An analysis by the Civitas Institute of state government grant oversight shows a need for more transparency, easier access to public records and stricter state and federal laws.
Funding for over 1,000 recipients of North Carolina state grants has been suspended, repeatedly in many cases, mainly for not filing required annual reports of how the money was spent, but many of them still received additional grants. By the time many of the grants were suspended, however, the funds had already been spent with no accounting for how the money was used.
