Little Bobbie is what they call a limosine liberal. There are lots of working class people and those on fixed incomes who are struggling to make ends meet, especially after Biden's climate crazy energy policies fueled inflation throughout the economy. Bobbie cares nothing for those people.

We have commissioners who are spendthrifts and that is not good for the taxpayers. The fiasco over that 4 acres that the school superintendant was so utterly incompetent that he did not know the county did not own it, is a case in point.

Mr. Bonney asked the right questions.

I just got my tax reappraisal from Beaufort County government, and if there is a drop in students, why are they raising my taxes for a school that is not needed?

North Carolinians have already seen the price of electricity go up from Phil Berger's NC Green New Deal. Berger is one of those Climate Communists. OUr legislature needs to repeal HB951 but we will need to kick bully Berger out to do it. If we don't, we will see electric rates like Germany and California.

I got my property revaluation last week. Whooo! I can't see the rate being lowered enough to avoid a huge tax increase. I think I've about figured out that somebody is getting free money from me.

What is it with you so-called conservatives hating on education?

The most important issue in America today is that every person, whether a citizen or not, has the opportunity to a perfect public education, and the chance to attend the college or university that they are capable of attending.

New School Buildings make for better students, no matter what the cost to whomever!

Democrats or the Non Patriot Left?

Once again, the Democratic Socialist party proves that there is NO reason for it to exist ... other than to make Real Republicans to look real good to real people, who possess real common sense and a bold streak of patriotic values.

While the present management diddles with lights for the soccer fields and monolith buildings to consolidate schools for less individual help and more discipline problems, what is being done for our under-served students? The ones with 40% to 47% at home with no daddy. The ones that are now four years behind since Covid. I see the foo-foo about buildings but how about this huge segment of children that will drop out as soon as they can? Then back on the street. Learning how to work the system for welfare and missing a life that could have been. What is the plan for this group? Never herd it mentioned at a school board meeting.

I think that's $10 million 500 thousand so far.

I'm really getting the impression that not much effort is being put into addressing county population trends and enrollment choices, and too much effort is being put into procuring education lottery funds for ill thought-out building projects for the consolidation of schools.

Where "Fruit" Loupe got this money to pay an immigration lawyer for illegal aliens needs to be investigated and that funding stopped. If it is the BCCC Foundation, then there needs to be a concerted effort to eliminate its funding if it persists in trying to harbor illegal aliens who should not even be in the country.
