Beyond the legality of the release of the information, how public funds are spent is core public information. In the social media post, Cooke Seafood, an international, multi-billion dollar corporation, was identified as the single largest recipient of Hurricane Florence assistance monies. Are the taxpayers of North Carolina not entitled to know that Cooke Seafood received over $400,000 in disaster assistance? Surely the Legislature would be interested in a full accounting of how the commercial fishing disaster relief money was spent?
