Correction · April 7, 2026

An earlier report stated that the Wake County Commissioner described the budget proposal as 'fiscally responsible.' The Commissioner used the phrase 'fiscally responsible' but was referring to a different proposal. The original proposal was described as 'bold.' We regret that we cannot identify which proposal is which at this time.

Correction · April 3, 2026

Ungrammared has never reported on the Raleigh Belt Line Trail. A correction published April 1 stated that we had. That correction was itself incorrect. We are looking into it.
