Comments for Democrats Remain in Control of the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners

Tonight in Beaufort County, two Republican commissioners left the board of county commissioners, and two Republican county commissioners took their place, bringing the total to: 4 Republicans, 3 Democrats. As in the past, the Democrats took control of the board and may well remain in control.

SICK 'UM Stan!!!!

What on 'God's green earth' has 'progressive' got to do with it.

Being a commissioner is most three things: 1) Having the wisdom to set prudent policy, 2) Oversight over every department, 3) Possessing the ability to do math, and do it well.

The last I checked, self-proclaimed progressives can not do math, none that I have ever met or know of.

What I am trying to say is that agreeing to disagree can have smiles attached. A 4-3 vote on all matters is hardly any kind of compromise and progressive status, in my view.

With the greatest of respect, Gene, don't confuse a business meeting with 'faces filled with hate'.

With this current board of commissioners, who I served with for many years, I don't hate any of my fellow commissioners, and I'll take a leap here, I don't think any of them hate me either.

We just have distinctly opposing ideals.

I am concerned with the look of hate on many Commissioners' faces. I have personally attended 2 meetings. I have viewed the video recording made at each meeting and broadcast on the government channel of local cable.

Somebody needs to smile and cajole among the group. Maybe they should pick a good bar and enjoy some libations that generate good discussion and convivial personal relationships. Until then, we are going through another hired set of professional who can see no change in Beaufort County --- the county of hate over politics AND friendly citizens willing to do anything to help one another.

I prefer an example set of friendship and progressive action.

It is one thing to change your mind based upon new information. It is another thing to just tell dozens of people one thing and then do something else within 2 weeks. Gary Brinn cut a deal to become the "Chairman" of the Board of Commissioners with the same people that have done serious damage to this county for years.

Beaufort County continues to be a Tier 1 county. When will it become obvious to everyone why this continues?

One only has to look at the analysis of the Beaufort Observer editorial team to know that as long as people fall for the lies that the democrats are representing the poor, you will remain poor.

Gary Brinn says he represents "all the people" He represents no one but himself and he will be rewarded for that in 2016, if he does not resign in the next two months.

Not yet ... no self-fulfilling prophesy here.

Well, Democrats have functionally always been in control of the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners. That is just an unmitigated fact.

About the chairmanship debacle, I warned Hood of this possible scenario. There is a second stage of this scenario, where it can become progressively worse for the citizens of Beaufort County. I pray that it will not turn towards that darker path.

MEANWHILE ~~~ we have a death in the Jail, supposedly by suicide, the prisoner put a sheet over his cell and the monitoring cameras did not see it and jailers respond in time!!!

I so love the "Tempest in a Teapot" over who does what and why when we have a crappy jail and no one is doing a thing~~~SINCE THE 80's!!!

Beaufort County voters once again elected a Republican majority to the County Commission and once again a Republican has given it back to the Democrats in a backroom deal. I've about given up on ever seeing a real Republican majority in my lifetime.
