Beaufort County: What did we do to deserve this?

First, the dysfunctional Beaufort County Board of Education (the Jeff Moss fiasco).

Next, the dysfunctional Beaufort County Council (the Josh Gruber/county administrator fiasco).

Then, the dysfunctional Town of Hilton Head Island mayor and council (Steve Riley fiasco).

Now, a retread from 1995 – Tom Peeples – running for mayor.

What have we done to deserve this foolishness?
