Schools and healthcare funding are the two largest budget items for the NC legislature, they should be aggressively audited.

The fact his office's audit shows less than 5000 students at UNC-Asheville with tuition only contributing 8% to the school's revenue is a big red flag. The school is a taxpayer subsidized albatross. But you have to dig through the audit to see that. It shouldn't be that hard to see waste. It needs to be more prominent.

I would also like to see a full scale audit on state sponsored higher education from the NC Legislature all the way to each school to the student. I believe it would cause the collapse of several schools.

Another in-depth audit into the NC medical board to see where Medicaid is spent and how is also important. There hasn't been one since 2023-before Medicaid Expansion really hit.

We need to stay aggressive on auditing where taxpayer money is going.

Waste not, want not.

I'd really like to see the Mining Commission and the Raleigh-Durham Airport audited. There is fraud in there somewhere with Wake Stone / aka Vulcan Materials.
