“I appreciate you letting me go so I can let my wife back in the house. You made it. I want to start out by saying I do appreciate the intent that is behind this of trying to save taxpayers from overwhelming property taxes. I understand that's the intent, and I do appreciate that. But there's some things about it I just can't agree with, and you probably already know what I'm going to say.

We ought to have, like, a public hearing on it or, you know, take those kind of concerns into account before settling on something. I'm not against it, but I think, you know, we do want a lot of transparency up here, and I think that would be one way of making sure that we have that. So I'd appreciate it…”

“On August 5th, the first... Thank you. 4,420 trips for a year to date, over 7,000 for Medicare patients. The on-time rate was 98%. They've been going through a period of driver shortages. At that moment, they had 11 drivers out of the need for 21 total. And they were at that time about to interview four potential new drivers, and they had two others interested. Some dispatchers and supervisors are having to fill in the gaps for that lack of drivers and are doing some of the driving.

The sheriff report, I didn't get all of it, but it did say 265 calls during the month, 104 dispatch calls, seven animal calls, two assault calls, two breaking and entering calls at storage buildings, and 261 traffic stops in the Midland area. Midland Fire Department reported 118 calls, 60 of those being medical calls. NCDOT representatives came and they reported on consideration of the proposed 2427 bypass for Midland. There are three plans under consideration. They're leaning toward…”

“um someone's mentioned about where we stand on the go bonds i have not stated my personal position on that because i didn't think it was appropriate as a county commissioner to do that i will repeat though the only reason i put voted to put it on the ballot was because the people need to decide that and so that's why i wanted it on the ballot is let the people decide if we're going to do that now I want to say thank you to the sheriff's office. I've been getting a lot of death threats. Got one recently where the guy said somebody should beat me to death. It's been tried, you know, and it was…”
