Our government is destroying our country in to half. From racism, open borders, riots and looting to suppressing points of views. FBI is corrupt and police are being labeled as killer's. High rates of overdoses that aren't being addressed.

Commented On What is fiscal responsibility and transparency?
John, FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT. I have seen so many talk about the rate decrease and blame the county for their tax increase. The average taxpayer does not understand what you just put in plain English. Well done sir. Now get on Facebook and shut down the misinformation coming from all directions on how this works, lol. The City increased taxes without providing more services. It is about like when they increased the rate .02 to save for the police station. They were supposed to give it back once it was built. Did they do that? NO! So that's an extra .02 that was diverted to fund their other pet projects and misuse of tax dollars.

Commented On Elected Officials – Persons of Interest
Will, the inmates are not convicted criminals. They are innocent until proven guilty. By law, they have to receive 2 hot meals a day. So, no, all they need is not a peanut butter sandwich.

It would do you some good to look at the budget before assuming. The $1,134,319 increase from FY23 to FY24 was without SROS. The funding for SROs was already in the budget for the county. It just simply moves the expense from the schools to the Sheriff's office. I agree. The SROs was a big win for taxpayers. If you are fine with the irresponsible spending coming from their office, vote accordingly. Good stewards don't buy their desk staff $500 suits on the taxpayer dime. They don't throw $500 retirement parties for their dogs with the tax payers money. They don't stay in $350+ a night hotels when traveling on the tax payers dime. All of this is public information. Maybe you should look into it yourself before taking everything at face value.

Commented On Let's Get It Right!
John, the reason private schools and/or charter schools can provide an education at a lower cost per student is because they do not have the same regulations. They do not have to provide free lunch like Beaufort County Public schools do. Their teachers also do not need to be certified, which is scary. I know many students who came out of PCA to go into college having to take college prep courses because they were not prepared by the private school to enter into college. Is that all, no. But I know many. Also, I would argue that private schools are at a higher cost per student. They pay 10,000+ in tuition, have to pay for books, pay for lunch, pay for transportation, and then the school has fundraisers that you have to raise a certain amount or pay out of pocket more. Also, you have to commit to volunteer your time to work for them for events or pay your way out of volunteering. It is all a money racket.

Commented On Civics 101: Beware of Bureaucracy
John, their sales and services (pay as you use) accounts for 1.8 million. property taxes account for 7.5 million. Think about how much more taxes would have to be raised to increase the ad valorem tax revenue by 1.8 million. That's not minor. I agree with everyone up here that the taxes are outrageous, the admin charge from enterprise funds is insane, and storm water fees, trash pickup fees, and other charges can be a way to "tax" the property owner more. But not all governmental revenues are taxes.

Neutral and the City is above the County tax rate. The county stayed flat in a reval year while the city imposed an 11.5 cent increase while stating in articles they decreased the rate.

So, do commercial jets not leave a carbon footprint, or military jets? I didn't know that if you didn't own the plane, you were green and clean. Mr. Heinz, you are a hypocrite. Do you own an EV, and do you use it? If not, why? Did you know that the company making them is failing because normal people can't afford them, and those same people are afraid for their safety. Too many have just caught on fire going down the road, or sitting in a driveway. An entire shipload of these cars caught on fire and burned in the ocean. Idk, maybe that's not so bad. POTUS needs to convert his beloved Corvette. If we gonna suffer, everybody needs to.

Commented On Karine Jean-Pierre Insists It’s Not Her Job To Answer Questions Like Some Sort Of Press Secretary
When does she think she'll grow out this schoolgirl puppet stage? She shouldn't have taken the job if she couldn't answer questions from the press. She said it herself, "It's all staged". Fake presidency!

Its kinda funny Mr. Davis puts out this woe as me facebook post, saying its not him... Post the video and lets see the the car, that matches his, and the other evidence that is presented here... Mr. Bobby Hodges is a man of integrity and asked for this just to stop... Mr. Davis is a THUG with a fake education, that was fired for cause. Look at the FOIA request for fiduciary reporting from the NC Election committee; as well as the fact he IS NOT an ordained minister, as he claims to be; he HAS NOT graduated with an formal degree from Duke Divinity and the NC School of govt degree he is claiming, is nothing more that just a basic 30 day class advisory attendance, that he completed the little class that is open to ANYONE... It is NOT what he is making it out to be...
When the screws are tightened, something will happen and he is hospital bound to try and move attention to a "woe as me moment" and distract away from the real issue.... watch and see! |

Commented On Slann strikes again
Mr. Richardson - your attacks on Slann are satisfying. You should be bothered by Dawn Slann. She is a threat to the business you've made out of being a lifelong politician and the right answer for Beaufort County. Keep crying.

Commented On Washington, N.C., Deserves Better Than This
www.witn.com
"Michael Whatley meets with local officials in Beaufort County. Washington City Councilman Max Perreault said Whatley’s campaign reached out to him to host the meet and greet. A campaign spokesperson for Roy Cooper, Whatley’s Democratic opponent, said in response to the visit: “Roy Cooper is running to deliver lower costs for working families in Beaufort County and across North Carolina.” Perreault and the Beaufort County sheriff also spoke at the breakfast meet and greet event." ========= OH REALLY? Its more likely that Whatley reached out to the Local GOP, who then reached out to their inside man Perreault. Who they may be cultivating as part of their secret committee, useful idiot, and shadow Govt. (There are pictures of participants at the link.) |

Commented On Washington, N.C., Deserves Better Than This
Three ENC sites fail this week’s Swim Guide tests
May 29, 2026 By WITN Web Team Those sites were the Washington waterfront and Havens Gardens in Washington on the Tar-Pamlico River and Slocum Creek in Havelock on the Neuse River. Isnt it time for Washington Govt to dazel us with all their expertise?? Surely we pay them enough. Why would anyone want to live here? They tax us to death, while they watch the city slowly rot away. There are not the needed doctors, or even the laborers willing to live here and take jobs keeping our homes up. There is a shortage of everything, except for members of the bureaucratic machine. We thought we were getting a new City Council, but instead got one which was quickly indoctrinated by that bureaucratic machine. Every lawyer in town is part of that machine. A.I wont do anything to humans that these bureaucrats havent already done. "Manage the humans"...ignore them until they become nothing more than bank accounts for the City Machine. |

CT, some power plants in NC use wood waste to generate power.
That means trees that use to be cut for pulp, to make products, now gets burned up to create electricity. They eliminate our forest. I think the plan is to eliminate people, or at least the middleclass off of the coastal lands of the USA. The City of Washington supports this. How about some of you smart people try to study the city webpages and how they report. I see a news and an events link, that show NOTHING upcoming for we the people, tho they announce things on Facebook. |
