Chocowinity EMS Sues Beaufort County | Eastern North Carolina Now
Chocowinity Emergency Management Service has retained the services of a Greenville lawyer, Mclawhorn & Associates, to sue Beaufort County Government for financial redress.
|
That makes it even more stupid and arrogant!!!!
|
|
Well, this issue goes a whole deeper than this. In fact, no one came to the county commissioners to discuss this issue before the lawsuit.
This appears to be more of a public franchise wanting to go private using public money to do so. It just does not work that way. |
|
|
Tell you what ~~~ If the County Council were in a mood to listen at the public comment time, we might just solve problems without wasting money on lawyers and suits.
I have serious issues with our high appraisals on Property Taxes. Everyone I talk with is agreed that taxes should be "fair and balanced." We are too broke to hire a lawyer, but would not need one if elected officials would just listen with real interest over pretense. They seem to want to take another vote on the Jail which is already decided by anger and refusal to find a good solution with reason attached!

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.

When President Trump professes "America First," he absolutely means it to his core, and to our benefit as a Representative Republic, which is a welcome change from the previous administration of Idiot President Biden; America's second Non Patriot President.

Government works best when it does not play favorites. Favoring Chocowinity EMS over all other EMS districts is not only unfair, it's possibly illegal to do so.
