Gov. Beverly Perdue will hold a workshop on federal stimulus money in Raleigh.

Perdue will speak at 1 p.m. Thursday at Wake Technical Community College as part of a series of workshops on how businesses, government and individuals can access stimulus money.

"North Carolina is set to receive more than $8 billion in federal recovery money, and I intend for our state to not only be prepared to use this money to put our people back to work, but also to spend the money with the utmost accountability and transparency," she said in a statement.

The state's stimulus czar, Dempsey Benton, will lead the two-hour workshop. 

Other workshops will be held on Friday in Wilmington and June 18 in Charlotte. They have previously been held in Winston-Salem, Clyde and Kinston.

Mr. Benton had lots of people from both sides of the idelogical divide mad at him over his mismangement of the State DHHS. Is it possible for him to make millions go to waste like he did in his previous job?
