Flames it appears we need to see some emails of the commissioners and the dss board members to each other. It appears the state and the county needs to remove and replace the dss board. They are making a hostile work environment for the director and employees. If Poe is for doing away with the board I would look at why very carefully.

“Why are DSS Board members meeting privately with BOCC member(s)? How is this appropriate? If there are questions to be asked of the BOCC by the DSS Board they should be submitted in a timely and open manner by the Chair or the chair's designee. The DSS Board members owe a duty of loyalty to that organization, they must not place personal items and thoughts above the actions of the Board and the organization, The Board members must openly disagree during the Board meetings and then once a decision is made actively support the decision of the Board. Basic public board fiduciary responsibilitY”

That is so stupid. It is an advisory board. Get real. Sounds like Yearick wrote that.

Any citizen can ask any question of any commissioner at any time. Being chairman of dss board doesn’t make you dictator or king. I think micromanagement is something Yearick and now Sextown has tried to do. Sextown has tried to run dss as if he was completely in charge.ever since Weaver left. He doesn’t respect anyone else opinion, and certainly not the employees of dss. He is toxic.

JPP's letter to the editor continues the incoherence she is known for. While I'm not sure the LTE which spawned this thread is the absolute fact, at least it had a time line which could be followed.

I would like more information about the pros and cons of making the change. If you read Poe's letter to the editor on Ashe County line it contradicts much of what Sexton put forth in his spew. I'm inclined to believe Poe in this instance although she was the one who helped start much of the current mess by hiring Yearick.

Potashe you be sure and tell Yearick how tickled we are he is no longer micro managing our county. His mother should be ashamed of him.

Go Ashe Posters, please grow a couple and say what you mean and use words that readers can understand. Why not just use recognizable words for Wylie Roark, Elmer Fudd, Ole man from the sea, Sandy,Sandman. I know some of you think your cute but it is similar to trying to find a conversation with a third grader. My apology to third graders. If you have something to say based on facts please have enough balls to just say it. If you know nothing say nothing. TY

I also am totally against putting the commissioners in charge of DSS. The Old Man from the Sea can forget putting that girlfriend of his on the board. She lost as commissioner and he will be gone in Nov. Those two control freaks are TOXIC.

You aren’t going to respond because you don’t have any way to defend your ridiculous claims.

Is the meeting tomorrow during the regular Commissioner meeting at 9 or tomorrow evening?

So pathetic. You know the ship will sink next year. Once again the board made the decisions. Sam worked for the board. And I will not even respond to the nasty DRUNK AND HIS VILE LANGUAGE. And I am not Roark.

There is no reason for taxes to go up. A lot of debt is going away and I want services cut before taxes are raised. I havent mentioned family central yet but I will. Cut it too.

Dippy, learn to use some punctuation. Your run on senteces are painful to try to read.

Question for you, when Yearick cleaned out his office, did you remember to get your knee pads out from under his desk?

And another point would be, is DSS Director failing? Is there any complaints? Why change something that is not broken? Sands has an agenda to control all things Ashe I personally do not trust him with my tax dollars,
Sands was totally against this when girlfriend was director but now suddenly he wants to control that is RED flag number one, I call bull

Have any of you ever considered that SANDY Man is the wh*re monger, look at the facts, he wanted Sammy gone, fine, but for two years we are paying Sammy and Adam, and by the way Adam is NOT NOT NOT an Ashe County citizen he lives and votes in Watauga County, so I am sure he has our best interests at heart NOT can't advertise for county manager because they cannot officially fire Sammy so lets pay him and Adam until the end of 2019+ then lets desolve DSS because Sandy wants his girlfriend back in charge when currently there are no problems with DSS and Sandy also wants to appoint Poe to advisory council of DSS when it falls within BOC reign which means Poe is BACK after voters said NO WAKE UP ASHE Sandy MAN is horrible and worse than us deplorables, I am actually ashamed he is part of Republican party Snake in the grass and little boy Todd is his shadow vote GoSS an Dix 2018
