Newwin, I guess Ricky was in error when he said that "radios & system's burnt out" or that he was going to send the cars outside the County to get outfitted with lights & siren's as no one here is trained, insured or certified....

Tell that to those that work at AEV & Northwestern who install lights and sirens daily... Maybe Ricky overlooked these companies and people that like he overlooked the annual budget meeting?

Jack of all, FYI - Williams got the county 8-10 Viper units to work with the state. Which is up to and exceeds the State standards. Analog is still standard. Some department's, like highway patrol have opted to switch entirely over to digital. If we are following these other counties, I wonder when Ricky d*** will be asking for a helicoptor?

Not really pork chop. I would hope that it dont cost 30 grand to install radios in a few cars. If they are buying new radios and not using the new system mandated by the state shame on all the fools.

Captain, you need to listen better. You are misrepresenting the discussion that took place

Sorry Clod... I just have a hard time understanding stupid people.

Clodhopper, your a freaking idiot. Do you not realize the difference between digital and analog radios?

The reason "we aren't up to par" is because our officer's operate radios within the 150-155 MHZ band range which obviously aren't the digital "digitally clear" frequencies.

Tell me 1 analog radio system in the Mountains that operate better than Ashe Counties..

Why don't we have digital radios? Probably because of having people like Buchanan, Ricky and Mickey who take our money outside the County. Oh, and of course, idiots like you that seem to think it's a good idea. Go figure.

Sending the cars out of town to be outfitted with radios and such sounds like a excellent idea to me. Just listen to county communications now and it's plain to hear what they currently have and use isn't up to par.

I watched the Commissioner's Meeting where Clayton was to talk about inmate population but ended up talking about the budget.. Requested 30,000. to be unfrozen. He said that he missed the County budget meeting because no one notified him about it. (idiot should have been paying better attention!)

He was also talking about how he needed several thousand to pay to have radios & equipment installed in vehicles. Unlike before where they had a couple of deputies install them (which saved the County thousands...)

This sounded all to familiar, Like Buchanan but with a different costume. Sounds to me like he wants to send the cars out of town because he doesn't think Ashe County resident's know how to install or outfit a vehicle. Same as Buchanan when he got those ugly, Hardee's stars put on the new patrol cars..

What a freaking Moron!!

Can't wait to see how he handles a grand jury indictment.

He might set the record for least votes ever gotten in a primary election. If Bufurt is still eligible to file next month, it would be interesting to see which fool got the fewest votes.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Rose filed to run for sheriff next month.

Surely, Rose must realize, he will never be elected to anything, ever again. Might lose the job he has now.

I said all along that Rose used Bufurt so Rose could run for sheriff. The texts just confirmed this.

Someone would have to pull his strings, he does not have the tools to do it himself. After reading through the texts again, I almost feel sorry for him, as he was led into this situation by Rose. If you put their 2 IQs together, they might not be measurable.

I have thought for some time that Clayton is the puppet master pulling Buchanan's strings.

The BOC can’t remove Ricky because he doesn’t work for them. He works for the high sheriff. Only Bucahan can fire him

Now given that Buchanan is suspended, this leave quiet a quagmire. Once Buchanan is fully removed then they can put someone else in, but the issue is doing so without affecting the election.

On a positive note, Ricky and Mickey may also be indicted. I hear that it's seriously being looked into.

Clayton already fired one this week and forced another out the door.

I wonder when WBTV......or someone......will publish the rest of the emails. What few we saw of Rose's were pretty entertaining.

WBTV employs a law office in Washington DC.

A lawyer out of Campbell couldn't even find their way to Charlotte.

Campbell university is turning out lawyers by the dozens. They cant even find enough jobs to pay their school loans off so they have to create something to feed the poor things
