As the 2014 NC General Assembly adjourns, we have NO new ferry tolls. | Eastern NC Now
The NC House of Representatives remains determined to reform the ferry tolling system as part of a larger economic vision for coastal NC.

 The McClees Consulting folks have helped me greatly. Before the Beaufort County meeting, I got information critical for us. There was more fire than light at that meeting because the problem was already solved!At this point NO TOLLS may be added on ferries WITHOUT THE LOCAL BOARDS for given coastal Counties requesting it! End of story for now / Conservatives are like spoiled children~~~after being told NO to the candy at the checkout, they whine and cry until you enforce NO with a swift assault on the rear end to get the message across!!! |

Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents.

News Release:
We are still in a mess over Integration whether we want to admit it or not. Voting rights were being ignored and that was against our ideals of "all men created equal." That demanded correction on a Federal level. Honestly, we had more good personal relations between black and white in the South than many will ever admit.
My SC Democratic farmer granddaddy used to talk trash and use the "N" word, but his heart for his tenants of color was the opposite. It was a shortcoming of his that made his grandchildren laugh at the inconsistency.
Now the "reverse-racism" I have witnessed in the town where I used to live is abominable. Neither black nor white citizens want drugs and crime neglected by law enforcement because "we can't do that without severe criticism and claims of racism." That town is now a hot bed of killing and shooting and nobody has the guts to say, "Black or white or any other color person who commits a crime will be punished to the maximum extent of the law NOW!"
