On most fronts, there were no surprises. Davis was confronted about the Hwy. 311 water line and, of course, he dodged all questions. (It's still Jim Rozier's fault) He was asked about the expense of the number of county vehicles parked outside. He dodged that, too. He was asked about the portion of the Fee In Lieu of Tax funds he has stolen from the school system. He wouldn't talk about that either. We are all familiar with Davis' response to these important issues. He simply says the subjects are "old" and moves on to the next question that he has no intention of answering.
It is a bit redundant to recap this behavior from DD (Diminutive Dictator). His tactics of refusing to answer direct questions and/or obfuscating issues to his own benefit have become legendary in Berkeley County. There is no news in this area. But, there was one issue brought up last night that was truly shocking.
A very nice black lady who lives on Asazlee Dr. at the edge of Cross stood up and politely asked Mr. Davis for some help with a problem in her neighborhood. She explained that there was a rehab facility located a few doors from her home. Residing in this facility are numerous registered sex offenders. She said she was concerned for the safely of the children in the neighborhood as these residents from the facility are unsupervised and roam the neighborhood at all times of the day and night . She said they regularly gather on the cul-de-sac where she lives and remain there until the wee hours of the morning. She recounted one incident when she was walking along her street and one of these people jumped out of the woods at her. It was obvious that this lady was very upset and concerned about the whole situation.
It came as no surprise to anyone in the room who had any experience with DD that he did not personally address the concerns of this lady but passed the question off to one of his flunkies. Eric Greenway proceeded to explain the zoning laws to the degree that everyone's eyes began to glaze over. It was obvious to all in the room, except DD and his band of merry men, (sorry Nichole) that this lady didn't give two hoots in hell about the zoning laws. She was concerned about her personal safely and that of her children. But, as usual, this very serious issue was buried under a pile of DD's bureaucratic BS and the lady's legitimate concerns went unaddressed.
We, as with the majority of you, don't live anywhere near Asazlee Dr. and we are in no danger from this situation. But, in our humble opinion, when ANY citizen in Berkeley County is put into a situation of peril, it is the business of EVERY citizen of Berkeley County. The supervisor was remiss when he neglected to personally address the concerns of this lady. His offhanded remark at the end of the exchange was, "If you've got a problem, call the sheriff."
Once more, but certainly not for the last time, we would like to thank those 8000 idiots who put us in this position. If the last four years are any example, things will only get worse.

Great report and assessment of "king Davis"!! Please continue to attend his district meetings and report the "real" results! We cannot depend on the "Newsless Courier" reporters! They are in bed with King Davis!! I challenge just one of his 8000 supporters to give us an objective substantiated explanation of any answer he provides to any citizens question presented at these district meetings! This could be an interesting revelation!!
DD or Diminutive Dictator, are you implying that Mr. Davis is afflicted with the old adage called "short man's disease"?
Let us make one thing perfectly clear. GE&P would not and have never criticized any politician for a physical "shortcoming". When we use words like "little", "small", and "diminutive", we are referring to elements of character. That's the long and "short" of it.
I guess there is not answer to the question of why Cypress Garden is an item on my tax bill. My only assumption is that King Davis is again shifting the dollar focus off of his operating budget. Maybe his new Deputy Supervisor, Kace Smith, figured that little gem out. Wonder when the official announcement will hit the media???
TEASE: Wait until you hear what DD is planning for the school children of BC.
What is going on with the new jail addition. Looks like it's been finished but has not opened. Wonder how many new employees is will take. I have heard 25-30 at a cost of over 3 million annually. Dan knew this was coming but in an election year it's been left to fester. Stand by for another tax increase next year.
