FILE - North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper greets people, Oct. 3, 2024, in Boone, N.C., in the aftermath of hurricane Helene. FILE - Laura Hogshead, director of the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency, answers questions from lawmakers about delays in the state's hurricane recovery efforts during a hearing at the Legislative Building in Raleigh, N.C., Dec. 14, 2022.
Taking Hogshead's place in the interim is Pryor Gibson, a legislative lobbyist for Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and a former state representative. He was also questioned alongside Hogshead on Monday by state legislators on the office's budgetary problems., also known as ReBuild NC, as a way to improve infrastructure in eastern North Carolina after it was hit by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018 — the two storms the office has been plagued by criticism for.
During Monday’s hearing, Hogshead admitted fault in some of the office’s budget issues, such as keeping up with encumbrances — commitments to pay for future services like contracted work. She told the panel she “should have been watching more carefully.”
