Beaufort County Schools are building a new school on the same ground where Eastern Elementary already exists, at a cost of $10,500,000.00 to Beaufort County's Taxpayers. Is this a wise expense of taxpayer dollars at this time?
22.73% Yes, Beaufort County has been awarded a 42 million dollars of grant money from the state of North Carolina (FREE MONEY) to construct school at 3.00 per squ. ft.
65.91% No, this is the wrong time, to build the wrong school, on the wrong placement - its lowest point - of Eastern Elementary's existing location, when community schools work best.
11.36% Why should I care about the public's education?

NC needs a law like Texas and Florida to charge illegal aliens with trespassing simply for being in our state when they are in the country illegally.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental Constitutional right under the First Amendment, also known as a civil right. There is a federal felony statute for conspiring against someone's civil rights. It would seem to me that everyone, in and out of government who is involved in this network conspiring against people's freedom of speech ought to be indicted under that statute and arrested. Someone should suggest that to Pam Bondi.

I agree that Hammonds has been a good sheriff, and Coleman wasn't. We do not need a rerun of the Coleman era. I know some of the Coleman crowd have sour grapes over his loss, but that should not be the basis for another primary.

As an individual, a person has an absolute right to support anyone they want to. However when one is entrusted with a position of leadership in a party organization, if they want to go against that party in a race, they have an ethical obligation to resign from that party post. It is the lack of ethics by Cox in continuing in that position under those circumstances that is very troubling. Our sheriff should be of the highest ethical standards and Cox does not reflect that.

Cox is not the most qualified candidate for Sheriff. In addition to his questionable ethics concerning party disloyalty, he abused his authority while serving as a member of the Beaufort County Sheriff Department when he was employed there. It is easy to see that he is only seeking office for personal gain or other personal reasons. He is not a person of the high moral fiber or character that we expect, not only of our elected officials, but also of the law enforcement officers we count on to keep us safe. That is NOT the type of leadership we need in law enforcement in our county! I would not recommend or endorse him for Sheriff.

South Carolina mandated use of E-Verify for all employers in the state more than a decade ago. Other states such as Florida have also done this. All federal contractors are required to use E-Verify. This system, although imperfect, does a good job in helping employers curb the number of illegals being employed in their respective states and nationwide.

As an Independent, I personally do not care if you are a Democrat or Republican or who you support, Scott Hammonds has been a great sheriff and I will continue to support him! #TEAMHAMMONDS

Also, as Bubba said: "Ernie Coleman was one of the worst sheriffs", if not, the worst in my lifetime that is!

There is a very good reason why someone supporting a Democrat should not be sitting in a Republican Executive Committee meeting. He would have access to senstive informatoin to pass on to the Democrat.Anyone with personal integriy would immediate resign from such an obvious conflict of interest whether the rules allowed it or not. Our sheriff should be someone of unquationable personal integrity and someone who willingly engaged in this conflict of interest just does not qualify. The fact that he did not immediately resign on his own when he started to support the Democrat, but waited to be confronted after that was discovered speaks volumes.
