I don't think any of this is true.

Thank you for your sensible approach. What was wrong was to come with accusations of a crime when in reality Mr Richardson brings his personal vendetta into the Commissioners chamber where it doesn’t belong.

Situations such as this begs the age old question: Which came first, the ignorant, corrupt, non patriot Leftist president; or, the ignorant, corrupt, non patriot Leftist staff /administration; of which White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is seamlessly integral?

The DOJ is a politically corrupt body pushing a far left political agenda. When President Trump returns, he needs to clean out this rats nest by firing the lot of them and hiring people who will not play leftwing politics with their positions. Merrick Garland and perhaps a few others should be indicted.

I think Hood Richardson should apologize to Carolyn Garris and the hardworking woman at the Register of Deeds. This needs to be public ally done as was his accusation.

I just want to comment that I think it's great that commissioner Deatherage and register of the Deeds Carolyn Garris are willing to meet together and come up with a solution. It speaks to both of your character. I also want to comment to Big Bob that I'm not a boomer so Boomers aren't the only ones that like paper.

THis bill is a great idea but the Democrats have the votes to stop it, unfortunately. I wish states could deport illegal aliens. Deportation is cheaper than paying them welfare and having them mooch off of our hospitals and schools.

Carolyn Garris: By your words here, I reckon Beaufort County Commissioner Richardson had it all wrong.

It would have been well received then if a member of the bureaucratic staff had corrected any error in his information, as was conveyed Monday night.

I'll try to come by next week so you can show me how the hard copies are handled. I was deeply under the impression that the hard copies were still being made, kept and catalogued, and then, Monday night, I was somewhat taken aback when Commissioner Richardson was NOT roundly disabused of his allegations by the aforementioned staff.

As someone who understands Real Estate here in North Carolina, as well understands governing here in North Carolina, I was doubly shocked that Beaufort County would be in such a tenuous, undefendable position, in regards to provable title as a "Race to Record State", should there ever be an EMP burst by man's hand, or a massive and deadly solar flare by an act of God.

And then there is also the hacking by foreign agents, etc.

Thank-you for taking this time to assuage me from these terrible fears.

Recommended/Unfunded (Presented by Jennifer Whitehurst during the 2018-2019 budget year)

Project Description/Justification:
The Beaufort County Register of Deeds Office is rapidly outgrowing the current location. A new, 6200 square foot, facility is needed to accommodate the space currently being utilized and provide additional space for growth. The current location encompasses approximately 3200 square foot of space. This estimate includes space being used on the first floor and in the basement. In approximately 2 years or less the vault section, which houses real estate, birth, deaths and marriage records, will be filled to capacity.

The new location will need a climate controlled vault for storage of records, be handicapped accessible, have public bathrooms, an employee bathroom, an employee break room, an office for the register of deeds, and storage areas. It will also need reinforced cement foundation to accommodate the weight of roller shelf book cabinets and books.

The rogue FBI has been going after lots of ordinary folks like Catholics and concerned parents. No wonder jalf of American believes they are a threat to democracy.

The attack on the foundations of American government, like our Bill of Rights, is coming from the Democrats, with help from the FBI. The mob boss comparison fits Biden more than anyone.
