Where oh where to begin??
 
 First sorry for the delay in getting this posted. As I was reviewing what the camera “caught” I was once again AMAZED at the inability of the Board of Supervisors to conduct business in a professional manner. There is true discontent among the members of not only the board of supervisors but among the entire governing body of Sussex County. Not to mention the lack of respect and ignorance.
Why is it that a board member and a county official feel the need to get up during public comments and make a statement to the board???? Why is it that a board member (Stringfield) does NOT KNOW where the RT 460 bypass is planning to go, it does impact HIS district… does he not care?? Or is he just that out of touch?? Why is it that when given a sliver of possibility to halt the bypass does the chairman Tyler push this aside saying it’s a done deal and we must live with that fact our focus should be on where the interchanges will be??? It seems to this writer that maybe just maybe Stringfield and Tyler have truly been in favor of this project all along … do they have a personal agenda, something to gain by this??? One can only wonder. How is it that a Board Member (Stringfield) made a derogatory comment about the County Administrator in a public meeting outside of Sussex County? And WOULD NOT apologize for it??
 
Now to the meetings …. Yes meetings! The first meeting was to discuss the evaluation and the evaluation process of the County Administrator, Tom Harris. At a bit after 6 PM the personnel committee (Tyler, Caple, Stringfield and Futrell) called the meeting to order and then wanted to go directly into closed session. County Administrator Harris stated “why did it have to be a closed door session he had nothing to hide from the public”, so they proceeded in an open session. And what a session it was, a bit disappointing that there were only a few in attendance including Fly and Warren who were NOT part of the “committee”.
 
The next 8 video clips are from that session and you REALLY need to watch them all to get a true feeling of the craziness that is supposed to be the business of the County.
 
The other clips are from the regularly scheduled Board of Supervisors meeting. In my opinion the ONLY POSSITIVE thing to come out of the meeting was the fact that the Eastern Senior Citizens were allocated an additional $4,000 of necessary funds to allow them to continue their support of their group. Oh yea we got home before midnight too!
 
Watching all video clips will take a bit of time but well worth it IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in what is going on with YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
 
Each clip is about 4 min in length and I have tried (or will soon) to indicate a key exchange of words for each one. I will also be adding to this posting but wanted to get this out right now. SO PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON and often, and tell a friend about it. The more pressure we can put on this Board of Supervisors the greater the possibility is that WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!  “Pressure” comes from awareness and involvement! Be AWARE and get INVOLVED.
 
Do you realize that it has been almost 5 years since a County Administrator has received an evaluation? I agree that EVERY employee and elected official need yearly evaluations but what I don’t understand is why is Tyler pushing so hard right now? Could it be he has a plan??? A plan to get rid of Harris??? Heaven help Sussex County if this happens!!
 
Pictured here is what Tyler proposed to use in helping to establish evaluation standards he himself was proud to say developed the questions. WHAT a bunch of garbage, this should be taken to the landfill, maybe they will waive the tipping fees to help out. If this is the best Tyler can come up with it is yet another reason that we have NO leadership.

Cut From The Same Cloth

Here are a few sayings I would like for you to think about prior to reading this post....
 

Two peas in a pod.

Birds of a feather.

It takes two to tango.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

Are you really stupid or are you just pretending ?

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."

Now with a little modifications....

 

Brothers Tyler, cut from the same cloth.

Two peas in a pod, this crop has failed.

Birds of a feather, Tylers sure flock togther.

It takes two to tango. The brothers Tyler must be heck of a dance team.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. How long have the brothers Tyler been “winners”?

Are you really stupid or are you just pretending Tyler??

"If it looks like a Tyler, walks like a Tyler, and quacks like a Tyler, it's probably a poor excuse for a representative."
 
NOW The Post
WRIC TV 8 reporter A.J.Lagoe has been investigating the county Board of Supervisors with Tyler as the chair...NO NOT SUSSEX COUNTY but BRUNSWICK COUNTY. It seems like evil, crooked, back room deals goes on not only in Sussex County but also Brunswick County. There are too many simularities to be "accidental".
Check out the links below to the news stories from TV 8 below.
Brunswick Stew 1
 Brunswick Stew 2
 
Brunswick Illegal Bonus
 Brunswick Stew leaves a bad taste in your mouth and a bad feeling in your gut. The organization BBG ... Better Brunswick Goverment should be commended for their efforts.
Here is an idea since there is an organization that incorporates both Sussex County and Brunswick County amoung a couple of others ... THE IMPROVMENT ASSOCIATION maybe the BBG and SCAT should join forces , become a multi county organization with the same goal. BETTER LEADERSHIP, HONEST LEADERSHIP and LEGAL LEDERSHIP for US the citizens.
As you go out and VOTE TODAY take a moment to think who do you want to be your leader not only for the nation but for your county!!
