Is everyone here afraid of their shadow?
Mayor candidate Ellen Brabo is suing the Washington City Govt and Mayor Sadler in Federal Court, and yet there is no mention of it here.
It seems to me to be a really Major News Story.

It was reported by WITN last week complete with a copy of the filed lawsuit.
Read it there:

That despicable pair of quislings, Phil Berger and Tim Moore have set North Carolina on the same idiot path as New Jersey and California on energy. They sold out both Republicans and North Carolina electric ratepayers to pander to woke energy monopoly Duke Energy and to liberal governor Roy Cooper to totally rewrite and ram though HB 951 to close cheap and reliable coal power plants and move to expensive and unreliable intermittent wind and solar. That is a pure leftwing New Jersey move by Berger and Moore that betrayed North Carolina.

How are states pulling down Medicaid money they are not entitled to any different than medical practices doing so? If the medical practices have to pay the money back and be criminally prosecuted, why should the states not also be? Go, get 'em, Mr. President.

Van Zant, the board never voted directly on my motion. I was cautiously optimistic that it could achieve a majority until the member who seconded my motion withdrew the second after I clarified that under the motion Tharrington Smith could still do specialized work as called upon by our local primary attorney in a secondary roll. That member had some serious problems with some advice previously given to the board by our present attorney prior to my joining the board and did not want that firm involved at all. Therefore, my motion never got voted on. With the second withdrawn on my motion, a new motion was then made to accept the RFP as drafted, which passed 5 to 4.

As to who would constitute a "local attorney" I would hope we could find someone from our own Beaufort County Bar, but if not, then from an adjoining county like Craven or Pitt. We need someone who will protect our local interests and willing to stand up to the Raleigh establishment when needed.

Do you remember the darkest days of modern American history, when a presidential election was stolen to put a Democratic Socialist Vegetable into the highest office of our land, and remember that the Idiot President's entire staff, and cabinet was either corrupt or far less intelligent than needed to be to serve these States United?

Remember those terrible days, and remember most especially: Never again allow the Non Patriot Left to ever take over this Constitutional Republic ... Never again.

These partisan Democrat judges and their abuse of power for political purposes is destroying the respect Americans have for our judicial system. This is indeed a judicial insurrection in support of the Democrat agenda to flood our country with illegal aliens. Maybe we should be indicting these judges for harboring illegal aliens and prosecuting the judges. This is an absolutely awful abuse of our judicial system. The Republicans should respond to the Democrats' "no kings" nonsense with "No Robber Barons" with the partisan judges being the robber barons.

What the school board needs is an attorney at least smart enough to advise them to order a title search before they build another 54 million dollar school on land that they do not own.

We should remember that North Carolina's Green New Deal which promotes the wind and solar boondoggle over reliable conventional electricity was rammed through the legislature in an undemocratic power play by Phil Berger and Tim Moore, who are at least nominally "Republican" but were serving the special interests, particularly "woke" energy monopoly Duke Energy, plus Governor Roy Cooper, when they did it. That was a shameful attack on NC electric ratepayers that will push us in the direction of New Jersey on our power bills.

To whom it may concern.
The local lawyers are all corrupt. They are all afraid of the City Govt.
They are all self serving, hoping to win some gravy appointment from local govt. I pretty sure, if I remember correctly, that the current city attorney was disciplined by the state Legal Board. That stuff is online.

A local attorney is likely to bring rural eastern NC values to representing the school board. A big city attorney is bring big city values which are likely to be liberal and out of touch with local values. It just makes good sense that the local attorney would be the one on top.
