When you sell a bond, which we did, one of the ways that you can get a lower interest rate is you sell it and the bond buyers will actually pay you what’s called a bond premium. So what happened? Finally, in 2018, they figured out they needed to build an elementary school, and then three more elementary schools, and then a gymnasium in North Moore, and all of this stuff, and the bottom line is they went to the voters and the voters gave them a quarter-cent in sales tax, then they gave them a bond issue of $103 (million) for just the schools, and I’ll tell you about that. We were ready to build an elementary school. “We knew they needed seats (more classrooms) at Farm Life and Vass. All they were fixated on was the Advanced Career Center at Sandhills (Community College). “In 2016 we had a plan to build three schools,” he said.
Picerno has been around long enough to know that there is an insatiable appetite for funding requests by the the school board, even when there already is money in the coffers. When will the school board tell us how it will spend the $19 million? It did not come up during the April 11 Board of Education meeting. Against that backdrop, the school board is asking for a $7.7 million increase in its 2022-23 budget, 19.4 percent. It’s in excess of $33 million.” He also knows that $19 million has yet to be allocated. Let’s say this, it was substantially more than what the county got.” Show me in a spreadsheet or a financial statement of transactions. A good question for your school board members is, ‘How much did we get? How much did we spend? What did we spend it for?’ Show me that data, and don’t just tell me that data. The Moore County (board of commissioners) is sitting at $19.4 million in COVID relief. “They were very nice printing money and creating hyper-inflation. “Several sources of funding came down from the federal government,” Picerno said during a live radio interview on WEEB on April 7. Picerno is tired of answering to the false narratives that have driven reckless spending during the Wuhan Virus pandemic. The newest member of the Moore County Board of Commissioners - appointed to replace the late Louis Gregory - is also a former two-term commissioner and its chair as recently as 2016. But when he awakens, the nightmares persist. "I am sure it will be resolved and the concentration for Raheem is now on his football and it is clear the terms of when those talks will begin again," Rodgers said recently.Nick Picerno can’t sleep. Rodgers has described the contract that Sterling has rejected as "an incredible deal for a young player", but says he is relaxed about the player's future. "I will definitely give guarantees when the season has finished." "At the end of the season, I just want to sit down with the club and my representatives," he said. The live-wire forward, who can play wide or as a number 10, has been linked with a string of leading clubs in recent weeks but said he would not be discussing his future further until the end of the campaign. "If, at that point in time, I was offered a contract, I most definitely would have signed straight away, probably for far less money than being said now," he said. Sterling, who has scored 10 goals for Liverpool this season, admitted that had he been offered the same terms a year ago, he would probably have agreed to them. He was one of the key players in the team that narrowly missed out on last season's Premier League title and has won 14 England caps, scoring his first international goal in last Friday's 4-0 win over Lithuania. Jamaica-born Sterling joined Liverpool from Queens Park Rangers' youth academy in 2010 and broke into the first team under manager Brendan Rodgers during the 2012-13 season. I want them to understand it's been a bit much for me this season, with everyone talking about it every minute." He added: "I would never want the fans to think bad of me, to think I just want as much money for myself. "I just want to be seen as the kid that loves to play football and wants to do the best for the team." "I don't want to be perceived as a money-grabbing 20-year-old," said Sterling, who is reported to earn around £35,000 per week, in a video interview published on the BBC Sport website. Reports claim that Sterling has turned down a new deal worth around £100,000 ($148,320, 137,710 euros) per week, but he said claims he was holding Liverpool to ransom were wide of the mark.
The 20-year-old England star's future has become the subject of intense speculation in the British media as Liverpool attempt to extend his current contract beyond its 2017 expiry date. Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling rejected suggestions he was "money-grabbing" in an interview aired on Wednesday, after his talks over a new contract hit an impasse.
