UPDATE FROM THE BREAKFAST

GE&P begs forgiveness for not posting sooner but our Apple must have had a worm in it because it refused to connect to the net. We had to wait for our IT to recover from Friday night in Deep Ellum and fix it. Now, for the update.

First, let us tell you, there was a 'standing room only' crowd in attendance this morning at the Berkeley County Republican Breakfast Club meeting. As usual, the food was great. We, along with the folks behind us in line, were sorely afraid the biscuits would run out before we got served. Thank goodness that didn't happen. The Biscuit Man must have planned ahead.

There were several interesting developments as things got going. We learned that Dale Adcox, who was running for County Council, has decided to withdraw from the race because of his work schedule. Terry Hardesty has withdrawn from the Supervisor's race and thrown his support behind Henry Brown. Mr. Hardesty will now be running for the District 6 Council seat against the incumbent.

Sheriff DeWitt spoke in support of his reelection. As of this posting, the Sheriff doesn't have a challenger in the Republican primary. We have it on good authority his former opponent has switched to the Democrat party.

The presentations and the Q&A period for the candidates for Coroner were very interesting. GE&P will expand on this subject in the near future.

Rep. Henry Brown took the microphone and said a few words. He stated emphatically that, should he be elected Supervisor, he had no intention to hire Dan Davis as part of his administration. This statement prompted a collective sigh of relief from the crowd.

All in all, the breakfast was interesting and informative. GE&P would like to acknowledge the kind words from the readers we met this morning. Thank you.

Finally, GE&P would like to expose the actions of one of the breakfast attendees, an elected official no less. Some homemade candy was brought for the four year old son of this certain elected official. (You know who you are) This elected official was observed eating said candy. Deplorable conduct. Expect a call from the P&C.
