Just a true conservative who likes showing my friends and neighbors they are not alone. I don’t know what Jack is raving about because the lawsuits have not come from Sam. Oh, and does Stumbling BLock live in Ashe? He is from Watauga. Gosh. Someone better check and see if he is going home at night, or on the weekends.

Potashe your hero Yearick got his butt handed to him again. I would love to see the list of complaints against him. He caused numerous law suits for the county to pay. He stayed about 3 years too long. Good riddance Yearick.

Think you are a little mixed up over the DSS board being abolished. During the meeting I did not see a very loving and kind hearted bunch of social workers. I saw a bunch of vindictive and mean spirited so called do gooders. We all knew how the vote was going to go. This was just a public show. I saw a bunch of county employees and maybe one disgruntled neighbor slamming Ashe County citizens. And the poor ex director who was about 40 years in and has no idea what a threat is. That was a conversation not a threat. 3 years later she is slamming Sam for the OLD MAN FROM THE SEA. Since you mentioned that everyone was trying to get the job as director well I saw at least 2 others commenting who have made a play for the job. This will be a mess. No way was all of the issues with DSS a lie. With all our money being used in that department I hope someone can do something to justify the cost. I feel sorry for the public that has nobody now to help them with their issues. WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

Maybe Stumbling Block will spend a couple more hundred thousand to fight a losing cause for you.

OOOOH, the tape little Ewing was talking about which is being passed around of our county manager **** chatting around the courthouse in an attempt to embarrass him into settling his KILBY CONTRACT. This tape was made AFTER Sam was put on administrative leave. When the 3 village idiots realized they had canned HIM and he had a legal contract until THE END of 2019 INSTEAD of the end of 2018 they had to come up with something TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD. These 2 Commisioners who are about 80 years old are real pieces of work. They hired Sam and because he tried to straighten this county out he stepped on a few toes, namely The OLD MAN FROM THE SEAS GIRLFRIEND. Just think our tax paying dollars are being wasted on crucifying a LOCAL. I would much rather watch the tape of Team BUCK and the officers having a meltdown at the courthouse. There is no tape of Sam shooting a bird at the commissioners are in front of them yelling in the courtroom like there is on the tape of the officers. YOU want to stir ashes let’s stir them all.

I see Sexton's true colors were revealed at the meeting. He's just like his buddy Yearick.

I don’t know anyone’s real intentions. It seems like everything was going very well as they were. Sands is a control freak and we’ll see who he puts on the board.

Ashes, this looks like Sextowns power play to become dss Director and it is falling through. Be interesting tonight to see if his last play falls through.

Jack, wake up. Poe wants the current board dissolved so she can be on the next board. She has teamed up with your best buddies. Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about her now.

Oh, the TAPES! Little Ewing are you referring to the end of the meeting where Terry B was legally appointed sheriff and Team BUCK WENT crazy. I heard the officers shot birds and got very unruly in the courtroom. Yes, I heard there was a copy but I thought it was suppose to be released more towards election time.

Fins I still believe that elmer fudd and his gang wanted Donna out as dss director. Their plan was to dissolve the dss board to do it. Watching meetings elmer fudd was extremely curt towards Donna. Sands knew what they were up to. Now that this poe gang is unhappy they want to dissolve it and Sands sees through their plan.

There is a lot to this dss story but it seems to me everyone is starting in the middle and no one knows the beginning. Hap hazard so to speak.

I said before when Poe tried to dissolve the DSS board and sands was against it, that it was a bad idea. Now that Sands is for it, I still think its a bad idea. I also question why he has seemed to change his mind. Of course, he may not have changed his mind, the hearing could be to listen to concerns brought to the commissioners and then shut the issue down.

Didn't I read somewhere that the Board of Commissioners were in disagreement with the Ashe County Planning Board? Isn't the planning board members appointed by the commissioners? This is another costly micromanagement event brought on by the commissioners. The tax dollars paying for attorney fees are into the hundreds of thousands, the money wasted to disprove the decisions of the planning board. If the county commissioners take control of the DSS board look for their egos to cost a lot more tax dollars. I feel sure not one of the current commissioners or any new ones to be elected can even tell us what the DSS does.
