"Update from City of Washington:"
"In response to any questions from citizens that you may receive regarding the Ell Hotel, this is the official City statement that you can provide. If they have any further questions beyond this, they may contact me for more details.
"A Federal Judge has told the City we cannot regulate any event activities at the Ell Hotel until the pending lawsuit has run its course."
Thanks

"Pastor" Horton Leads Council Coalition Against the Biblical Family
False teacher and second-term Councilmember Glenwood Antwan Horton led another coalition with Pretend Republican Max Perreault (MR. 23% TAX MAN*) against the Nuclear Family Month proclamation, letting the motion fail.
This was a simple agenda item to encourage the family structure in Washington as God intended, while not including any rhetoric against other man-made family structures that don't actually exist.
Montessori schoolteacher, Zach Settewongse, a recently failed council candidate/major Horton supporter, ended an expletive-laden, satanically inspired tirade with a middle finger and "F*** you Joe Davis" Thereafter, a "thank you" was given by his former running mate, Mayor Ellen Brabo, breaking us into a 5-minute recess.
Under the guise of our town's now 2nd made-up group,
"The 2nd St Coalition," there was lots of biblically abused
misinterpretation and what some may call damnable heresy by anoth

Washington is so poorly maintained, a dead body can lay next to a busy roadway in a busy business district for so long that it turns into a skeleton.
But any citizens that try to suggest changes for a better Govt are routinely ignored. Remember the City of Washington just wants your bank account and for u the taxpayers to just butt-out!

Would Beaufort County teachers support our females?

"Complaint Sparks US Dept of Education Title IX Investigation into NC School District

WASHINGTON, DC – May 13, 2026, America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal complaint with the US Dept of Ed and the US Dept of Justice, alleging that policies enacted by Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) in Concord, NC, violate Title IX, FERPA, and the US Constitution. The Dept of Ed’s Office for CivilRights (OCR) announced that it launched an investigation in response to AFL’s complaint.

AFL’s complaint exposed CCS’s policies permitting “gender expansive and transgender students” to access sex-segregated intimate facilities based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex. One female student attending Cox Mill High School raised concerns during a public school board meeting that a biological male student “identifying” as female participated on the girls’ football and basketball cheer teams and used the girls’ locker rooms & restrooms."

READ: www.northcarolinahealthnews.org
• "Trump's $50B rural health bet meets a HEALTHCARE DESERT in North Carolina (northcarolinahealthn ews.org) — Greenville's ECU Health Medical Center is straining under surging ER demand as nearby Martin County's hospital closure forces more rural patients into the city's only Level 1 trauma center east of Raleigh. Local leaders and ECU Health executives are lobbying for funding, but say Trump's new $50 billion rural health program won't reopen Martin General or quickly ease Greenville's long ER wait times."
+++++
Why would any thinking human choose to relocate to a Regional HEALTHCARE DESERT such as we have here locally? Is the plan to eliminate most humans in coastal NC? Let us die off for lack of medical care, and tax to death the rest of the humans here.

When the school Admin asked for more of our money for playground equipment, no one told us what kind of equipment they would buy.
I say all that is needed is a wide assortment of balls, jump ropes, some organized games, maybe some hula-hoops, and the game hopscotch, drawn in the dirt. AND, while speaking of dirt, maybe a huge pile of it so they can play king of the hill.
A study was done about what kids w TV wanted for Christmas and what those w/out TV wanted. Those w TV wanted expensive toys & gadgets, while those w/out TV just wanted simple things like crayons and a
coloring book.
Which child is more healthy?
Some Govt folks just like to spend our money! Easy come, easy go!

Stan politely says the voters are uninformed, I think if he werent being polite, he would have said stupid.
Well, I've noted that those we elect come from the voter list, and they sure are stupid.
For example Tandy Dunn, voted with the Dems to hire our new part-time county manager.
Is that really the best we can do? And do we really have to pay them more than a Senator or a State Attorney General???
And was that really a county employee talking shit to Commissioner Hood at this recent commissioners meeting?
We need a Purge!

