Stan, I appreciate you writing this article. I know Hood didn’t because there is only one misspelled word.
We are at a crossroad here in Beaufort County. You two have allowed the people to have their taxes doubled or even tripled in many cases. That stops this November and all the nonsense you guys post is absolutely irrelevant to the people here in Beaufort County. Are you seriously posting this garbage to protect yourself? I know youre ilk is trying to calculate numbers to save you Stan….I get it. Not going to be enough 🇺🇸 |

Commented On A CONVENTION, BY NO MEANS CONVENTIONAL
I have much in agreement with both Stan and Hood on policy. Hood and Stan put their names on what they write.
This kind of article may be funny to some — but at the end of the day how is this helping to heal wounds and advance our cause? And whoever this writer is have the cajones to put your name on it. Other than that it’s a joke and so are you. |

Commented On What's all the chatter about?
I have a genuine question - how can we possibly entertain lowering property taxes when the 2023 - 2024 audit report indicated that the General Fund had to take $1.4M from the Electric Fund? Granted, the 2024 - 2025 audit report has not been released to the public, but I don't expect the transfer to be much different.
That is quite a shortfall to overcome while still cutting General Fund revenues. Especially considering the fact that our City already experiences frequent power outages. It seems to me that the Electric Fund could use all the help it can get. |

Commented On An update from the front
Concerned Taxpayer, it will be interesting to see the audit report if that is truly the case. Reconciling the bank accounts is one of the most basic accounting functions. To not even know how much cash the City has would mean a lot more was done than shredding documents. I am also curious to know who in the Finance Department you think is unqualified. I've always heard good things about Tammy Swindell's abilities. Martin Starnes is also a reputable governmental auditor. Are you suggesting that issues started in FYE25, or do you think there is a continuing "mess" that they have missed or ignored?
If nefarious things are occurring in the Finance Department to the extent that you seem to be suggesting, I would expect to see significant findings in the audit report, as well as criminal charges. The actions that you are suggesting are fraudulent. |

Commented On An update from the front
I am a citizen who spent years auditing municipalities. You do not have to have a completed audit report to know how much money the City has or spent in the previous fiscal year. The City is required to maintain its books "free of material misstatement". In fact, the state forbids auditors from making substantial changes to a municipality's books without a corresponding "write-up". If a city does not have staff capable of maintaining its books, then they typically hire an outside firm to make sure that balances are reasonable. Either way, the auditor will make minimal changes to the City's financial data, if any.
Everything you need to know is held within the City's accounting system. Including how much money was spent, budget to actual comparisons, cash balances, debt balances, and fund balances. With that information, you can certainly pass a budget. Either you don't understand governmental accounting or you are purposefully misleading citizens. I'm not sure which worries me more |

Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Mr. Hudson. Thank you for a respectful and pointed critique. This is a comment I can reasonably respond to. I do remember your many remarks you gave in defense of our school and am very grateful for them. My issue arises from what I believe the spirit of many of the comments were, provocative without any plan of action. The issue that I voiced to both members of the school board, the superintendent and those (like me) opposed to closing the was as follows: Why have we let it get to this point? There were rumors about Snowden closing for nearly a decade, we all knew that the standard was dropping and students were leaving, but people did not act until it was too late, and I include myself in the group. A woman at our meeting in Aurora summed it up perfectly, in my opinion, why were we not up in arms sooner? I respect your opinion that I feel below the mark, and I regret to admit you are probably right publicly. However, in private meetings with many people, I asked for any alternatives.

Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Sir. As I stated, I am a junior in college, and like many students, I remain a dependent of family. I split my time between my home in Aurora for most of the week and class days in Greenville at school, again as many students do, including Republican State Representative Wyatt Gable and newly elected conservative Greenville city councilman Seth Hardee. I'm also not sure what you mean by a real job. As I said, I worked full-time while attending school, playing sports, and being engaged in my community. I also stated clearly that I did not feel a politically driven stump speech would do people who were angry and grieving any good. You cannot make decisions based on emotion, but on facts alone, and riling up a crowd of people I love and care for would have been counterproductive. It is apparent, sir, that you have no desire to discuss policy or strategy but only degrade me personally. That is disappointing as I think you asked reasonable and genuine questions in your first response. Best.

Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Cont. from comment 1: Many in my community have reached out to me and were simply not satisfied with Mr. Hickman's leadership. They felt that this was not an overnight problem and that he did not do enough in his first two years on the board to help prevent the eventual result. Now to my youth. We have seen across the country a passing of the torch and an influx of youth into both parties. This should not be feared but celebrated, especially in the conservative movement. Students have been elected to statewide and municipal offices across the state. I would be the closest removed from Primary and Secondary education on the board, able to understand more closely the struggles that students and teachers alike are dealing with. I think this is a very positive trait to have. In further comments or communications, I can go more in-depth on my views and goals. They are simply too much for this thread. God Bless.

At least the writer should have sighted just a single wrong or deliberate filing of Willis that was rejected. And is this the first time this has happened to a prosecutor? If not were those filings made the court a KANGAROO ONE? Unfortunately it is writers like you who have nothing helpful for the unity of the US who are KANGAROO WRITERS.

Who doesn't DESPISE the Joe Biden WH? I think his dementia is almost 100 percent. He will NOT be elected next term and if I had my way he wouldn't be there now. He is the sorriest President in HISTORY.

Commented On DeSantis Admin Fires Back At Proposed Biden Rule: ‘We Will Never Allow Boys To Play In Girls’ Sports’
I highly disapprove of all these woke ideas and even more so disapprove of transgender. If God had wanted them to change their sexual identity HE would have created them so. When JUDGEMENT DAY comes there will be a revoking not only with the transgender people but also with their parents and Doctors who helped make this happen. GOD AND JESUS are erasing their names from the Book of Life. Now let's see if you will print this.
