    The notification letter from Vidant Pungo Hospital President Harvey Case was short and to the point.

    "Effective at 12:01 AM on the morning of Tuesday July 1, 2014, Vidant Pungo Hospital will cease providing emergency and other hospital services. Please inform all emergency resources of the change and modify your operations accordingly."

    In less than 50 words Beaufort County EMS Director John Pack was given marching orders. Pack was ready to put his plan in action. Proving, as he has demonstrated in the past months, Beaufort County EMS is prepared for any emergency whether it is a natural disaster or man-made.

    Justin Gibbs, Hyde County EMS. Dir. also received notification and reported Hyde County was ready. Assuming that Vidant lives up to this death knell, Hyde County EMS plans to revisit the funding request for a 2nd truck. This request had previously been cut during the budget negotiations.

    If the letter had not been Fed Exed, it might have been suspect . There was no return address, just the Vidant logo. There were no other Vidant officials copied nor were any Hyde or Beaufort Officials.

Beaufort County is implementing a new emergency alert system. All residents are encouraged to sign up to receive alerts via phone and email.

Has the local government acted responsibly and transparently?
Beaufort County Commissioners meet, and work by a majority vote to do the business of those constituents they purport to represent.
Waste, fraud, abuse and incompetence continue to govern county school budgets and decision making.

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.
To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
We must vet, and elect those who will actually represent the people or we will be stuck with the same mess we have now.
