Whatever nefarious thing the Democrats happen to be doing themselves, they have a habit of falsely blaming Republicans for doing it to try to cover their own actions. This "attack on democracy" narrative is just the latest example of it and EFK.Jr. is spot on with his comment.

I want to thank Hood for all he does to protect the local taxpayers from wasteful spending. Its a good trait missing among so many other elected politicians.

I watched this Commissioners meeting, where Hood merely asked for a motion to provide direct hands-on oversight, by the County Commissioners of the budget, the spending, & the construction plans of the new school, so that unlike in the past, we wouldnt wake up one day with vast overspending, because those in charge hadnt provided for the parking lot, furniture and whatever. Isnt this the way a govt ends up with $500 hammers and toilet seats??

WHY WOULD those commissioners other than Stan, vote this motion down? WHY dont they want to protect the local taxpayers?
It sure seems to me that the majority who voted nay, would rather spoon with an alligator than vote for ANYTHING that Hood suggested.

That means that they arent on the side of the citizens, but rather are just shallow, useless, petty, govt pretenders.

Secret meetings. Really? The meeting isn't secret just because you were not invited. My guess, they only invite you when legally required to do so. And that's on you.

What is really behind the drive for this huge new elementary school? It is all about Superintendant Cheeseman and his resume. One hole in Cheeseman's resume for climbing the ladder and becoming superintendant of a bigger, more pretigious, and better paying school district, is his lack of being able to say he built new schools. This is ALL about filling that hole in his resume.

I still will never fathom why any school board would NOT have the good sense to build a 52 million dollar project, at the insane number of $383.00 per square foot, on the highest point of this sprawling tract of land rather than on the lowest.

This is Beaufort County, in eastern North Carolina, and one who allocates the people's money in such vast quantities must be ever mindful of such pesky details.

Wow Hood is at his lies again. I went back to look at the check presented to the boards and the check is for 42 million. I guess since I did not see Hood in the picture he grabbed his number out of the sky! Hood go back and check your school score data. There are 0 F schools and Bath is a B not an A. CPS and Early College are both As! This is nothing but blog post again not a news article!! News is facts not fiction!

Hate speech is real. Enough of us believe it to be so. Enough to make the use of the N word unacceptable. Should you go to jail for using it? No.

However if you use speech to terrorize people, well then maybe you should.

Looks like Bobbie is deflecting again. From the articles in those British papers, this attack on free speech seems geared to protecting sexual deviants. Indeed, there are now British womens lib groups livid over this law because their efforts to protect womens sports and womens spaces from biological men are being suppressed. When do we get to the next step outlined by Orwell in "1984" - the "thought crime"?
