This town ain't wuffa sheet.
The bureaucracy is going to rally behind whichever gestapo groups will back them. This Govt is not here for us. It's here for itself. Perreault tells us we should be grateful to the employees. Well I say they don't work for us, they work for the CityManager. It's a sad day in the world if we now have to give thanks & bonus points to someone who does the RightThing, over the lazy/selfish/biased thing. I expect excellence!

Taxpayers need to show up at both the city and county hearings on the budget / taxes. On the city council, we have two who promised us, and they need to be held to their promises. Did Brabo ever make a promise? On the county commission, we have three who vote for the taxpayers and four who have nothing but contempt for taxpayers - Rliberal RINOs andy Walker and Frankie Waters, and the two Democrats
What was done to take Nick Fritz off the board should shock the community to turn deciseviely against those responsible..

The A-holes wont even return phone calls or emails!
What they want from the constituents is to butt-out, except when the tax bill comes due. They want our $$ but not us. The county is better than the City but still not good. I recall Randy Walker saying they had a hearing on taxes and no one showed up. Well, its not hard to learn that WeThePpl will be ignored regardless. I'm not going to beg them to practice good govt. I'm fed up with all of them, why do they circle the wagons against us? So when we contact a U.S. Senator, we understand they are probably really busy...but what is the excuse for the officials of a town of less than 10,000.

Washingtonian, The thug-ocracy around Sadler and Tyre has made this town a pint-sized banana republic. Their goon squad sent to intimidate the customers and employees of Fritz' restaurant and then to go to Fritz' home in Smallwood to threaten his family was reprehensible. Their campaign on the internet to intimidate Joe Davis is reprehensible. It is still unclear what their approach to Perrault may be. They are trying to marginalize Brabo.
Citizens need to rally around the elected officials not subservient to Sadler and Tyre. We need an end to this era of dirty local politics.

That Sadler / Tyre political machine seems to be a blend of Tammany Hall and the Black Panthers, both crooked and vicious.

The Sadler clique seems to be going after those who won the 2025 city election. What they did to Nick Fritz is appalling. They are also clearly targeting Joe Davis in a different way. One wonders what cards they have played with Perrault to get him to participate in the attacks on Joe Davis? Brabo, Davis, and Parrault are all on the target list of this power mad group, and if they are smart they will all comprehend that they need to hang together so that they will not hang separately. The first part of that is for Perrault to recognize that he needs to get off of Tyre's bandwagon. They want to end his political career as much as they do those of Fritz, Davis, and Brabo.

"The Shadow," What do yu think we can do about it? From where I'm
sitting, it appears to me that the majority of the commenters on Beaufort County NOw, would rather talk about one of the other 50 states, DC, or even a foreign nation. The Cabal is currently trying to destroy Davis. Why? I guess because he wont obey.

Someone posted that the pressure on Nick Fritz was a possible boycott of his business, It was worse, a lot worse. It reflects the thug-ocracy Washington lived under until last December and that wants to come back to power in the worst way.
What happened at Fritz' restaurant was that some thugs showed up to harass customers. They were big burly guys of the same ethnicity as Sadler and Tyre. At first they just hung out in front of the restaurant intimidating customers. Then they started coming inside, raising a ruckus, and harassing his employees as well as customers. What could Fritz do? If he took any action, they would undoubtedly scream "racism". Anything he did would hurt his business. Then, it got worse, the same thugs started threatening his family. No elected official signs up for that kind of treatment. The head thug now seems to have left town, probably using his intimidation tactics on someone else. Washington has lost one of its best council members in some time.

Mr. Wyman's silence on taxes and spending is deafening. That is a huge red flag. We need someone taxpayers can count on, and that is Tex Melton.

It is inconceivable to me that our local governments do not seek applicants for top management positions from the private sector. When I served in the Jim Martin administration in state government, almost all of our top management personal got their management experience in the private sector, NOT the public sector, and it worked fine. The bigger the pool of applicants for a local management job, the more choices the governing body has.

So, Beaufort County has a NEW County Manager!
www.thewashingtondailynews.com Its Tim Corley...who will continue to live in Pitt County, and keep working at a second job. Dont we deserve more? ...at last he didnt come from the DOT. Meanwhile back at the Washington battle stations on Facebook, the key-board warriors have posted a petition to remove duly elected councilman Joe Davis. At this point he must be beginning to feel like DonaldTrump, a man with a bloody target on his back. If anyone here starts to feel sorry for their selves, just look around at some of our folks who have real trials to bear. If that's not your cup of tea, look at the victimized citizens of North Korea, who are 10 inches shorter than those in South Korea, but are brained washed to sincerely believe they have a REALLY GREAT life thanks to the "Dear Leader."

