New documents raise questions about âunprecedentedâ contract funded by CARES Act Questions raised over $3.5 million in CARES Act money By Nick Ochsner | April 1, 2021 at 9:38 AM EDT - Updated April 1 at 10:15 AM GREENVILLE, N.C. (WBTV) â A fledgling nonprofit awarded millions of dollars in federal CARES Act money by state lawmakers entered into a contract with a company to provide pre-trial ankle monitoring for domestic violence defendants that the countryâs leading expert on the industry says is far outside the norm. Caitlynâs Courage was organized in October 2019 by Judson Whitehurst, a Greenville businessman, after his daughter was killed in a domestic violence incident.
Thu, 02/04/2021 - 08:39 COMPANY WITH TIES TO TIM MOORE GETS $3.5 MILLION DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONTRACT: Noting Caitlyn’s Courage is a private nonprofit, Judson Whitehurst declined to identify the companies that bid on the project other than to confirm Tarheel won it. There is case law, however, that suggests private nonprofits spending government money on public, governmental purposes would be subject to North Carolina’s public records law. Tarheel Monitoring has two ties to House Speaker Tim Moore, a Cleveland County Republican. The wife of Tarheel Monitoring’s owner has made two campaign contributions to Moore, including $3,000 in June 2019. State records also show Raleigh attorney Gene Davis, a close friend of Moore’s who shares legal clients with him, reported an ownership in an offshoot of the business several years ago.
