Friends of Fort Fisher Thank Rep. Justice

From June 11th WECT, Wilmington, NC.

Cannon fire and applause greeted State Representative Carolyn Justice (R-New Hanover County) at Fort Fisher on June 11th. The Friends of Fort Fisher group thanked her efforts in stopping a proposed budget cut of 15% to the NC Department of Cultural Resources which oversees sites around the state, including Fort Fisher.

Had it gone through, eight sites would have closed and six others operations would have been seriously curtailed.

Justice said that it was important to keep history alive.

Thanks Rep. Justice. --Old B-Runner
