It's Beaufort County's version of All in the Family. Theres the matrimonial relations between the two boards, and there are also the situations where there are school and commission board members with their offspring employed by the Beaufort County School system. Aw, I bet there is never any conflict of interest there.

Van Zant: Having served with, and against, the Center-Left Coalition, those whose who swap votes to share power here in Beaufort County, in some various iteration of theirs for the last nearly 15 years, I have had the great displeasure of learning how to exist in slow successful measures, while begrudgingly working with these intellectually challenged political figures.
And, while the Center-Left Coalition does some incredibly stupid stuff, in both word and deed, Commissioner Richardson and I, however deeply frustrated we may appear outwardly, well know how to keep these self-styled marianets in their appointed self-constructed box. Accordingly, the current school board needs to begin the process to form a coalition of Republican badasses to begin what will begin the intense process of forming a shadow political insurgency to remove those among themselves, who could never lead these public schools out of the deep shadows in which they are now intellectually and politically enshrouded. I honestly know in the deepest recesses of my optimistic political heart that we are just one election away from a conservative revolution here on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners, and in that same note of optimism, I am hopeful for the Beaufort County School Board as well. |

Must a struck a nerve with the matrimonial board members. It seems the appearance of impropriety is of no consequence to the commission husbands. Quite the contrary since the response is to double down.
As screwed up as the BC Commission is, at least you can tell who the board members are and who the staff members are. The lines are so blurred on the BC School Board. It's like alternate reality. |

Van Zant: If anyone deserves the right to be publicly angry with these intellectually deprived members of the Center-Left Coalition, it is me; however, I am honor bound to do the People's business during these public meetings, and I shall never "grind my personal /business axe" on the People's time.

Regarding the March 3 Commission meeting: What a shocking lack of decorum.

I watch th Mar3 Commissioners meeting,& saw a Clown Show!
What an embarrassment Ed Booth is to th pple of this county. He completely slanders Hood right there n front of th world.He should resign n shame. His lack of integrity&judgment was n full view. The 4 I refer to as Mr Opposites is bec they consistently vote nay to anything Hood purposes. Even simply a light to let them know when they are being recorded was too much 4 them. However w/out even a night to sleeping on it, they voted to pay $500,000 for 4ac. NOW THAT contrast is a perfect example of what is wrong w th 4 Mr. Opposites. They made fools of selves & now they just want to move on & hide their errors by not demanding a title search to resolve any festering doubts abt th dishonesty of that whole boondoggle. I feel bad 4 Hood&Stan saying this,but I think we need term limits. All BAD BAD stuff going on here in BeaufortCounty&Washington Govt, however Stan made an inspiring speech during the Comments section. Part 1 of 2. |

Continued Part 2 of 2.
All Bad BAD BAD stuff going on here in Beaufort County & Washington City Govt., however Stan made a speech immediately after the call for Commissioner comments that I found inspiring. Good job Stan. Sooo since lawyers are worthless, how do the citizens force justice on the unethical? HOw do WeThePpl find a entity in Federal or State Govt that will bring a hammer down on those cheating us of the right to have a Govt OF the Ppl? Or as I often say, we have NO rights, we only think we do. Get crosswise to any Govt body or its agencies and you will quickly find out. |

*Close the “nonmajority loophole” in open meetings law*
North Carolina recognizes the importance of govt transparency with its open meetings law.
Some local govts try to skirt the open meetings law, including by splitting their meetings into two nonmajority meetings.
The General Assembly should close an apparent loophole in the open meetings law and put a transparency constitutional amendment up for a vote of the people.
