Van Zant - I say this: One never allows these Masters of Malfeasance to cash out of anything at this point, especially when it comes off like stealing from the public. The People own the government; not the antithesis of such.

I agree John Steed; but, the question remains: Who will the City find who will take that case to court?

WE need to get behind our new council majority and support them. They have a big task ahead cleaning up the corrupt mess in our city. This outright theft of $140,000 is a start but who knows what else lurks. I hear there is a lot of paper shredding going on in city hall.

The residents of Washington have been ill served by their representatives for a long time. From beginning to end the scoundrels are cashing out.

Richard, at least in America (so far) you can still call a politician an "idiot" and get away with it. They are arresting people in Germany for that and I am sure some of the ilbs here would like to do the same.
However, you are spot on as to what we have in our current city government and city manager. This is, after all, the same city manager who proposed the budget with the huge tax increase, and then lied to the taxpayers by claiming it was not a tax increase. The dude should not get a nickle in severance after what he has done to our taxpayers. |

Why is this IDIOTIC City Council giving this amount of money to an IDIOT City Manager, who has NO CLUE how to manage a city?
Somebody, or somebodies will have to explain this ... Deep in the Public, they will explain this. |

Concerned Taxpayer: The problem with these types of contracts in Beaufort County is that Democratic socialists, and RINOs, who swap votes to share power, those who work-hand-in-iron-glove with bureaucrats to forge these documents, which may not be legitimate politically at the least, and legally at the worst.
At what point can one governing board obligate a new governing board, and be clear of the legal fall-out? This is a most fair question since this is the People's government and the People's money to fund it. |

Bureaucrats should NEVER NEVER NEVER have contracts like this that provide for "buyouts". That includes county managers, city managers, school superintendents, etc. The taxpayer should NEVER be at the mercy of a bureaucrat this way. Employment at will is the standard in the business world, and it should be in the bureaucratic world as well. Bureaucrats should NEVER be "entitled" to a job. If they are not performing, they need to go, just like in the private sector. For state bureaucrats, there are no "buyouts" like this so why should there be for local bureaucrats???? SUE THEM AND GET THE TAXPAYERS MONEY BACK< and that includes suing all of the irresponsible city council members who voted for this banditry.
