Deplorable is a straight up liar. If a judge wanted a case dismissed for lack of evidence, then he dismisses it. He doesn’t tell the DA to drop the case. And it doesn’t require a settlement that puts restrictions on the plaintiff. If what deplorable claims were actually true, those high priced FOP attorneys would never have let Buffurt settle for only $71k.

Personally, my experience has been when someone starts talking about how much more knowledgeable they are about the constitution than everyone else, they usually don’t know squat about the constitution

I was wondering if that was the case when I pressed send on that post.

Most counties have a policy that applies to all county owned vehicles that they must remain in the county boundary. We were informed that Mickey and the pooch were going to Yadkin county each day. Everyone still has their lips zipped on the pooch. The county must have just given the dog to mickey.

Fairplay

There is a law enforcement exception in the IRS code. If they are required to be on call and available to respond to an incident if called, the IRS considers that fair use. No tax liability attaches.

Close they should be getting a 1099 from the county for driving the vehicles home everyday. Now I realize why the manager wanted to be paid by the mile for his personal vehicle instead of carrying a county vehicle to Caldwell county.

If you were to drive down the mountain headed for work you will meet 2 or 3 deputies coming into Ashe to work that live in Wilkes ,one lives on 18 . The part that gets to me is most people think Hartley and Absher went back with pretty much everyone local . I get that Wilkes is only a county over however I firmly believe they should be driving personal vehicles to and from home to work .More tax dollars blown on gas and patrol cars being worn out driving up and down the mountain . I like Hartley as most do and he's just riding the cash cow cause it's easy ( big money ) till election . I also know they had to get Bufort out before anymore damage was done .
And before you ask ... I drive over 2 hrs to work in a company vehicle that l pay gas in if I use for personal reasons and pay the percentage use tax , which is called a fringe benefit where I work . Do they pay this ? I think not .

I can eat alphabet soup and **** out a better reply than that iknowmorethanyou! Besides, Unless your name is Google stop choosing screen names like you know more than others -because you don't.

I never said that Jefferson doesn't have coverage 7 days a week. (Was that your childish imagination speaking out or just a ignorance assumption?)

7 days a week and 24x7 is a huge difference. NO, They do not work all Night! (Do the math numbn*ts. Jefferson has what? 3 or 4 officers? I suppose if there were 3 Officers, they could work 8 hour shifts, 1st, 2nd & 3rd? 7 days a week...? No days off, no vacation? Even with 4 officer's, there would be huge uncovered gaps)

If you call patrolling Food Lion's parking lot & harassing their customers "patrolling businesses" Then, I agree. They know how to do that well. My elderly aunt no longer shops at Food Lion because of how my uncle was treated when he pulled up to pick he up & load her groceries..

As for needing their help. No thanks. I don't live in Jefferson and don't pay city tax but if I did, I would raise H#LL because what they do is a total waste of tax payer $$$

I drive through WJ & Jefferson at daybreak 5 days a week. I meet Sheriffs & WJ patrol cars practically every single day. But not once have I ever passed a Jefferson patrol car at daybreak. Not ONCE!

Just maybe you should get all the facts before you start spouting Captain! Jefferson DOES have coverage at night 7 nights a week. Neighborhoods, businesses and streets are patrolled. How about before you start condemning you try living in their world and see it's not all roses and sunshine for ANY officer. And Heaven forbid you should ever need help from those you are so quick to condemn

Deplorable,are you referring to the "constitution class" offerred by the John Birch.Society? If so, you really are a member of the lunatic fringe. Those people have never been reality based. The only thing they get right about the constitution is the spelling. Are you going tell us you are a sovereign citizen next?

Deplorable, When I read that salary scale. I couldn't help but think of the poor old people in Jefferson who pay town taxes for their city police. The police department is the highest paid law enforcement group in Ashe County and from what I hear, they don't even patrol the streets, neighbor hoods, businesses, etc. Basically, a 9-5 job... (They don't work nights) The deputy that told me all this said he was tired of having to do his job and theirs too. LMAO. Its ashame the people of Jefferson pay city taxes and depend on having city officers to patrol their neighborhood.

You are in charge of several divisions and need to report to the higher ranks;Colonel is the next step after a major.

And finally I say Praises to Perry, she is trying to save the county money, keep up the exorbitant salaries that Hartley has asked for and gotten approved, do you truly in all your ignorance believe that your taxes will not increase, who the **** is paying the jacked up salaries...WAKE UP ASHE COUNTY Perry was right from the beginning

Yeah, boy. That's why a judge suspended the last Sherriff from office. You sir, are crazy.


Sassy, I just have to ask your education level, have you ever taken or been apart of a Constitution Class, Can you site the constitution, do you really feel like and expert, because if you do I take that as a personal challenge. ALL charges were dropped because the JUDGE told Horner he had no proof, no wrongdoing to bring the charges against the Sheriff, therefore the county had to pay the Sheriff 71000 monies to keep him from further suing the wrong accusations of HORNER and BARLOW read transc and learn it is all there in black and white, Horner and Barlow had a personal interest along with appointed commissioner McNeil and before you discount and bash me READ the facts it is all public record

The BOC meetings turn out much better in his absence. If only Perry would stop showing up as well. Those parasites have sucked their last blood from Ashe County's voters. Unfortunately the tax payers will be paying for their selfishness for many years to come. Shame on the crooked three.

The only way someone would hire that scheming parasite is because the puppet masters told Mochen to hire him. The parasite might be one of the lunatic puppet masters.

I just had a thought- is it possible that a certain member of the BOC has decided NOT to run for re-election because he has been considered for a particular position in Mochen's make believe administration..... chief deputy, perhaps?
