Beaufort County solution: Vote them out
First there was the Beaufort County Board of Education, which devolved into name-calling, secret meetings, even calling police.
Then the Hilton Head Island town manager nastiness where the mayor, having committed to firing the manager only to discover he doesn’t have the power to do so, elected to not speak to him for, now, more than three years.
Now there is the Beaufort County Council clown show, voting to offer the county administrator position to a person not in consideration, then to another who doesn’t want to move here.
Here’s my solution: with so many open seats on the school board, County Council and that of the mayor, let’s exercise our right to vote them all out so we can reestablish comity and put the interests of the people ahead of all the drama.
