The residents of Washington have been ill served by their representatives for a long time. From beginning to end the scoundrels are cashing out.

What we want out of the legislature is conservative policy. We get that by electing people who vote conservative principles in Raleigh. We DON'T get it by electing the placeman of the biggest establishment liberal RINO goober in Raleigh, Phil Berger and his anti-gun sidekick Jimmy Dixon. Policy matters a whole lot more than someone's hurt feelings over something.

Nick Fritz is spot on, and I am proud and most honored to have had the opportunity help on his most successful campaign.

Now, We, the People, can right this long listing ship, which is the City of Washington government, and turn it, post haste, 180 degrees around.

Richard, at least in America (so far) you can still call a politician an "idiot" and get away with it. They are arresting people in Germany for that and I am sure some of the ilbs here would like to do the same.

However, you are spot on as to what we have in our current city government and city manager. This is, after all, the same city manager who proposed the budget with the huge tax increase, and then lied to the taxpayers by claiming it was not a tax increase. The dude should not get a nickle in severance after what he has done to our taxpayers.

I don't agree with the philosophies of State politics outweighing local politics and supporting someone, like Kidwell, just because the "Berger Boys" or whoever's boys are going after him. The days of pullin' fer somebody "just because they's Republican" has gotten us a**holes like Kidwell....and he knows it. His career thrives on the uniformed continually doing this over and over again.

The younger-middle aged conservative will not put up with some of the crap the older heads keep trying to pull because they view ANY kind of change as bad. Trump is finding this out, and others will too if they keep trying to play "politics as usual."

This upcoming cycle is going to be a huge indicator of the discourse within the GOP if we don't start putting foot to ass and holding people accountable.

I find it very alarming that our Executive Committee is in the dark. That ain't good.

Concerned Taxpayer: The problem with these types of contracts in Beaufort County is that Democratic socialists, and RINOs, who swap votes to share power, those who work-hand-in-iron-glove with bureaucrats to forge these documents, which may not be legitimate politically at the least, and legally at the worst.

At what point can one governing board obligate a new governing board, and be clear of the legal fall-out? This is a most fair question since this is the People's government and the People's money to fund it.

RINO Hunter: One of the largest understandings that I have gained from 25 years as a county commissioner is that corrupt practices lead to corrupt governing, which eventually leads to abject winners and losers, where the public's treasury, taken and re-distributed, was never the politicians' charge to do so if there was NO fiduciary commitment within that process of allocation.

Additionally, once there is discovery of a pattern of corrupt practices leading to great damage to the People, then the People have many avenues of recourse, as they should; many of which are political, some are judicial.

Washingtonian: I am just now re-considering the elements of that impropriety of the procedure to punish me by denying me my civic rights ... this Conservative political activist, who acts with great consistency ... Stan Deatherage.

A judicial coup should be treated the same way as a military coup, those involved should be arrested and tried before a military court. Lincoln used military courts for a lot more than military cases, and we need to do so today as well. There is too much political corruption in our federal court system to trust it at all.

Stan, perhaps you would consider expanding that lawsuit into a class action lawsuit. Likely many in Washington would be raising their hand to join you.
I'm thinking that Mayor Brabo's attorney would be a proven choice. Maybe not? Has that case been in front of a Judge yet? Where is it heading? Inquiring minds want to know.

One more thing Bubba: I have talked to Lawyer Rader about doing some suing myself regarding some serious premeditated malfeasance that was fraught with all grades of incompetence.

Now that I see a political trend evolving with the City of Washington to reward some, while punishing others, it looks my case could be known as what some refer to as a SLAM DUNK.

This scandal has the strong odor of a criminal conspiracy. Maybe they all could be prosecuted under RICO? This same cast of characters just slammed us with a huge tax increase and now they want to give a payout to the stinking bureaucrat largely responsible?