Continued from facebook post . pt 2.
"One business is an engineering company, focusing on structural building, plumbing and mechanical work. The business was started in 2006.
He also has a pinball machine venture were he buys, restores and resells machines.
He said the county commissioners and citizens of Beaufort County will have to trust him that he will make the Beaufort County manager’s position his priority.
The new county manager’s base pay will be $200,000 annually.
With his county paycheck and his other side enterprises, hopefully he will invest in a Bill’s Hot Dog or Mom’s Cheese Biscuit for lunch and breakfast every now and then,
Commissioner Booth."

Thank you Mr. Booth!

Why Stan? Because the world is full of angry people. From the left to the right, NO ONE SEES US! We are just bank accts to the users/takers.

Angry people need someone to blame, and some to hate. Its happening even right here in Washington. Bad Govts lead to more anger.
Here in Washington, if they are not corrupt, then they are incompetent. Both lead down the same path.

By the way, Chairman Waters, u say u dont want to lock up a one-time drug dealer. Just think this, if u had locked him up, then I say his younger brother would not have picked up the same criminal life. Think MORE about the innocent in all of this!! Dont let your compassion for a drug dealer, open the door to causing another good kid to go bad.

"The Shadow," What do yu think we can do about it? From where I'm
sitting, it appears to me that the majority of the commenters on Beaufort County NOw, would rather talk about one of the other 50 states, DC, or even a foreign nation. The Cabal is currently trying to destroy Davis. Why? I guess because he wont obey.

So, Beaufort County has a NEW County Manager!
www.thewashingtondailynews.com
Its Tim Corley...who will continue to live in Pitt County, and keep working at a second job. Dont we deserve more? ...at last he didnt come from the DOT.

Meanwhile back at the Washington battle stations on Facebook, the key-board warriors have posted a petition to remove duly elected councilman Joe Davis.
At this point he must be beginning to feel like DonaldTrump, a man with a bloody target on his back.

If anyone here starts to feel sorry for their selves, just look around at some of our folks who have real trials to bear. If that's not your cup of tea, look at the
victimized citizens of North Korea, who are 10 inches shorter than those in South Korea, but are brained washed to sincerely believe they have a REALLY GREAT life thanks to the "Dear Leader."

If Washington is a City of Hate, when/how did that happen?
Was it always here? Did the internet reveal it,or did Facebook.
Facebook made it possible for birds of a feather to spread their gossip for good or bad. People living in a bubble can become very self-righteous.
Why are old people, who r growing older, so upset about a glorious celebration of young people getting married, who may decide to settle down in Washington? Does that really make them miserable to witness? I say live and let live. Show a little humanity. Maybe compromise a little. Maybe one week day event and one weekend event would be fair?
If some of these ppl would take a look at the conditions some of us have to accept surrounding our homes they would be ashamed of themselves for being so stingy.
If these beautiful vintage homes cant b maintained then what? A future ghetto?
Its possible u know...Washington isnt growing...but a
welcoming attitude might b the cure.
Hey City Manager, can u explain reality to th crabs.

Regarding the City Budget. There is a Budget Public Hearing
beginning at 6:00 on May 11.

Councilman Joe Davis wrote this to the citizens:
HOW RESIDENTS CAN BE HEARD
Davis is asking residents who support the tax reduction to attend the next Council budget meeting in person and to make their support known during public comment.
“Heading to the ballot box should have been enough. It wasn’t. If you want this rate cut, the most direct way to get it is to be in the room when the vote happens. The
opposition of tax decreases are always there — and they will be loud. I know most people don't have time to do this but yours is the voice this Council needs to hear.”

Facebook participation has the power to make or break a small town's congeniality. I think it is currently breaking it.

The only thing worse than "small town politics" in a small town, is small town politics in a big city... such as DC or Chicago 4 example.
I think small town politics could be known as vicious gossip that people act on.
Bureaucrats say, we have been here for decades, you politicians come and go frequently. (that causes rot in govt, which causes sloppiness)

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.

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.

Did Nick Fritz really just resign from the city council?
I say dont let him. Tell the City Council NOT TO ACCEPT his resignation.
