The office of Hamilton County’s mayor soon will receive nearly $89,000 in furniture as part of courthouse renovations, and the figure has one state tax organization seeing red.
Mayor Claude Ramsey said the furniture is for any future county executive. It won’t have to be replaced for decades, he and county commissioners said.
The furniture mostly consists of high-end pieces from Councill Contract, a North Carolina company selling furniture to executives.
When the office is ready by August, it will include a nearly $8,000 desk from Councill Contract’s Wall Street collection.
