It should not be a surprise to anybody. It has long been known that Columbus county takes care of Whiteville and Tabor City first. The schools and communities on the east and west ends get nothing. With the high minority numbers in the east and west sides, it is strange that the NAACP or the ACLU has not looked into it. It is just business as usual in Whiteville with the good ole' boy network. If you don't believe me, look at the Columbus county government and Columbus county schools and see how many people in the top slots are related....
