Assuming Mr. Dixon did in fact transpose the number of beds in the PCDC, exactly how does that make him a liar? The very poeple crying that we need a new jail are lying. It's not needed but rather WANTED. I'm mad as hell that the "gang" is willing to spend my money and yet I have no say in how their personal money is spent. How can we spend this money knowing that Beaufort county can not even support the expense of running a much needed hospital? Who was it that "gave" our hospital to Vidant? Washington wants to update the watetfront. I would much rather see the jail money spent on a new look for Stewart Parkway. At least with this option, me and my family members will get some enjoyment of our spent money. Put the attorneys and judges on notice that speedy trials are a must and if jail time is required after the trial, the defendant is to be shipped to a place built to house prisoners instead of keeping them at home for family convience....save OUR money.

OMG!!! How far does anyone have to look to see that Harry RAN the sherrif department with the blessings of Alan Jordan? Bickering about something as petty as a miss quoted number of beds in another county jail is a HUGE mistake on his part. We are talking about spending millions of dollars verses thousands of dollars. We can ship many inmates to Pitt County, or any other county for 20 million dollars and save the county money. And yes crime will continue. And as it does, it's the judges turn to save Beaufort County money by sending these criminals away. Combine that with a speedy trial and now you have saved tax payers millions and made our county a safer place to live.....which just might draw jobs to the area.

Meredith is correct in the Pitt County numbers are wrong, I only used that which was given to me. Major Phillips pointed out to me when I called him Friday (March 28th, 2014) that it appeared the numbers were transposed, 596 to 965. I did not speak to the Major the first time I called two months ago; I only asked information from whoever answered the phone. I could have transposed it myself, although I wrote the number down three times during the call according to my notes.
I’m sorry to have overly excited Meredith with a type-o. The message I was making is still the same, Beaufort County does not need to build a new jail, and Pitt County can still handle our 15-20 inmates when needed with their approx 150 empty beds. As for Meredith's petty attack on me, I will not respond to. I will remind readers that Meredith does have a track record, please review it. Keep in mind he "ran" the jail. I will run a clean and fair race. Thank you. |
