Fake Frankie Tells Us What Another Four Years Would Be Like | Eastern North Carolina Now

Publisher's note: This post appears courtesy of the Beaufort Observer.

    Fake Frankie Waters, also known as King Frankie and Zip Code Waters was the guest speaker at the September 27 Beaufort County Republican Club meeting which was held at La Bella's Italian Restaurant.

    Fake Frankie was up set about accusations that he had promised not to raise taxes when he was running in 2014. Fake Frankie strongly asserted that he had never promised anyone that he would not raise taxes. So, there, now you have it. You should have expected those tax increases and those tens of millions of increased spending along with increase in the Beaufort County payroll of 90 new jobs. We had 300 employees when Fake Frankie was elected, now we have 390.

    Fake Frankie said he is comfortable with what he had accomplished during the past four years. He concluded his remarks by saying: " What you got the last four years you will get the next four" if you elect him. This should be terrifying to taxpayers.

    Frankie acted like a typical Democrat. He is not ashamed of his record of raising taxes and spending during the past four years. We should expect it. This sounds like all the Democrats I know. So, why is Fake Frankie running as a Republican?

    Fake Frankie is not ashamed of costing us the Belhaven hospital by supporting the illegal use of the Beaufort County Building Inspector to provide false information to the judge to get the restraining order lifted so the building could be destroyed within hours of the judges decision. That single act cost us 50 high paying jobs and eliminated competition to Vidant. Blue Cross recently said no competition in Eastern North Carolina was the reason for them increasing insurance rates.

    Four more years with Fake Frankie will mean we budget by simply adding new expenses to last year's expense. There will be no effort to reduce spending. It will mean the boys will talk in the back room and only come to meeting to vote with no debate on spending or policy issues. It will mean the sheriff will continue to pay off his buddies with your tax money, spend excessively and not control any costs. There will probably be more law suits on the open meetings law.

    The taxpayers need to clip the wings of Fake Frankie by sending him home so those of us who want to save you money can get to work.

    Fake Frankie and his crew are now talking about a new emergency operations center. This means they will want to look at a new jail and moving it some where other than downtown Washington.

    Stop Fake, King, Zip Code Frankie Waters.
