Statement Regarding City of Asheboro's Misuse of COVID Relief Funds

Writer's picture: Clayton BallentineClayton Ballentine

Today I received a letter from Asheboro City Manager John Ogburn. The city received over $8 million dollars in COVID relief funds. These funds could have been used to pay for better schools, better roads, add additional funds to the underfunded Asheboro Police Department, or even to help struggling small businesses in Asheboro.


Instead city leaders decided to use the funds to pay for glorified soccer fields close to the North Carolina Zoo. This is not fiscal responsibility. This is the definition of government waste.


This continues the long pattern of government waste and irresponsibility shown by our city leaders.
