Do you think that the county Board of Commissioners should reduce their discretionary fund from the $40,000 a year that each now has to distribute without a vote from the board, or eliminate it?
“Eliminate it. They don’t need that much money to do whatever they want with.”
— Leslie Bowen, Tar Heel
“I think they should keep it. It could be helpful as long as they don’t misuse the money and use it to help people — a lot of people need help.”
— Terria Dent, Fairmont
“Do they have receipts? …It seems like I could take 40 grand and stretch it a lot further than they could.”
— James Leggett, Fairmont
“It should be cut back, because judging from what each one of them has got so far, they’re not using it.”
— Brent Locklear, Lumberton
“I feel it should not be cut back. They should have the money to use as they see fit because they are elected officials. They should have the right to have $40,000 as long as it’s used for the good of the people in the area for which they represent.”
— Dr. Bob Brayboy, Lumberton
