Based in two socialist Latin American countries, a group dedicated to helping indigenous populations in that region just got a generous $13 million grant from the U.S. government to combat “exploitative child labor” in Peru. The allocation comes on the heels of a similar, $10 million grant by the same agency—the Department of Labor (DOL)—to fight child labor in Ethiopia. In that case the African country’s notoriously corrupt government, recently exposed for illicit financial flows in the billions, will likely handle some of Uncle Sam’s money. Corruption, kickbacks and bribery are on the rise in Ethiopia, according to a new report issued this week by a research group that aims to curtail the cross border flow of illegal money.

Council of Governments loses another representative
Today's Sun Journal has an article titled "Council of Governments Loses another Representative." The article states that the Treasure, Mr. Masters, resigned because, "On a professional level, I cannot and will not be associated with any government organization that is so totally unaccountable for taxpayers' funds."
The article goes on to say that March 1 is the deadline for member communities to decide if they want to continue to be involved. The article also says the Mr. Masters owns a "non-profit" organization (read can only pay salaries, not pay out profits, so when income goes up, salaries tend to go up,too) that specializes in writing grants (there is that word I hate) and grant management services for local governments and he is personally involved in "revolving loans." I suspect that his involvement should be carefully scrutinized.
It should be clear to anyone now that Craven County needs to take this opportunity to remove itself from this organization.
