The only person in the upcoming commission election with a real record on the subject of taxing is Deatherage. Others are just talk, and as we've seen time after time, talk is cheap.

Well said Stan.

Commissioner Richardson has made a salient point in that over-active spending equals over-reactive taxing of the public, and it will never end as long the local GOP coddles RINOs that enact poorly considered policy, while performing limited to NO oversight, when wise budgeting of the public's treasury is incredibly necessary, but never a real consideration for the Beaufort County GOP's favored ambition - enabling the RINO.

Can just any executive order be overturned by an activist Judge?

"Lock them up" would be one response, but in this case all of those rapists should be "fixed" as in the way a male dog is "fixed". That way, they will never rape again, and that would be justice.

CV, I'm a person with a lot of questions.
I believe I recall reading a piece from Fritz (after his resignation) that he supported Sadler and was speaking in his defense. Someone said that they were sure Fritz would vote to replace his seat with Sadler.
These things just dont add up.
I suspect that there is a cabal of cabals in these parts. LOL
Friends will protect friends even when they recognize that their friend is involved in shady things. This leads to our shadow govt.
But, go ahead, please tell me more. Inquiring minds want to know.

Washington is a corrupt mess and needs to be straightened out. Abuse of power is rampant.

CV, I see a pattern, but I'm not sure if th root of abuse is comin from th Sadler Cabal, Kidwell Cabal, Washington Dept head's Cabal, or the Dem Party w its useful idiots. It could b a "union of cabals." When a Dept head says "It means whatever we say it means," u know we hav a citizen abuse problem. When a Council membr says, "if u dont lik th way we do things, hire a lawyer," then u know we hav a citizen abuse problem. When police go & break down an old woman's door on th pretense of doing a welfare check, when all the while all they wanted to do was arrest her for a false "citizen generated" charge (not police generated) where the police lie & deceive th Fire Depts Rescue Squad to go along, then u know that there is a chronic citizen abuse problem locally. On top of all that, we think of th Fire&Rescue as
really good pple, yet NOT ONE of them came back to help that old woman secure her front door. All Council members & committee members
either go along w th tyrants or get abused 2.

Washingtonian, do you see a pattern here? The Sadlaer / Tyre political machine attacks its political opponents by attacking their businesses. They did it to Brabo by using city government powers and then misusing the police to surveil her for political reasons. With Nick Fritz, they sent their goon squad to intimidate the customers and employees of his restaurant. We have a crooked gang with a political stranglehold on our city. It is as bad as if MS13 or Tren de Aragua came to town. Trying to destroy the businesses of political 0ppoents is VERY dirty and despicable politics. They can't attack Joe DDavis' business, so they attack him on Facebook and elsewhere online.

McVey is one of the best Conservative Party members of Parliament on immigration issues. She really tells it like it is. And HOORAY FOR POLAND.

With all of these hearings and investigations and the cry that all will be held accountable and no one is above the law. Show me who has gone to jail.

Its all by design. Its been the Method of Operation by Cartels in Mexico for many decades... they kill the Mayors that dont play along, they kill the journalist that dont play along and they kill the cops that dont play along. Every citizen knows that if they complain, they can become a target. Its why we all use aliaes here.
Every 3rd world strategy that exists to control its people, is taking hold here in the USA. To be very frank, we cant fix NY, or CA or even the USA, but WeThePeople here in Washington might be able to stop the slide into a 3rd world corrupt town if we work together. That means keeping a meticulous watch over what our many town govt's in Beaufort County are doing. We have a sloppy, sloppy govt. Sloppy govts open the door to corruption, and/or HIDES it. Please citizens, use a critical eye and watch, make notes, speak about it.
P.S. I'm betting that the "self-righteous" 25 yr old Perreault is already imagining himself Governor one day.
