Gov. Bev Perdue recently announced how $466 million in federal stimulus funds will be spent on transportation projects in North Carolina.

Part of the money will go to a road widening project near the Global TransPark in Kinston.

Meanwhile, an audit in early 2008 showed that the TransPark might go bankrupt. Yes, our leaders might think stimulus dollars are “free money,” but shouldn’t they at least avoid pouring it into a failed proposition?
