Sheriff Ernie Coleman likes to brag about how much money he is saving Beaufort County. Like a lot of hot shot politicians, the truth is, he is spending a lot of money and not managing what he has very well. His buddy commissioners have covered up a lot of wasteful spending by enacting "project ordinances." (AKA off budget). That means the spending is not included in his fat budget. Two examples: The communications system, from one tower to eight, at a cost of over two million dollars. The consultant the county hired got the contract and has hired two of Coleman’s employees. No worries, Coleman did not cry when they left. The other project is the 2.5 million wasted on the re-doing of the jail doors. A true exercise in cover up and mismanagement.
Coleman’s claims that the commissioners were defunding him are false. Truth is, Coleman defunded himself. He, without a vote of the commissioners, gave about 200 thousand dollars in raises last year and forgot he would have to pay the same amount this year, and in every subsequent year. Coleman promised to hold his budget steady two years ago. What a slip Ernie, now you know about recurring expenses.
A lot people want to know who Coleman’s favorite people are. That is, who got the raises. This is public information. You have the right to know. The following is a list of about half of Coleman’s favorite people. The list with the other half will be printed next week. Pennies rounded to the nearest dollar. There are about 40 favorites out of the approved jobs.

To Diane Williams: it is obvious you never studied critical thinking. Consider substance versus liberal thinking.

Before you start pointing fingers, you should probably proofread your articles. I found a lot of grammar and spelling errors.
