Tyre is a slug who is just trying to protect the sleazy Sadler machine and cover up their sleaze. If he wants to be on a city council, he should run in Greenville, where the condo he owns and lives in is located, not from a fake downtown address in Washington.

Tyre made his motion to the OLD council, which should NOT have had ANY jurisdiction over the agenda of the NEW council. Any objection he had should have been addressed to the new council. That power play stunk. And Tyre himself is a total phony, not really a resident of Washington.

The losers have been trying to stymie the winners of the last election, and this is just their latest ploy. They have slow walked the city audit documents (what are they hiding????) and left the city with no functioning city manager. There are a lot of highly questionable things that need to be looked into, and this bunch is trying to gum up the works to keep those things from being looked into as long as they can.

BUT JS, Tyre is a member of the new council and he says he didnt get a chance to approve the "new agenda." Sooooo, my question is WHO was working with the City Attorney to set up the new agenda?? Who knew about it? Who had the inside scoop, it certainly wasnt Tyre who was also on the new council. So I think for the sake of transparency it is a good thing that this agenda was Erased. The city may have been Saved by Tyre, even if saving us was not part of his plan.
Quite frankly I believe that those in the Washington Govt have been "working the system," to get what they want. Please understand that every time a govt works the system to favor one outcome, they are stepping on the toes of others who perhaps are being hurt by it. Its not good Govt. "Working the system" needs to stop. It leads to
institutionalized corruption.

W: Our local government is like watching re-runs of Mash where Radar O'Reilly keeps getting Colonel Blake's signature for stuff he has no clue of. The local officials have forgotten how to lead.

Polling is similar in most of Europe. Globalist government parties keep letting them in while the people want them OUT. That is what is behind the rise of the populist right anti-immigration parties, which now lead in the polls in multiple countries.

Mark Doane who has been the assistant School Superintendent since 2014 was named Beaufort County's interim Superintendent.
Does anyone know his reputation and character? Perhaps we could keep him full time? Unless he was just a shell, he surely knows the job.

So, a local education bureaucrat in Craven County gets paid more than the NC Governor, a US Senator, and NC Council of State members including the STATE Superintendent of Public Instruction? That is both insane and obscene. It is an absolute taxpayer ripoff.

All I can say is that Craven County's loss (getting Cheeseman) is Beaufort County's gain (getting rid of Cheeseman).

Soo.......how about Cheeseman going to Craven Count??

borderhawk: Confirms what we know. They are race baiters that don't give a lick about the Republic.
