Hey, I’m done paying attention to this story until Gretchen Shappert get off her ass and investigates Charlotte’s moving-and-shaking set for fraud. We are talking about a serial, multi-year effort to confuse and obscure the financial dealings of a non-profit handling millions of dollars a year.

If this were a gas station handling a few thousand in lotto tickets, video poker, Sudafed, or cigarettes Shappert and crew would be all over it, chasing down the money trail. But the tasseled-loafer crowd gets a pass.

My new message to the local Powers That Be: You are not fooling anyone.
