Vonna Viglione: Arrogant arrangement

Regarding the Aug. 13 news article “Probe seeking North Carolina health agency documents closed”: I am sure Dr. Aldana Vos is breathing easier now that the federal prosecutors say that she is not guilty of illegal conduct. However, in the court of public opinion, using public funds for these particular non-bid contracts stands as an egregious example of overreach and partisan entitlement. Arrogant, but not illegal. We need some better contracting guidelines if these arrangements “pass muster.”
