First it was the loon toons state of Vermont to fire Jonathan Gruber. Now, it’s North Carolina.
“Gruber’s comment that it was all right to mislead people to get to a desired outcome that he favored led our auditors to determine he had at least the appearance of an independence impairment,” Bill Holmes, a spokesman for the auditor’s office, told WRAL.
Gruber had been hired to study the use of a managed care program in North Carolina, spending about five months analyzing data from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Gruber was also fired earlier this week by Vermont. Officials there said they would not pay him the full $450,000 contract, though they expected him to finish the work. Gruber has also received nearly $480,000 as an adviser in Michigan, where legislators pledged to investigate his work there.
