Just about anything the any government does gets complicated very quickly. All government functions, from federal to state to county are complicated. The average person has great difficulty in understanding the policies, the whys and wherefores of all those people and the decisions being made...

I recently saw a "flyer" supporting someone seeking to be a County Commissioner. He is not new to Beaufort County (claims to be having been born and raised here) but he is clearly new to politics in general and Beaufort County politics in particular.

The North Carolina Republican Party is inarguably bent on proving it is inconsequential to real Conservatives, who actually believe in the tenets of the former Republican Party, and live by Conservative principles.

The present controversy between Sheriff Alan Jordan and this county commissioner has breathed new life into the question: What do county commissioner do? To put it another way what are the duties and responsibilities the public should expect from county commissioners.

While I am hardly a political animal - don't really have the time for it - I have, over the years, been rather astute in recognizing the obvious, especially the dubious moves of politicians. I see this odd behavior often from Democrats, and sadly, I now see it from some Republicans as well.

Yes, it is true that Charles Hickman has declined the appointment to the Beaufort County Board of Elections. His letter has been received by the State Board of Elections and they are in the process of responding to it.

Almost everyone puzzles at how the Washington, D. C. clan of elected officials seem to always miss the important things that go with preparing a budget.

Larry Britt will never get answers from the Beaufort Observer that satisfy his false curiosity. Larry does not see his questioning as false because he is not principled.
