City of Washington Government Will Know Change

    Not only have we added a great number of workers, but we've led the state in pay increases for five years. On top of that, our city government employs about 30% more people in each department than comparable towns our size across the country. We have a difficult imbalance. We are one of the poorest regions in the country and we have one of the largest and most expensive governments, relatively speaking.

    And here we are. The population hasn't changed in 75 years but our government (especially recently) has swelled in numbers, costs, and activity. Our available cash balances are anemic. Our debts are as high as they've ever been.

    I called out the city officials about this, and especially the man most responsible for these financial decisions, the city manager. The manager did not respond to or refute any of this. He could have made me look like a fool by simply bringing forth facts to show that I was wrong. I had hoped he would. I wish I was wrong. Instead he said he felt threatened for being called out and resigned. He resigned rather than refute me and make me look like a fool. I would rather look like a fool to be honest. I'd rather have discovered that he was doing a stellar job and we were packed to the rafters with cash. Instead he is running out the door as fast as possible and he asked for a huge severance check and asked to have that severance check given to him before he was actually severed. That ceremony is happening today, November 26, at 11am.

It's fun to hand out jobs and raises. That's easy. It's doubly fun to do it with other people's money, which is how it is viewed by all bureaucrats. It's a lot less fun to be the responsible one and get things back in line with what we can afford. The left would just as soon raise taxes another 100% and keep the party going, even while the for-sale signs go up in all the city neighborhoods. The new city council will have their jobs cut out for them. We have a huge debt, a huge deficit, no money, and a swelled bureaucracy.

But we were elected with a crystal clear message: the citizens do NOT want the excess bureaucracy or the excess spending. It won't be fun, but we will get it under control.

The smaller the government the freer the citizens. Let freedom ring.

Washingtonian: Probably no one right now. This is a very unusual situation, where little information is being divulged by press releases; make that NO information divulged by press releases from the City of Washington.

Soooo, who is Washington's Police Chief now?
Since Stacey Drakeford who was Police Chief, Director of Public Safety, and Deputy City Manager, resigned.... who is running our city? LOL

The New Majority should always remember that we don't want Washington turning into Greenville and that we don't want globalist politics, of any kind, in any form of our government. We want our taxes low and our culture left alone.

They, TNM, have Farrahkrat opposition BUT, in time, the opposition will take care of itself. The good Washingtonians have come together to make a statement and it's been heard across the board.

At some point in time, the "Beaufort County" comes out in people and it gets folks' attention. It knows no skin color; it comes down to situational awareness and common sense.

I went to Facebook today to see what the Facebook Intellensia is bemoaning about the shakeup in the City of, which was a process of me scrolling through many posts before I found what I was looking for, which took too much of my precious time, and I discovered three things, all of them interrelated:

1. Facebook's pathetic system of scrolling through individuals expressing and exposing themselves, while offering a very limited ability to search, as per subject, is not only antiquated, but suggests that there exists a dim narcissist stain upon all of the site's content, also expressed and exposed.

2. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gains any real, functional knowledge by using Facebook as a primary informational resource.

3. Regarding the Upending of Washington's City Government, which would have been far greater if the Beaufort County GOP had not thoroughly Screwed the Pooch by getting involved, far too many of those City of Washington comments relating to this discussion of abrupt governmental change, exhibited a limited knowledge of how local governments work, and, or should work.

My analysis: Education, which is already in place, needs to spread farther and wider, and the limits of Facebook just is NOT helping ... Additionally, and I reiterate: Nobody gets smarter wallowing in Facebook.

John Steed: The corrupt former City of Washington governing council is content to steal from the Good People of Washington, so let's all support the new majority of the new City Council, who are willing and capable of taking back our government, from The Corrupt, to give it back the Good People; their wise constituents that elected them to do so.

The city manager complained about the campaigns of the new majority. That tells you a lot. He was perfectly happy under the corrupt Sadler circus but he cannot handle honest government. Good riddance! But lets claw back that undeserved $140,000 the Sadler mafia is trying to bestow on him from our taxpayers. That is an absolute outrage.

Nick: Thank-you for your straightforward, honest approach to politics, and, now, your introduction to governing, where you have done, and now are doing a masterful job governing our position.

You have begun your path to making a big difference for We, the good People of Washington, and I, as one of your constituents, do very much appreciate it, and ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all the good People of Washington. We have deserved so much better, for so very long, and now we have a very good chance of starting down that good path together.

Nick Fritz, please lead the way.
