The question came up about the 29% of our property tax relief that has been taken by Mr. Davis. First Mr. Davis said the funds were being used to satisfy debt. Then, he changed course and said the funds were being used for Capital Improvements.
Mr. Davis was asked by several people about the Fees In Lieu of Tax funds that had been taken from the schools. For once Mr. Davis answered the question directly and honestly by admitting the funds belonged to the county and he would spend them as he pleases.
Mr. Davis, for the third time, blamed the changes in Council procedure on the Resolution demanding transparency sent to him by the BCGOP. We attempted to correct this misconception by pointing out that the Resolution demanded transparency by way of taping the Council meetings for airing on a local cable channel but our protest fell on deaf ears. We asked if Mr. Davis would give our videographer permission to plug into the Council chamber's sound system. Mr. Davis said one of the Councilmen would have to make a motion and Council could vote on it. Considering the makeup of Council and who has the tie breaking vote, that should provide a real solution.
So, all in all, the meeting was the same old dog and pony show we've all seen a thousand times before. The only real difference was that there were many new faces in the crowd. Of these new folks, the majority were not buying the answers they were given and they saw through the rhetoric. This fact is very encouraging.
If any of the readers want more specific information on any of the issues mentioned here, please comment.

Unfortunately, we should have taped his meeting last night because Dan Davis has trouble remembering what he says about various issues, i.e., the EMS blackout issue at his Cainhoy meeting! One person asked her question - received his answer - then read his answer back to him for confirmation! She told him that she was writing down his response since apparently he is so misunderstood and miss quoted!! Is that not the most incredible display of leadership by our Supervisor???
WHAT DO YOU HAVE BUT POOR MOUTHING HERE, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO BAN ME, BUT WHY EVEN SPEND YOUR REPUBLICANS WHEELS WHEN YOU LIVE IN A KINGDON WHERE THE KING RULES. 8000 SERFS SAY SO.
Berkeley County, has a MINO government now, Majority in name only for the Republicans... isn't that GRAND! Only two Democrats on County Council, but whatever their heart desires, they GET! Want that money from the Schools... no PROBLEM... want a water line straight to your house... even if it means dumping 6000 gals of water a day in the ditch... no PROBLEM.. whatever the Democrats and Rino's want they get. We have an opportunity in 2012 to get rid of 1 RHINO... Bob Call so... let's get to work finding someone to run against him... and EDUCATE his district about his TRUE nature.
Stand-by "B", your confidence and that of the 8,000 King Davis supporters will be badly deluded very soon!! Patience is a virtue!! Obviously, you are one of the 8,000 who is NOT capable of figuring out King Davis!! But thanks for representing them!! I am not too sure most of them want you to be their spokesperson!!
