Tyre is a power bully and he is corrupt. He is a one man cancer on our city government. Perraultr needs to gumption to not let himself be bullied by Tyre.

I think Tyre is describing himself here.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is when limited understanding creates inflated confidence, people who know the least often speak the most certain.
Next time, I think I will clock him to see how many minutes he rants/rambles out of a single hour.
If someone would use a "point of order" on his speech, maybe the City meetings wouldnt be so LONG!

no, no, no.
Fritz got the most votes from the Citizens of Washington, then of all the other candidates.
If there had been a boycott against his business, there would have an explosion of new customers to offset that boycott.
Regardless, it is urgent that he rescind this bad decision, and come back fighting. He has the ability to organize supporters if he will just ask. We are not mind reader.
People often think they are alone...when they are NOT.

Beaufort County citizens living outside Washington are fortunate as Washington has been a circus since the death of former Mayor Mac Hodges. First they had the self serving strongarm high tax Sadler faction. Then they thought they had fixed it with a new team. Unfortunately, things are not going so well with that team. Joe Davis has turned out to have a tendency to shoot from the hip and go off half cocked. He probably means well, but he tends to open his mouth and engage his keyboard without fully thinking things through. Tyre is pure evil, and Horton is his wingman. Perrault tries to play both sides, and has gotten in bed with Tyre more than he should. Fritz was the only sane guy up there and now he is gone. Brabo as mayor has not set the world on fire, but at least she is honest for a change.

If you live outside of Washington, you can get out the popcorn and watch the soap opera. If you have the misfortune to live in Washington, however, it is a tax nightmare.

The rumblings I heard did not specify the nature of the threat, but if it were a possible boycott, a common tactic of the left, then beating a hasty retreat would be the path of least resistance.

If Fritz's business is being threatened, it is safer for him to be on the council than off it.
In my opinion, Brabo's business would already be shut down if she wasnt Mayor. Tho I do believe she has lost control over her Mayorship. Letting the 3 avengers run roughshod over Davis was a disgrace. They took Davis' HRC position away, then tried to nominate Tyre to it. He begged his way off, whining that he was already a liaison for 2 committees. Well suck it up buttercup bec u guys are now going to have to double down on committee jobs.

I have heard rumblings that some of the dark political forces in our city may have made threats against Fritz' business. Don't know if that is true, and whether or not it is true, I would expect Fritz to protect his business by denying it. Fritz defending that pair smacks of him trying to placate somebody for something, and that makes those rumblings even more believable.

Concerned Taxpayer, In Nick Fritz Facebook post, he defended Sadler and Tyre. WHY? Does anyone know?
I will never forget Tyre telling a constituent: "If you dont like how we do things, hire a lawyer."
Well Brabo did and look at the mess that has caused. She had to do it, unlike most of us) because she had a business to defend. So I dont blame her at all.
I know that Perreault was calling for everyone to be a team player. Well, I cant forget that is what manager Russell was doing right after he demoted the police chief...calling that demoted police chief a team player.
Those are all peculiar things to me. Or i should say personnel CONTROL strategies by govt.
