…From Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines, regarding HAWS’ budget gap:

“The city’s budget is extraordinarily tight, and we don’t have any excess funds right now,” he said.

Even if the city had available cash, it might be inappropriate for the city to use its money to fix a federal problem, Joines said.

Meanwhile, all’s quiet at the taxpayer-funded stadium construction site, and it’s not due to the July 4th holiday.
