I think the question is, does GC live in the area he wants to represent?

Are we to understand that the Board refuses to even consider having a representative from Hilldale College present their social studies program to replace what was previously selected as Savvas with the Rainbow flag? I was told the Savvas program costs about 400 thousand dollars and the Hillsdale program is free. Until we elected the last three new board members the group was merrily going along with teaching CRT. They finally adopted a watered-down version of resistance. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you for this thoughtful piece providing voters the opportunity to further consider your candidacy. I’ve never liked a martini. Regardless of whatever pretentious flavor is added, it’s just not great. But, what annoys me the most is to see people swirl it as the drink. Like a pot stirrer. Odd. It seems that with polarizing topic, you seem to at the center of it. Like the 2011 umbrella incident, the seniors were recently misled to believe their entire center would be repurposed into a museum rather than just the unutilized portion. Was this simply the spoon taking another turn in a potilcal pot? Again, I appreciate the enlightenment. Your perspective on historical preservative and charitable endeavors is clear. Voters now have to consider if a hyperbolist is any better than an elitist. I don’t expect a response back. As Commissioner Deatherage explained, censorship begins after one post. Such a shame. What is politics without debate? Maybe this can be discussed tonight at dinner?

Poppycock? Haven’t herd that expression in a while. That’s funny. Anywho, support nazi proud girl pigs all you want.

I disagree Big Bob: Ignorant politicians create ignorant bureaucrats, and both do significant damage, all the while patting themselves and each other on the back as to how important they are ... and it is not just the Democratic Socialists that raise my ire, it is, moreover, the RINO class of Republicans (Beaufort County has more than its share) that I have not, and will not tolerate.

My disdain for the RINO is truly well established since it is their patent dishonesty that I absolutely abhor, and have for decades.

So Big Bob, I cannot and will not take my intelligence that you acknowledge that I possess, and diminish it while remaining an honest politician; not by staying quiet when I see such dishonesty and associative ignorance in government. If it is my curse to your ilk that I fully recognize the damage these fools commit upon the rest of us ... the good citizens of these states united ... then I will bear that curse until those good people rally around what is real.

That will happen at some point.

Sen. Perry's worst betrayal of the taxpayers was the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. A few years down the road, when the federal government's promise to cover most of the new cost expires, state taxpayers are going to be taken to the cleaners for this boondoggle. In the meantime, all that extra cost is going out of the taxpayers' other pocket in federal taxes. Taxpayers are being socked for a huge cost either way. And most of the new recipients of this Medicaid welfare have previously had private health plans funded by their employers. The big hospitals want that group shoved onto the taxpayers back because it is a steop toward their socialitic wet dream of single payer health care. Perry just helped shove us farther down that evil road. He needs to be G-O-N-E from politics.

His Green New Deal, is also going to be a nightmare for NC electric ratepayers as this green energy nonsense already is in other countries.

There are many smart democrats and republicans. Being born smart is but one factor regarding ones potential. I would argue trump is smart, but has several major character flaws that make him unfit for office.

From his record, it is easy to see that Perry has no moral or philosophical compass. He is for sale to the highest bidder. That is not what we need in a public official. Time for a change in the '24 primary.

And, Buzz, I think that is CON (certificate of need) rather than COM. It is a insider scheme that helps keep medical bills high and the deep pockets in the medical industroy will fight like hell to keep. Those on the ir payroll like Perry, are what keep our medical bills high.
