GOOD READING

I have been busy thinking about stuff again. It has become apparent to me that I just may be getting the stall treatment from the Beaufort Commissioners and a few other people along with them. I could not imagine why. I only asked them to stop putting things in our water that do not belong there, make proper decisions concerning our development and environment, and answer a few questions. It has been almost a month and I see little evidence of any of that happening. First let's look at those questions. (they can be found on our publications page) I have gotten a few replies from different commissioners, but no answers. What I have gotten were vague and opinionated, with little or no association to the questions I had asked. They remind me of the political tactic of throwing the dog a bone so he will quit barking. Question: What's the difference between a dog in the back yard barking and me in the front yard talking? Answer: If you feed the dog he will shut-up.
Now let's look at those other issues like the improvements in the sewer system they want to keep telling me about. Just telling me about the improvements doesn't stop the fact they are still pumping overboard. The holding lagoons are still going too close to Taylors Creek and North River, and I have not heard one bit of response to the moratorium on large developments until an environmental impact study can be done.
Am I wrong in feeling like I am being either ignored or stalled? If I am, why? I hope more people realize it isn't just me being treated that way. In the political arena when a public servant doesn't serve one person, they are not serving anyone. That includes you that read this. Please tell them, me, and everyone you know what is going on.
