Careful on this one. You are correct, citizens have a right to be heard but not the right to grind government to a halt.
I would add, the state does not remove a child" from their parents easily. Get all the facts before you wade in. 99.9999 % of the time the child is/was in danger. Never put politics before the safety of a child. I'm not saying you have, just be careful. Armund Bundy is a cautionary tale.

I have already been criticized by the administration publicly, but far more caustically privately in a closed session meeting - a closed session meeting where this was not the issue that we heard when we were read out of session.
Plus, there is no closed session allowance for dressing down a 7 term county commissioner by administrative staff; that needs to occur in open session where all can see. That is where I feel most comfortable answering all allegations.

Good for you Mr. Deatherage! In Pitt County, at our commissioner's meetings we are "allowed" to address the board for 3 minutes (timed) during our public comments session. Beyond that "allowance," I'm not sure how our protocol works. But to your point, we as citizens, should be able to redress grievances. Citizens are often held CAPTIVE to political protocols and their concerns are pushed aside. That of course happens in Pitt County as well.
