Washingtonian: I got the point. But the better point is to demand real transparency from those who would deny it.

Make a salient point to place the bright lamp of truth on those that should be removed from governing by the election process.

How do we get stuck with goofy school board members who are lap puppies for the likes of a Cheeseman? T.W. Allen is by far the worst, but a few others are almost as bad.

You miss the entire point Stan. You, collecting data and providing it to the public will do a great deal of good for the public's benefit.
They say daylight is a great disinfectant...but we need that daylight to know the truth, so we can organize to make changes...instead we just continue in the dark, and no one on the Board of Commissioners seems to want to make more than a minimal effort to provide any transparency... or to provide any tools/facts for us to digest, to cause the public to believe any of us have any chance of winning over this cabal in the county.

The whole idea of foreign aid is to help countries that are struggling like those in the Third World, not pushing woke political agendas in a major industrialized western country in Eueope. What USAID was doing in the UK was preposturous. They also sent a big chunk of US taxpayer money to the left leaning BBC which is funded by the British govenrment. Why? They funded a major international censorship organization there. Why? THey are funding illegal immigration into the UK. Why? What if CHina funded illegal immigration into the US?

Good riddance to the politically corrupt USAID.

It is great to have a real president again, one who can communicate without a teleprompter and notes, and can actually answer questions from the media. Joe was a joke, a front man for a secretive politburo which really ran the country, and one that we will probably never know all the details about.

Washingtonian: I will not ask the Center-Left Coalition, I will ask those bureaucrats that they hire to do their jobs as is their charge a public employees, and if the Center-Left Coalition wishes to stop them from doing their jobs, then that is information the public will have.

You have to understand that this is a public body, and a public body must be forced to act and work for the public.

Eventually, I will get the information that is necessary to understand what is real for posterity, but for NOW, me personally collecting data will mean nothing to RINOs and Democratic Socialists, so, I will have to go through the channels, especially since whatever I do NOW will only be for informational purposes since the $500,000.00 has already been wasted by the Center-Left Coalition.

Are all of you aware of the purposed changes to 15th street from Carolina Ave to the Hospital area?
I wonder how that will affect traffic at the new school?
Which came first, the new school or this new road construction?

IT was Biden's insane energy policies that drove inflation so high. Energy is a component of the price of most everything. Trump has reversed those polcies, but the impact of that is hardly instantaneous. Expecting it to be is a leftist scam to set up a straw man to knock down.

And I notice Bobbie has nothing to say about the miserable impact on jobs of the Biden economy.

Apparently, neither is Trump

Will Simmons: You are right about everything, including the purposeful fact that one with a modicum of forensic evaluating skills could figure all of this chain of title out, including myself, who possesses those skills; however ...

From a political /proper governing sense, I believe it wise take a public request path to see just how far, and how deep the incompetence within two Beaufort County governing boards runs ... with the Beaufort County Commissioners possessing the awesome police power to tax with impunity to use as a balancing agent to assuage their incompetence when it comes to managing the People's money.

Simply put, the people, the voters here in Beaufort County need to publicly witness to what level these incompetent politicians /bureaucrats will sink to cover-up their inane inability to exhibit any measure of public wisdom within all matters pertaining to good government.

For far too long, I have incredulously witnessed, fist hand, this broad measure of governing incompetence by majority vote. Right now, right blessed NOW, the public needs to WAKE UP, become informed and take the initiative to elect smarter politicians to, by a voting majority, hire far more competent bureaucrats ... not only in Beaufort County, but wherever bad governing in the norm, which is far too wide here where we govern ourselves in this Representative Republic.
