I read the link. There is no "proof" of anything. Perhaps that word does not mean what you think it means.
If you think there is no proof then I would encourage you to contact WBTV call them out on the story and then follow up with Pendergraph and ask him why he is telling blatant lies. Then you can come back and paste the "E" communications you receive. That won't be done, it takes to much work and fortitude.

If you think the proof is there, just quote it and post it. It wouldn't take much work or fortitude... But that won't be done, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST!

You have offered nothing but your opinion in this topic. You are entitled to it, but it's no basis for demanding that anyone else provide "proof" to you. If you were really interested, then I would expect that someone who teaches logic as you claim, can figure out how google works.
Pendergraph is absolutely correct in asking CMS to return that money. That school system is going to have to do with less like everyone else is these days.
"[CMS] did tell people this is an estimate," Roberts said. "This is what the state has told us to do. Look at a 10 percent cut. This is what the Governor has told us to do. This is what the legislature told us."
Yet Pendergraph feels duped? Posturing for the tea party... nothing more.
That's not my opinion son, that's a direct quote from a County Commissioner who says something exactly contrary to the entire premise of this sad thread.

Oh, you don't have an opinion now? If you are so willing to accept anything that is printed, then from the same article.
Pendergraph believes CMS officials knew they were going to get about $30 million more from the state before they cried broke. He believes if other county commissioners knew that information, the district would have received less than the $26 million the district got from the county.
He isn't the only one to state this.
Jennifer Roberts hasn't cited the NC State legislation that required them to do this. When she does, I will believe it. Otherwise, this is a matter of opinion and as I said above, if the CMS accounting is so bad, they can't produce a valid budget, then bring in outside auditors and accountants.

lol.
It is in the original post.....you want to debunk it, YOU prove it. Get over the silly and childish games because you don't like a post or poster. LOL!
To me this issue hinges on one *crucial* accusation.
1. CMS leaders (Gorman) duped, conned and/or stole $26MM from the County since they knew the State would fund them at a higher level than they (and the general public) were informed.
The thread was posited as if this accusation was fact. And subsequent posts by you and chromecat have inferred directly and indirectly that the evidence exists proving that it is fact.
I have definitively posted my evidence that, PERHAPS, this accusation is not fact... as you and your buddy would have us believe. My evidence is a direct quote from the Big Dog Commissioner that states that the COMMISSIONERS KNEW BUDGETS WERE AN ESTIMATE! Now Pendergraph is trying to save face for his tax-hating constituency. Earlier he was ok with the $26MM to save face with a population that wouldn't stand for devaluing education in our community. He is nothing more than a spineless politician, playing both sides of the fence. Lapdogs like you and CK eat it up, so his mission is accomplished.

I DID prove my point, with a direct quote from your article. lol, indeed!
It was the THIRD post in the thread. You've been dodging since then...

Uhhhh, no......fail. I haven't dodged anything. You have used the word "perhaps" several times in this thread. You have only posted your opinion
which you are entitled to do but you have not proved incorrect the original
story. Personal opinion is not fact nor does it make it so.
What you need to do is contact Pendegraph and ask him to clairfy if you don't understand or believe what he is saying. Period.
