Commented on What is fiscal responsibility and transparency?Unfortunately, there seem to be too many Michaels in the general population. They just don't know what they don't know. It kind of makes me want to rethink the poll test route.

In a political sense, when all of a political party's politicians are either ignorantly dishonest; or Leftist Traitors, i.e., the Traitor Joe administration; and complete corruption is your party platform, there tends to no foothold left for normal people.

Commented on What is fiscal responsibility and transparency?This Michael dude is totally clueless about tax rates after a revaluation. To keep taxes the same, OF COURSE the rate would go down. The state calculates a "revenue neutral" rate that would generate the same amount of taxes. If a local government adopts a rate higher than the revenue neutral rate, it is a tax INCREASE even though the rate is still less than the previous year. To determine if there is a tax increase or not, the point of reference after a revaluation is NOT the previous year's rate but the revenue neutral rate.
The county taxed this year at the revenue netural rate. The city of Washington taxed 28% OVER the revenue neutral rate. That is a 28% tax INCREASE and it is outrageous. Maybe this lack of knowlege by Michael indicates that there needs to be more voter / taxpayer education on this subject.

Commented on What is fiscal responsibility and transparency?Please.......change your strategy here, man. This is like watching the grass grow.
I'm seeing a lot of numbers here but I ain't reading any actual solutions that are coming from you. Call it like it is and let the cards falls wherever. The voter recognizes that more than acronyms and figures that are based off of bulls*** numbers THEY, the Farrahkrat Uniparty, have put out. Why do think Trump has been so effective with communication? He talks to CEOs the same same way he talks to a group of job-site supervisors....in plain English. Everyone's on the same level.

Any illegal alien in a western country should be prohibited from sexual harassment of anyone, and if they do it, they should be immediately deported. There are way too many rapes and sexual assaults by illegal aliens and that needs to be stopped.

I recorded a Ray Whitley song (called "Let's Try Something New") around 1967 or so with Ray as our producer at the classic "Old Schoolhouse" studio in Brookhaven community where most of the Atlanta recorded hits of the 1960's were recorded (including the Tams hits) I really enjoyed that session and was sad to hear of Ray's passing.

This young girl should be given a medal. It is the illegal aliens who were sexually harassing the two young girls who should have all been arrested and immediately deported.

The Democratic Socialists have begun to call all of this the "Trump Retribution Campaign."
Call this what ever one wishes, but it has been a long time coming, and no longer shall the Non Patriot Left continue to steal from the American People, while jailing those who they view as political rivals.

Illegal immigration is becoming the top issue across the western world. People do not want their countries overrun by these invaders. Many European countries have it even worse than the US. Farage is one of the heroes in the fight against this invasion.

Our taxpayers should NOT be having to subsidize those in our county illegally through welfare. All we should give them is a plane ticket home. I hope President Trump will audit those states with these waivers and try to claw back the American taxpayer dollars they have squandered on illegal welfare for illegal aliens.

Commented on Is it Management or Education?John Valley: At the latest NCACC Annual Conference, one of the sessions was 'how new schools made for better students.'
I learn so much from these annual conferences, when I have the time to attend, about what NOT to do as a county commissioner, and how to better consider what an innovative elected official should rather concern themselves with. I go to these conferences to study why so many elected local officials embrace massively inefficient governing practices in their joint effort to celebrate the boldly ineffective bureaucrat(s). It is an ongoing study for me.

Mr. Trump is purely authentic as depicted in that very statement on his hard fought struggle to enter Heaven's Pearly Gates, and my oh my, there are still so many people who despise authentic in real people.
This is a frightening truth, and a sad statement on our current society ... God help us all and always.

Commented on Sharon Elizabeth Cox SingletonI am so sorry for Beaufort County's loss of former county clerk, JoJo Singleton. JoJo was a lioness, who commanded and deserved the friendship and respect of every county employee, who came into contact with County Clerk Singleton, or needed her services; i.e., the county commissioners.
Simply stated, JoJo Singleton, Clerk to the Board of Beaufort County Commissioners, was one of the small handful of the easiest appointments I have ever made, and I did my good part in that appointment many times. Knowing JoJo enriched my county commissioner life when she was Clerk to the Board, and I remember her in such kindness now.

Democratic Socialist Judges are either towing the pathetic party line for cocktail party purposes, or hewing political careers out of the Non Patriot wooden wall of the Democratic Socialist Party.

These out of control Obama and Biden district court judges are playing politics with their unelected politically appointed and unaccountable positions and in doing so they are a threat to democracy. There has to be some effective way to cut them down to size. Our founding fathers openly said the courts were supposed to be the weakest branch of government, but tyrannical leftwing judges are trying to make them the most powerful. Andrew Jackson openly told them he would ignore their rulings. Lincoln did so too, but also took away one of their powers, habeas corpus, and on one occasion issued an order for the arrest of a very senior judge. Maybe that is the way these out of control courts need to be dealt with these days.

Commented on Is it Management or Education?Corrupt politicians not only take away the People's wealth, they take away the People's hope; they take away our confidence in a Good System forged by our Founders, long before the Non Patriot Leftists sought to destroy it all.
Washingtonian: You make good points; I knew what you meant. I was using you as a perfect pivot in my debate on the issue of corruption, which folks like Big Bob 2.0 are much in favor of; the entire current Democratic Socialist party is completely built upon abject corruption.

Commented on Is it Management or Education?Stan, I only used the term "old" men because BB did.
I am fully aware that corrupt people come in all ages, races, genders AND political affiliations. I just want those "workers of the system" to know that when you work the system, to your favor, or for the favor of friends, YOU are TAKING AWAY from the rest of the people. Cheaters are stealing from the well-being of the people of the community, as a whole. Its criminal. Voters get the Govt they deserve. Dear Voters please remember, its in a politician's genes to make you like him. Dont be a useful idiot.
