Episode Details

North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek just dropped a bombshell report on the stalled Mid-Currituck Bridge Project — nearly $61 million has vanished into thin air, with not a single shovel ever hitting dirt in almost 30 years. Boliek’s blunt message? It’s time for local leaders and residents to finally decide: build it or bury it. Months of digging revealed a lack of decisive state action as the core problem — had a call been made years ago, the money could’ve been spent wisely. Currituck County residents are fed up with the limbo, craving clarity. With a $1.2 billion price tag and only $400 million secured, funding gaps loom until April 2027. Boliek’s report isn’t just an audit — it’s a wake-up call for elected officials to step up and lead, whether that means finishing the bridge or calling it quits for good.
