening North Carolina families, who are footing the bill while some local governments take in far more than inflation and population growth can justify. I applaud the House Select Committee on Property Tax Reduction and Reform for pursuing real reforms like the constitutional amendment on levy limits, which would ease this burden so North Carolinians can keep more of their hard-earned money.”

A significant share of the more than 822,000 acres of damaged timber left behind after Hurricane Helene belongs to private landowners, the majority stakeholder of forest resources in this state,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “While we know TLRP funding will not make these landowners financially whole, we are hopeful it will help with recovery from what was an unprecedented storm.”
