Things must be going downhill---not only do most of the public I meet have nothing but disdain for the actions from some of our county commissioners, but even the editorial in The Independent today slams the chairman for his 'heavy-fisted' actions in regards to the public comments section of the board meetings.
In another column, the misdirection by the county attorney is taken to task, as well. Her comments that the previous board had directed her to research rules for the comments area was just another attempt to mislead the public. In what is evidently a carryover from the campaign strategies used by a few of the board members, this statement has no merit. A big difference I see here, though, is that the statement has not been allowed to pass. Finally we have one member of the media who is not sitting back until everything is over and done before announcing some of the strategies are misleading or even outright lies. 'After the fact' announcements have allowed those commissioners to get where they are today. Maybe I'm being optimistic, or maybe we on the mainland aren't quite as simple as the George Soros of the outer banks has stated, and just maybe we have support that will step up and call to task those things that need to be addressed. We can only hope. Too bad it has taken us this long and this far to see that.
