(commented on October 22nd, 2023 @ 11:55 am)You have been county commissioner for 27 years, yet you have never voted for a budget. You have deceived the Beaufort County citizens. Your dereliction of duty has failed the people in this county. You are an embarrassment to the people in this county across the state. You are being paid by the taxpayers yet you only work for your own agenda. You have cost the taxpayers money and deterred businesses from coming to Beaufort County. We need commissioners that build our community for our families, children, and grandchildren. You sir, have failed the people. Instead of spreading lies and misinformation, do your job. Instead of attacking others, uphold your own oath of office, which you have failed to do.

Rep Kidwell lets his objections be known and they all come to the table for negotiations. Kidwell is a champion of the people. Richardson just yells randomly to make the taxpayers think he is a champion for them. He is not. He always wants to know if the meeting is being live-streamed before he speaks. He left the budget meeting after making an absurd comment. Didn’t stay for the process because he had his conservative PAC meeting. As he said, “politics is a hobby” for him. We the people are not here for his entertainment.
(commented on October 20th, 2023 @ 5:26 pm)I know you would rather be right, but you are not. You sir, are the beholder of ignorance. You know Ms Garris is doing a great job and you can’t stand it. Get off your soap box and bother someone else. From what I see, she has implemented changes to better serve the citizens of Beaufort County and customers. I hope the voters are paying attention to all the lies and misinformation you spread.

(commented on August 18th, 2026 @ 4:31 pm)Rino Hunter, Good question and good point!
Are the identities of the volunteer committee membership also secretly held by the CITY?
And can we lobby these members to share city issues from our own knowledge and experience? How do we contact them?
Where did the idea for these committees come from? I suspect it came from the Planning Dept, where Perreault also serves on the Planning Board.
Inquiring minds want to know.
(commented on August 18th, 2026 @ 11:31 am)Concerned Taxpayer:
I wanted you to see Perreault's post on facebook 7/30/26 explaining the whole Citizen committee strategy.
edited post: "These meetings have brought together city staff, community leaders, and residents with different backgrounds and perspectives, all working toward the same goal: making Washington an even better place to live, work, and visit.
This is still the beginning of the process, but I’m encouraged by the collaboration and the willingness of everyone involved to think creatively and focus on achievable projects.
Our workgroup will now submit these initiatives to be considered for inclusion in Washington’s final Strategic Plan. As the remaining workgroups complete their recommendations, those initiatives will also be compiled into the final plan for Council’s consideration."
(commented on August 17th, 2026 @ 5:17 pm)The attempt to create a consolidated political machine is something to consider. It would explain a lot of the puzzles. Knowing history we know that a political machine will even side with mobsters if it means winning.
Thinking back, I see Kidwell and Garris calling for the resignations of Sadler and Stacey Davis. It was actually a statement from a police officer at a Public hearing, that made the defeat of Sadler by Brabo possible.
Then around that time, the City manager demotes the police chief. (Its why we dont have one today.) But that Chief didnt complain, and as a matter of fact, manager Russell then referred to him as a "team player." Others have referred to city employees as team players. Couldnt "team player" be another name for political machine member?
(I also recall the firing of Rorie due to convenient public statements from police.) What a Team!
(commented on October 26th, 2023 @ 9:06 am)Sounds like HR took 45 minutes to say BC Schools arnt smiting the gays hard enough and won’t teach your children the benefits of slavery. Letting MAGA run the school board is not a good idea.
(commented on October 25th, 2023 @ 8:56 am)Well Diana, every 4 years we have an election. We will either keep the president or the other person will win. Either way, we all need to except the results. Anyone who is unwilling to do that is unfit for office. It’s that simple.
(commented on October 21st, 2023 @ 10:03 am)Funny how the one place, court, that has consequences for lying is where MAGA falls apart.

(commented on October 16th, 2023 @ 8:27 pm)Utter nonsense. As the honorable Judge pointed out, Mr Trump is under court supervision, with several felonies, and he is not entitled to say and do what he wants. No other court would allow it, and hers is not going to either. He is free to slam Biden, he can say what he wants about the Government, he can run his election and talk up a storm. But he can't badger people and try and taint jury pools and intimidate witnesses. And intimidation is his total shtick. If it were you or I, we would be waiting in jail. Mr Trump is the perfect example of two teirs of justice.

The Political information regarding everything and, everyone should be placed in every media possible to educate individuals before they vote.
The majority of individuals are not educated from statet to present day is not reaching every individual.
And, this is heavenly reflected throught out the world as to why this planet and, the lives in including, in it are being negativly impacted.🌎

The person who wrote this is likely the one who sleeps next to their thesaurus and dictionary to attempt to impress the readers with their mixed up rhetoric.
Nice try Stan… and to the readers: you’re being hoodwinked.

1 Comment(s) Left by Truth Knower (view all) (commented on October 9th, 2023 @ 9:32 am)I don’t know who this Carolyn Garris is, but if you research it enough (like I have) you can see that Mr Richardson has a personal vendetta against this woman. If I were him I’d stop defaming her character and get in with the job he was hired for. Unless he is attempting to crash and burn his career and make his reputation even more frivolous.
Another point I’d like to make is this, according to Mr Richardsons own words, he knew 10 years ago that they were running out of space at the register of deeds office. So Mr Richardson, when were you slacking off… then when you could have obtained the books when it was brought to the Commissioners attention? Or now when you are wasting taxpayer $$ obsessing over this woman who is attempting to do her job? Either way you need to GET BACK TO WORK or I will work to make sure that this job is no longer yours.

(commented on October 27th, 2023 @ 6:55 pm)Jack it is not part of the BCS Curriculum. Dr Loope has addressed it and the teacher has been reprimanded. All this is old news. Thank you for your comment though.
(commented on October 27th, 2023 @ 9:31 am)It happened at the College. Disciplinary actions were taken with the teacher. There is such a thing as privacy such as the HIPPA laws. The school board does not control the College. Try going to a meeting instead of getting your information from Hood Richardson and his cronies.
(commented on October 26th, 2023 @ 9:42 am)Big Bob. There are some wonderful School Board Members but Hood wants to fill all the spots with the patsies he can tell what to say and do. We don’t need Hoodites on the School Board.
(commented on November 29th, 2023 @ 3:58 pm)So you’re saying Al Gore probably won, or is it only fraudulent when your guy loses? Say what you want about democrats we have way more class than MAGA. Man I hope Nikky beats Trump.
(commented on October 9th, 2023 @ 9:15 am)I still think it odd that trump supporters, generally speaking, don’t like Jews but Israel can do no wrong. Make no mistake, dictators like Putin, Netanyahu and Trump will bring death and destruction to all.
(commented on October 8th, 2023 @ 10:07 am)Finally. Progress. Stan you are correct. Human activity is effecting the climate on planet earth!
