Proud,

Fins never said it was illegal. He said conflict of interest.

Now, with a sitting county commissioner voting to add an excellent severance package to the county manager's contract, and then within months getting a county job, combined with the texts between Rose, Roark and Yearick in regards to hiring Roark quickly before other people applied, it is clearly obvious that these actions were at least unethical. Now, as a voter, I will exercise my constitutional right to vote every one of these individuals out of their positons, as well as support any law enforcement investigations into their behavior.

As far as Buchanan. No he was never convicted, but he was indicted. And he chose to take the plea deal and walk...why? Although the records request itself was not properly presented to the SO directly, the other charges related to his behavior still occurred, making his actions likely illegal and definitely unethical, as well as the firing/demotions/resignations from the SO. And poor ethics did him in more than anything else.

Fins, quit lying. Roark’s appoint WAS NOT ILLEGAL. The UNC School of Government was consulted, and just like Sands and Rose both working for local govt entities and on the Board...IT ISNT ILLEGAL.
STOP LYING

Sounds like what I heard. I do remember hearing about her putting in a sex offender in as trustee before he went to court. Doesn't sound like a very bright individual in my opinion.

It was a minor technicality & sheer luck that Buchanan got the charges dismissed. Numerous civil suits are pending against his administration and the County.

I'm concerned about what I now hear going on in the jail. A jailer said the toothless one was lazy, loud & had a nasty mouth. Said she was a sloppy chain smoker & didn't even dress appropriate for her $52k+ role. Said she was also gullible & fell for anything regardless of its legitimacy...

Pork Chop, either you are a liar or your source is a liar. But it was the judge that said Roark Was in a conflict of interest. If you can’t see what Roark did was illegal, you are even dumber than I thought. Even with the couple of people I did find that thought Bufurt deserved a chance to try to do the job were mad as **** over Roark getting a county job.

DA threatened Roark to resign as commissioner. Sad state for DA. No one came out of this mess looking good. With sands Rhodes and McNeil, it’s the good old boys in charge again.

Pork Chop, Buchanan’s charges had nothing to do with the corruption. So stop trying to twist the two together. Buchanan’s charges were for refusing to release public information and harassing county employees trying to fulfill that request. And tell it like it really happened. There was a settlement. Not a straight up dismissal. If the judge hadn’t found zero evidence, the case would have been dismissed and Buchanan would still be sheriff.

Rose wasn’t charged for the corruption and collusion. Neither was Roark. But you forget that the judge told Roark to resign from one of his jobs. That alone proves once again you are lying.

Mr Weinstein WBTV screwed up their records request so the lawsuit was dropped and they haven’t reapplied after the judge reviewed the records and said there was nothing there!
And Mr Oschner has moved on from this non story
He won’t waste any more of his time

Porky the most ****ing evidence was telling Yearick to hurry up and hire Roark before the public started sending applications. Are you not concerned with the reason the county has not complied with the records request? What is Yearick hiding?

Oh finny just keep shouting into the wind
The judge reviewed all of the documents and found ... NOTHING
Just because you didn’t like what happened doesn’t make it wrong

Stupid, just because a legal vote was held doesn’t mean the collusion and conspiring before hand didn’t take place. Rose’s own text messages proved he had been illegally discussing public business outside of official meetings with Roark and Perry. They also proved that Roark was given a county job to go along with the way Rose wanted it.

Yep, plenty of corruption. Just the fact that Roark got a county job proves corruption. Roark should do the county a favor and leave an apology in his suicide note.

Listen people- there is no “corruption”
A legal vote was taken.. period

Y’all just didn’t like the results so you fabricated this whole case
You brought in WBTV who has made the county look like a bunch of hillbilly idiots
You brought in the SBI who felt like they wasted their time investigating a non-case
And you’ve stirred up hate and discontent for your own petty pleasure

The lynch mob is a sad representation of who and what Ashe County is.
