Another notable quote, this time in the Winston-Salem Journal front-pager on underground contamination found on the site of Winston-Salem /Forsyth County Schools’ proposed $15 million middle school for special needs kids:

Don Martin, a newly elected commissioner who was the school district’s superintendent for 19 years, said he doesn’t remember specifics about the environmental concerns on the site but is confident it is safe.

“I just know that whatever we were supposed to do, we did,” said Martin, who is vice chairman of the board of commissioners. “I don’t remember the details, but the tests were within whatever tolerance levels were safe.”

This news will certainly slow down the fast track funding WSFCS was seeking.
