The Turnage is a beautiful facility. Lovingly restored through the hard work, sweat and financial support of some very well meaning and dedicated people. I mean no disrespect to any of them in the comment I am going to make. Is it a museum...or a working theater? Until it is accepted that drinks are going to be splilled, walls are going to be scuffed, carpet is going to get stains and that every event is not going to be a culturally enlightening, high brow affair...it's never going to work.

Mr Steed:

TY for your concerns and good commentary.

FYI, prior to HB951 being voted on, I wrote up a detailed Critique of it, and emailed it to every NC Republican legislator. Here is the url .

Some Republican legislators stood up to their leadership (e.g. Larry Pittman, George Cleveland, etc.).

However, despite my attempt to get citizens to speak to their representatives about this, not enough did.

For more info, please send me an email at "aaprjohn" at "northnet" dot "org".

The citizens of Beaufort County need to fight the devasting effects of fracking. Yes promise of much money and jobs but what about the impact of cancer and contaminated ground water from the known cancer causing agents in the fracking agents. Most countries in Europe have banned this technology. Beaufort county residents will have contaminated drinking water and who will pay our doctors bills when the fracking chemicals cause us to suffer and die of cancer? The County Commissioners sold their souls. Now we will be the new love canal. One we loose our ecological infrasture we can get it back or clean this mess up. This is too devastating to fix. We need to shut down th
is hydraulic fracking technology before permanent damages are done.
Reverse the vote. Where are the OLF organizers fornthis Issue.

Mr. Cratch,
For a man of your years you are not a good judge of character. Do your own research instead of relying on a proven liar’s word. Look at the court case I referred to in my first article. Are you calling federal Judge Dever a liar? Look at Ernie’s published comments in the WDN and WITN where he said nothing happened and both Deputies lied. Both Deputies won their civil cases costing the county hundreds of thousands of dollars in the settlement plus hundreds of thousands in attorney fees and other costs driving the total cost above one million I am sure.
I published my information within weeks of people bringing it to my attention. I did not choose the timing of the settlement or when the staff had enough of his abuse.
I did not say anything about Ernie’s support of Trump. I am sure he does. If Ernie told you he is a patriot, I do not question that at all.
If you think I lied by reporting the case comments from Judge Dever, I will say I stand by my reporting. If you chose to believe a man that lies under oath as documented in a federal case, you show a blind following to a man that does not deserve your support and will embarrass you more in the future. I am not finished with Ernie yet. If he thinks being a constitutional officer imparts some special privilege to him where the law does not apply, I will show him it does. Many have expressed their fear of him. I fear no man and will stand up for those that are unwilling or unable. Ernie has been a bully most of his adult life. I have known him since 1984-85. I can not abide a bully.
Mr. Cratch, I invite you to attend one of the many forums Ernie will be invited to so he can explain what he has done publicly and refute what I have said. The first one is January 13th in Aurora. You will note Ernie is the only candidate that has not agreed to participate. Why not? If he feels maligned, show up and say so.

delma, you are right on target. don't back off anything you said. there are hundreds of jails, some small and some big, who overbuilt jails at great expense to the taxpayers. some of the overbuilt jails relied on projections of the architects/contractors - who obviously stood to gain financially if the county agreed their projections. others were overbuilt using the "entrepreneurial" angle - arguing that the jail manager could rent/lease the beds to other counties, the state and the feds. hundreds of these entrpreneurial jails are half empty as the rent/lease contracts never came about, or were cancelled, or were greatly over estimated. and since the cost of the jail was to be offset by the rent/lease revenues, the county taxpayer is again underwater as the rent/lease money is insufficient or in some cases - non-existent. gov't should never get into "business" using the taxpayer as their "investors" - thats not what gov't is about. if the state and the feds are renting beds now thats good because you get revenue. however, if the county needs more beds, all you need to do is cancel the state or fed contract, or revise it lower. there are literally hundreds of jails that "over reached", and their taxpayers are suffering those financial consequences. ps - plus when jail operation budgets go up due to expansion, when the jail has abundance of empty beds, the budgets are rarely "reduced". greta investigation work. great analysis. great conclusion.

Saundra Barnett is planning on moving down to Jacksonville, FL while out on $100,000.00 bond. She was arrested here in 2007 for stealing hydromorphone from patients at Baptist Medical Center.

For years, conservatives have sat quietly as they are accused of racism, misogyny, Islamophobia (whatever that means!), being nazis, a threat to democracy, deplorables and garbage.

When they tried to kill DJT (twice), we didn't riot in the streets and burn down buildings. We wanted answers, of course, but patiently waited. We're still waiting.

The time has passed for subtlety, submission and quietly going about our business. It's time to get LOUD. Always stand up for what you believe, regardless of what names you're called or the aggression that will be directed towards you. The left in this country wants to destroy us. The only way they can is if we allow it.
"Fight, Fight, Fight!"

I think there's an oxymoron in there somewhere ... "reasonable democrat politicians" ...

RINOs actually WORSE than Democrats since many people simply vote the Party without doing their homework. That's how these guys keep getting elected.

Goodwin and his Democrat predecessors have screwed the east by allowing computer modelling to be used to determine risk instead of using real actual honest data. Computer models can spit our any result that one programs them for. Computer models should be banned by statute from use in rate setting.

I will probably vote Libertarian in this race, and it is because Forest is constantly draping himself around Mike Huckabee. When he ran for president, Huckabee was described by the conservative Club for Growth as a ''Christian socialist''. The Club for Growth is some of the best Reagan conservatives out there. The major conservative website RedState in this election cycle has hung a similar term on him. This election cycle, Huckabee has been out consistently endorsing the establishment candidates in the key establishment vs. Tea Party races. As a Tea Partier, I have a hard time voting for any candidate who closely associates himself with Huckabee. Forest has duped a lot of Tea Partiers, but his palling around with Mr. Anti- Tea Party of 2012, Mike Huckabee shows he is either clueless or a phony.

The NRA is not a conservative organization. Indeed it is more an incumbent protection society that a 2nd Amendment organization. It has a very long history of prostituting itself to incumbents and insiders. The real defender of the 2nd Amendment is Gun Owners of America and its NC affiliate, Grassroots North Carolina. You can belive their endorsements, but not NRA's. NRA even came close to endorsing Harry Reid last election.

The cosmetic treatments undertaken for facial wrinkles or body shaping is reining the market like anything. Besides enjoying healthy mind and body, people have become focused for dental health to enjoy the complete package of healthy living.Dentist Dallas
