You Will Get What You Vote For | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Even disinterested voters in this election have an unusually clear and knowledgeable definition of almost all the candidates. There are only about five races with new candidates on both the Republican and Democrat sides. These are the President and Vice President of the United States, the Start Attorney General, the State Treasurer and some of the State judges. These are the offices open to new comers.

    From the standpoint of having difficult, agonizing, or decisions based on conscience to make, there are none. Even within the five races with new comers on both sides, decisions can be easily made. There is only one race with a lot of emotion. That is the President's race. The root of this emotion is that the vote comes down to whether or not this nation will continue to move into socialism or restore our founding father's Constitution. I admit the issue is much ore complex than this but this is the simplified version of the President's race.

    What makes these decisions about who to vote for so easy you may ask? The answer: All incumbents have a track record that is known to the public. It is that track record that makes the decision easy. If you do not like what the incumbent did during the past few years, you have two choices. Either not vote for him or his opponent or vote for his opponent (the new guy or gal).

    Within the Beaufort County Commissioners race there are new candidates, but more important, there are incumbents, all of whom have a well established record. If you are comfortable with the recent tax increases, loosing another 1.75 million dollars on a proposed new spec building for economic development, loosing the hospital in Belhaven, turning over control of the Beaufort County Hospital trust fund to Vidant, paying greatly inflated value for land (that we do not need), spending 1.6 million dollars for plans for a jail that we did not build, having only one bidder on some contracts, and electing commissioners who have already promised to raise taxes even more, you need to vote for those Commissioners who have already done these things to you. They are Jerry Langley, Robert Belcher and Nonsense Brinn.

    If, on the other hand, you want conservative government, low taxes and a stern and strong management of Beaufort County Government there is one place to put your only vote. That is to vote for Hood Richardson and incumbent with a 20 year track record.

    If you want lower taxes and a stern oversight of County Government but you cannot vote for Hood Richardson, you should vote for one of the new candidates. They are Jerry Evans, or Gregg Satterthwaite.

    Derik Davis is a new candidate, but he has shown himself to be a Buzzeo clone who will, in my opinion, vote with Langley, Belcher and Brinn while under the supervision of Buzzeo.

    You will get the kind of government you vote for. If your are making your voting decisions based entirely of Democrat or Republican Party affiliation, or your opinion of the personality of the candidate you will certainly have bad government. Be careful believing new candidates. However, in this election a new candidate is better than a candidate with a history of increasing taxes and spending.

    Hood Richardson has a proven record of fighting for low taxes and honest government.

What should be the priority of the Federal Government after the "Pulse" massacre: Should we turn our attention toward destroying, earadicating ISIS as Candidate Trump suggests, or, as Democrats' President Obama suggests, broaden our efforts to effect stricter Gun Control laws to limit "Gun Violence?"
83.78%   After many years of trying to degrade and contain the murderous ISIS, we should make it the nation's policy to destroy ISIS immediately.
6.08%   Gun Violence in America can be eliminated by limiting access to guns for all American citizens.
10.14%   I don't care either way; I just live here.

Should Americans be thankful for North Carolinians setting precedent in taking a stand for their state's right to manage the safety of their public facilities, where separation of the sexes remains, or should they follow Bruce Springsteen's lead and boycott the state as bigots since they will not allow grown Transgender men to use the same bathrooms /locker rooms as pre-pubescent girls?
  North Carolina is right to control the separation of the sexes as a matter of decorum and safety.
  North Carolina is a bigoted state to not require that children of opposite sexes share the same public facilities with adults of the opposite sex, although misidentified - the Transgender.
  I generally prefer the natural environs of the vacant, although rather public, large tree.
