27. absolutely a menace.

i hope the citizens recognize that, and i think they must. look what happened in Wake County, buyers' remorse. they've already put the pain on me because i have a son at ECU. i had to take him out of the dorm and now am supporting him in an apt in Greenville, and that is a hardship. if they get a chance they'll make it much worse.

kind of tragic when you think about NC as such a strong state for education.
