I see your point RH: Mark Elias was quite successful in the Big Cheat of the 2020 Presidential Election.

I think the only "mark" Little Bobbie hits is probalby Mark Elias, the Democrat election shyster, although that is only by parroting Democrat talking points.

Big Bob: You are a Leftist. Your people have failed this nation, and your personal track record here on this publication is low, at least in the realm of what is real.
Constantly crying "Racist" on nearly every issue is NOT "hitting the mark."

It's because they make it up. Without the outrage of the week, extremism loses relevancy.

Washingtonian: I got the point. But the better point is to demand real transparency from those who would deny it.
Make a salient point to place the bright lamp of truth on those that should be removed from governing by the election process.

How do we get stuck with goofy school board members who are lap puppies for the likes of a Cheeseman? T.W. Allen is by far the worst, but a few others are almost as bad.

You miss the entire point Stan. You, collecting data and providing it to the public will do a great deal of good for the public's benefit. They say daylight is a great disinfectant...but we need that daylight to know the truth, so we can organize to make changes...instead we just continue in the dark, and no one on the Board of Commissioners seems to want to make more than a minimal effort to provide any transparency... or to provide any tools/facts for us to digest, to cause the public to believe any of us have any chance of winning over this cabal in the county.

Washingtonian: I will not ask the Center-Left Coalition, I will ask those bureaucrats that they hire to do their jobs as is their charge a public employees, and if the Center-Left Coalition wishes to stop them from doing their jobs, then that is information the public will have.
You have to understand that this is a public body, and a public body must be forced to act and work for the public. Eventually, I will get the information that is necessary to understand what is real for posterity, but for NOW, me personally collecting data will mean nothing to RINOs and Democratic Socialists, so, I will have to go through the channels, especially since whatever I do NOW will only be for informational purposes since the $500,000.00 has already been wasted by the Center-Left Coalition.

So Commissioner Deatherage, you are saying you wont use your considerable knowledge in Real Estate and Govt, to search through public data bases on behalf of finding answers for the public... you indicate you will only wait until each Commissioner's meeting to ask the "center-left coalition" for answers that you know you'll never get.
How about you, Commissioner Richardson, can you find answers for the public regarding this 4-9 acre boondoggle? Title search? Tax value? Chain of ownership? Isnt it a matter of Public Records? Thank you in advance.

Are all of you aware of the purposed changes to 15th street from Carolina Ave to the Hospital area?
I wonder how that will affect traffic at the new school? Which came first, the new school or this new road construction? www.publicinput.com

Will Simmons: You are right about everything, including the purposeful fact that one with a modicum of forensic evaluating skills could figure all of this chain of title out, including myself, who possesses those skills; however ...
From a political /proper governing sense, I believe it wise take a public request path to see just how far, and how deep the incompetence within two Beaufort County governing boards runs ... with the Beaufort County Commissioners possessing the awesome police power to tax with impunity to use as a balancing agent to assuage their incompetence when it comes to managing the People's money. Simply put, the people, the voters here in Beaufort County need to publicly witness to what level these incompetent politicians /bureaucrats will sink to cover-up their inane inability to exhibit any measure of public wisdom within all matters pertaining to good government. For far too long, I have incredulously witnessed, fist hand, this broad measure of governing incompetence by majority vote. Right now, right blessed NOW, the public needs to WAKE UP, become informed and take the initiative to elect smarter politicians to, by a voting majority, hire far more competent bureaucrats ... not only in Beaufort County, but wherever bad governing in the norm, which is far too wide here where we govern ourselves in this Representative Republic.

Washingtonian: I have sought answers in open session, and I will continue to do so because of the symbolism in this public affair is of such a sorry nature.
Now, as your county commissioner, I will continue to probe for these answers in public because it is such a public affair, and all that needs to be known, needs to be known by all, and it needs to be known publicly, and as much as can be possible by everyone at the same time. This is how I see the political process.

Stan, I am asking you as my County Commissioner and not you as a journalist... What is the Tax value of that 9.5 ac piece of land, from which the 4 ac has been cut from...as shown on the Tax Dept's website here locally. Do this before it is overwritten.
2ndly, how did the 9.5 ac deed go from the hands of the Washington City Schools to the Redevelopment Commission of Washington...and then how did it go from them, to the city of Washington??? AND why does the website showing the History of Ownership show that the City didnt acquire this land until July 2024? Thank you.

Also what about the power substation that is built on that piece of land.
Is the retaining pond to be dug beside the substation? Or will this have to be disassembled and relocated?

This fiasco over the missing 4 acres is a total boondoggle, and the ruling cliques of both the school board and county commission have egg all over their faces. The taxpayers have been hung out to dry. Why delegate all of this power to a superintendant who clearly has no business sense or competence? It will be particularly galling if after this dog and pony show he dares demand a raise or a contract extension.

One can find the deed for this property online thanks to our digital register of deeds.
us5.courthousecomputersystems.com Somewhere, someone, was aware of this issue awhile back. This deed was written back in 1968, but was finally put into effect and uploaded back in July. Effectively redrawing the GIS, splitting the property. It’s just incompetence all the way around. Big Frank told you himself he decided to stay out of it. He would rather let a hired cabbage patch kid superintendent steer the ship, than provide the oversight he was elected to provide. The county commissioners have the power of the purse. Yet they decided to stay out of a land acquisition, handing the wallet and bargaining power to a spending junkie. As far as the land swap aspect of this situation that could have occurred without a monetary cost for the property, the process of contacting all of the heirs of Kugler Field to sign an amendment, was too much of a undertaking, even for Cheese. Simply easier to spend half a million, than to get 20 signatures.

The problem is that the Beaufort County schools have a know-it-all power bully as their superintendant. Cheeseman wants total control and as long as his sock puppets conrol the school board, he will ignore the professionals who should be involved in a project like this and try to do it all himself. That way he does not have to share any portion of power with professionals like attorneys or real estate appraisers. He just does those functions himself although he is not qualified to do them.
When will enough of our school board wake up to snatch the steering wheel out of Cheeseman's incompetent hands? They are supposed to be the boss, but they act like they think the superintendant should be.

I can personally attest that the Beaufort County Commissioners (at least the Real Republicans) had issues with the Center-Left Coalition's lawyer, who did make a dramatic and concerted move to become just their lawyer rather than attorney to the entire board. That sorry situation is a matter of record (and I possess all the sorry details), and there was nothing the more knowledgeable, more experienced commissioners, of far greater integrity, could do about it because of the RINO infestation on the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners.
Considering all the incompetence that is legend on the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners, it has been quite frustrating ... primarily because my intellect does not work well at that lowly scaled level of existence; serving with those who cannot think past the knot of an issue, and, moreover, are better suited at doing what they are told. The School Board problem appears to be just as easily a similar matter of gross administrative incompetence, but until elections yield firmer talent, we are all stuck with these so-called decision makers, errant, indecisive, manipulated. Maybe with the Trump election, and his brilliant mad dash at the onset to govern with abject integrity, I am hopeful that we politicians of the purest integrity, we real Republicans, will now have that strong political wind at our collective backs. We will need, and should welcome all the momentum we can muster.

It seems both the County Commission and the County School Board have some lawyer issues as well as a host of other issues.