I think Mr. Melton should be considered for the city council post. But with all due respect for Mr. Melton, I think Mrs. Clark was the next highest vote getter in the recent election.

On the subject of Mansions paying for their selves...
We all know that Kings and Queens and Nobles of Europe had to open up their Mansions and Castles to tourist to help pay for their upkeep. It is known history that those Nobles of Europe often resorted to marrying the daughters of fabulously wealthy men of America. You do what you have to do. Compromise. The question to Washington, is do yu want these beautiful old Mansions of Washington to survive or not? They can pay for themselves if we let them. Mr Rorie should assist the City govt and its citizens to try thinking "out of the box." The elitist of Washington, should try living on my street for a few days. I have to tolerate PROGRESS, they should too.

The one who has public credibility and moral authority to fill the vacancy is the top candidate from November who campaigned on the same agenda as Nick Fritz, and that is Tex Melton. If Wyman wanted to be on the council, he should have run then. It is immoral and a slap in the face of the voters to put him in instead of elevated Melton.

Nick Fritz was ready to rip the bandaid off the waste, the corruption, and the abject governmental ignorance that has haunted the City of Washington for decades.
Roland, are you going to be that guy? Can you supplant Nick and fend off the Leftist fools, who sincerely struggle with reality? We need what is real running the City of Washington, because that quality has been sorely lacking for far too long.

Mr. Wyman, the biggest issue for most citizens is cutting spending and taxes. We have been gouged by the Sadler regime and we need a change. I notice that you do not address taxes and spending and that concerns me. I concur about the importance of our 2nd Amendment rights, but I have seen too many liberals try to wrap themselves around that while supporting the rest of the liberal agenda.

If Washington is a City of Hate, when/how did that happen?
Was it always here? Did the internet reveal it,or did Facebook. Facebook made it possible for birds of a feather to spread their gossip for good or bad. People living in a bubble can become very self-righteous. Why are old people, who r growing older, so upset about a glorious celebration of young people getting married, who may decide to settle down in Washington? Does that really make them miserable to witness? I say live and let live. Show a little humanity. Maybe compromise a little. Maybe one week day event and one weekend event would be fair? If some of these ppl would take a look at the conditions some of us have to accept surrounding our homes they would be ashamed of themselves for being so stingy. If these beautiful vintage homes cant b maintained then what? A future ghetto? Its possible u know...Washington isnt growing...but a welcoming attitude might b the cure. Hey City Manager, can u explain reality to th crabs.

I'm Roland Wyman. Someone mentioned me in one or two comments. Sorry I gave the wrong impression, but I AM NOT a Liberal... far from it. I was not part of the Sadler group and further, I was not even involved in government during his tenure. The only reason I am not a registered Republican is that there are aspects of their national platform that I don't agree with. There is nothing about Liberals that I agree with. I just wanted to set the record straight. I hold the Constitution dear and fought for it during the late '60s. I believe strtongly in 2A. I was a marksman and I have carried concealed since leaving the military.

When Perrault ran for council, he told us he was on the tax cut team. Now he seems to have switched teams to the tax-and-spend team, coached by Comrade Tyre. If Perrault is to have any future credibility, he needs a quick course correction back to the course he assured voters he would take. He has been lambasting his own team mate while buddying up to the coach of the opposing team. Can he spell B-E-N-E-D-I-C-T A-R-N-O-L-D ?

We can't trust Perrault. He has become little more than Tyre's poodle.

Well I watched the City Council meeting Monday. Every miserable torturous minute of it. Its like being waterboarded for hours.
Worse yet, I am totally FED UP with Horton and Perreault huddled-up throwing all-knowing eyes at each other, Perreault eyeballing his favorite supporter in the audience, & furthermore, the both of them sharing glances, nods, eyerolling, smirking, & sighing every time Davis speaks. Brabo should try looking to her left because those two are chatting and carrying on like two fifth graders sitting in the back of the room, mocking their teacher (Davis). I am witnessing the kind of petty sick hate for a fellow ELECTED member, that I never thought I would see from those Council chairs. ALL citizens should watch it! Try Youtube. HOW Embarrassing for ALL Washington Citizens. When did we become the City of Hate?
