When the school Admin asked for more of our money for playground equipment, no one told us what kind of equipment they would buy.
I say all that is needed is a wide assortment of balls, jump ropes, some organized games, maybe some hula-hoops, and the game hopscotch, drawn in the dirt. AND, while speaking of dirt, maybe a huge pile of it so they can play king of the hill.
A study was done about what kids w TV wanted for Christmas and what those w/out TV wanted. Those w TV wanted expensive toys & gadgets, while those w/out TV just wanted simple things like crayons and a
coloring book.
Which child is more healthy?
Some Govt folks just like to spend our money! Easy come, easy go!

TO: Lie be told and Bath maggot, Let me know when you want to debate me in public. I will take on both of you at the same time and you can name the subject of the debate at the beginning of he debate.

I am very confident of winning because all you present is disrespect and lies.

I have put the Limited Voting issue back on the agenda for the next general meeting.

This will be my top issue until this continuing conundrum of culpability finds a proper solution, and that solution is more and better representation for this self-governed county on the board of their local, most important government - the Beaufort County Commissioners.

Well we knew there would be more lies! Let’s talk about you and defaming the military on the communist holiday! Let discuss how you had $32k of sales tax money not lottery. You are so ignorant you cannot get out of your way! Vote you both out

Befuddled, you are correct that most of those "wood waste" so-called "renewable energy" plabnts actually burn whole trees. That leads to deforestation, and actually produces more CO2 than burning coal.

It is not just such plants located here. North Carolina trees are being cut down, ground up, and made into wood pelets which are shipped out through Morehead City, to be used in "wood waste" electric plants in Europe.

Washingtonian: The shit is rolling downhill and fast, ain't it? This is just one of many instances but, as seen in Martin County last week, parents are getting extremely pissed off about school consolidation. While the Martin County School board openly admitted to students leaving their mainstream public schools in droves, they "forgot" to mention the influx of students being enrolled in BGCS...the competition. I see a pattern here.

Though Beaufort County has yet to openly admit what most already know: we are becoming a Sanctuary School System which is why students are going elsewhere outside of the County. Washington Montessori isn't keeping people here either. Bath Elementary and Chocowinity Primary are the only bastions of hope left BUT they can't hold out forever....unless they think ahead.

Forcing everyone into the Cities so the Countryside can be "developed" and pillaged isn't going to go over well. BOCO is being setup for Carpetbaggers and hook-noses...

I see a pattern

Georgia voters need to turn out to Dump Dooley the Dork the same way they turned out to dump Cassidy the Conman in Louisiana.

Bubba, not 4...5!
Tandy Dunn voted to hire the part-time city manager, tho this time, Booth didnt.

Our elected officials, are members of the bureaucratic machine.
You know this when u see an employee talking smack to a sitting Commissioner (Hood).

Don’t worry. Just look at the super brilliance that we have on our City, County and School boards. We can count on higher taxes, more misplaced spending, Schools that are turning out students that cannot sign their name, read a ruler and rate 30% at reading level and a hospital that does not do MRI’s on Saturday (Don’t have an accident on the weekend) and you can lie in the hall for up to 8 hours to see a doctor or get a bed (I did). While 18 miles away there is a town that is running over with industry and growth. We should be the bedroom community for Greenville if we had a school system. And what happened to the 30-mil spent at the airport to make us the Drone Development center for the East Coast? Guess I’m getting too old to keep up with all this stuff.

Here's another one/ The Attorney General of North Carolina is paid $168K. Should we pay a Beaufort County manager tens of thousands of dollars MORE than that? The AG has to have a LAW degree which is a higher degree than a pathetic Masters of Public administration.

For Randy Walker and Frankie Waters, they are both really still Democrats, and liberal ones at that. You can easily see it in the way they vote on the county commission. This is just the latest example. They are as phony as a three peso bill. Frankie Waters is not running again and will soon be gone, thank God, but we need to give Walker his walking papers in the 2028 primary. He is a FAKE "Republican" and always has been. Whether one calls him a RINO, a Biden Republican, an Undocumented Democrat, or a Benedict Arnold Republican, he is a back stabber and a traitor. He has betrayed the voters of Beaufort County by voting to keep the crooked limited voting scam.
