Robinson campaign calls North Carolina agency report on wife's nonprofit politically motivated
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A state review’s findings of operating and administrative issues by a nonprofit owned by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s wife while implementing a child care food program “are politically motivated at the core,” Robinson’s campaign said Monday. A compliance review of Balanced Nutrition Inc. by the state’s federally funded Child and Adult Care Food Program released last week found numerous problems that regulators said needed to be corrected by early August. Otherwise, Yolanda Hill, the Balanced Nutrition owner married to Robinson, and the nonprofit could be disqualified from the program going forward. Hill previously announced she was shutting down the nonprofit and it would stop participating in the program after April 30. The review also prompted the state agency to order Balanced Nutrition to repay the state over $132,000 for what it called disallowed expenses reimbursed to child care centers and homes or incurred by the nonprofit while performing its activities. Balanced Nutrition has helped child care centers and homes qualify to participate in the free- and reduced-meal program, filed claims for providers to get reimbursed for meals for enrollees and ensured they followed program requirements.
