THe big problem is we have had a school board majority that just rubberstamp what their liberal superintendant proposes, and never bothers to look into anything themselves. Here we have seen the total management incompetence of that superintendant. His bungling has given the school board itself a black eye. Why did no one know when they proposed this plan that the city owned four acres of the land? Why did no one have a professional appraisial done on its value instead of having a totally unqualified person, the superintendant, just guess at its value? And will this puppet school board give their superintendant a raise again after this fiasco? Will they extend his contract? THey shouldn't if they are going to represent the people of Beaufort County.

Beaufort County's Commissioners are politically subservient to the Center-Left Coalition, a bipartisan majority that swaps votes in a willy-nilly manner to share power, regardless of the cost to Beaufort County's Tax Payers.
This sophistic voting pattern by the Center-Left Coalition, membered by two Democratic Socialists and two RINOs, is that this voting block has been a political cancer upon the leadership of the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners for decades. Their collective depth of knowledge when it come to governing is an inch deep and a mile wide. What is incredible here, regarding the RINOs working closely with the Democratic Socialists here in Beaufort County, is that they have the full support of the Beaufort County GOP.

Why it is not a conflict of interest for these husband-wife teams screwing the taxpayers? What is their agenda? What they have done makes no sense whatsoever.

There seems to be lots of cart before the horse planning on this project. Also, lots of interesting interplay between three boards and husband and wife board connections. Many folks I talk with aren't understanding much of this and are wanting more transparency. I guess that's not the Beaufort County way. I suppose we can expect more delays, more cost along the way, and more ongoing side deals.

What a disgusting boondoggle. THese spendthrifts are Biden on the Pamlico. What is disgusting is those who claim - falsely - to be Republican. They are Democrats in Drag.

It is a lot to digest in one sitting, but I wonder if we should help them understand that bussing means K students (5 years old) will be riding on their own on a bus. The oldest child will be 8 or 9 years old. Will a five-year-old get off of the bus and run out in the street?
