Befuddled: You are right. We have the opportunity to become the Drone Development Center for the East Coast, Possible Rail development in Chocowinity, One of the largest phosphate deposits in the world, and could be the bedroom community for Greenville NC and look who is steering the ship. We need a real school board, County Commission and City Council. What is the plan for Washington? I wonder if the Camber, EDC, County Commission and City Council have ever had a collective meeting to work on synergism to bring us out of obscurity and stop losing people out of our county. We need capable candidates! Then, this group could have some clout to talk to our next line of authority. We need businesspeople at the helm. Our President is a great example.

The "No King" people and the "Loony Left" do not understand that "all Government Control" is "King Control". When the Government finally takes over, we can expect Voltaire's cycle of history, “History is only the pattern of silken slippers descending the stairs to the thunder of hobnailed boots climbing upward from below.”

Not "green madness". It is "super stupid". Show us the science.

Many people who are screaming Fascism do not know what it means.
The word "fascism" originates from the Italian fascio, meaning "bundle" or "group", and is derived from the ancient Roman fasces, a symbol of state authority and unity.
Fascism is an authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology that emphasizes a dictatorial leader, the suppression of opposition, and strict societal and economic control. It gained prominence in 20th-century Europe, particularly in Italy under Benito Mussolini and Germany under Adolf Hitler. Now the Left is using it as a slang term to demean anyone who is pro-Trump or anyone they do not like. Most of them are unfamiliar with the real meaning.

And the Dumocrates are claiming this is to go after Trump adversaries.
And our uninformed public keeps sending this bunch back to lead our communities, state, and country.

It appears that we need an orientation program for elected officials. Especially the School Board and County Commission. Who is hired help, and who is running the asylum?

What the left and mentally disturbed do not understand is that you cannot kill a phantom warrior. They just created one of God's best.

If their appointment is signed by an autopen, is that a legal appointment?
There are ways to detect if it is the Pen or a handwritten signature.

When we get back to people over party, we can do a better job of rebuilding our Nation.

Running a town, county, or country is like running a business. We can see the success of our country under the leadership of a businessman and not another person with no business experience. We would do well to take a good look at our current City Council. Who on there now has business experience? Why do we need to raise taxes? What is this Council doing for the people of Washington after you leave Third Street? How about flooding and potholes? What are they doing to create Washington as a Bedroom Community for Greenville? Millions are spent on Main Street, but there is not enough parking. What are their plans for growth and development? I have not heard any. Maybe I missed it. Hope someone can fill in the blanks for me.

We need more real Republicans in the House and Senate and fewer Rino's so we can clean up this mess. Our current Judicial System is a joke.

Trump's success is scaring those with deep ties to the "Deep State". Some of these are Closet "Deep Staters". Most of them have to be careful. Remember the Scripture, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone".

When will this “weak kneed” school board learn that Cheeseman is hired help? He sits beside the school board Chairman and reads the rules at the opening of the school board meeting for the meeting. There are no assignments given by the board to Cheeseman, and no “return and report” from Cheeseman. Eight out of thirteen schools are poor-performing schools. Why? Half of our consolidated school buildings are empty. (Our county commission chairman wants to build another one) Aurora did not just happen. Cheeseman has allowed this erosion since he has been here. After all, they are just mostly black kids, Let’em ride the bus. If we move the remaining students to Chocowinity and the new one thousand k-6 monstrosity building does not fill up here in Washington, which it will not. Then the next move will be to bring Chocowinity k-6 to Washington, close Bath and bring those to Washington and “voila”, the problem is solved. We can have more consolidated schools, and Cheesman is a hero.

Abraham Lincoln quoted in the Gettysburg Address:
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. ...... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure." We have been tested and will continue to be tested, but thanks be to God, this great experiment has long endured, and I pray that we will remember those who have given their last great measure of devotion to protect this wonderful country, and that we may all stand as examples like those that have made this a great nation.

Let's take a survey. How many people with business experience do we have on any of our boards? Look at the gallant effort that has been put into trying to save Aurora, except for the school system. Many things attract young people to a community to make it grow. The basics that they all look at are the three S's—school, Service, and Safety. When you kill the school, they do not look any further. The debacle of our county and city taxes and our school system is terrible. Half-filled school buildings, eight schools out of thirteen with poor ratings, 30-35% of our Children at reading level. So instead of fixing the Problem, let's close of one of the poorly rated schools and make the Superintendent look better. After all, they are mostly black kids, let'em ride the bus one to one and a half hours one way to school. That's the easy way out for the board, but a lousy way to run a railroad.

Sometimes when you peel back the onion, you find the rot. Sometimes it is more than one onion. Sometimes you may find mold on the cheese. This whole debacle did not happen overnight. The school has been allowed to deteriorate over the last few years. New young move-ins look for the three S's, Schools, Service, and Safety. Without the first S they do not look any further.
