Should Guilford County taxpayers have to pay what many consider to be bribes
to for-profit entities?

Why would they cite such a number?
Because, for whatever reason, they can't be bothered to check the numbers out for themselves.
It's just another example in the long history of our daily newspaper's nonfeasence.
the numbers they threw out were assinine bubba and need to be called out. For the news and record to spout them out like they did is wrong as well.
