Preston gone!!!

Now after this financial commitment for the severance package, how can the county afford the forensic audit they have already voted to do? Or was that included in the earlier budget?

-the-queen

From all the "savings" Bob and Cindy and their new cohorts plan to implement.
Of course, they know there is no need for an audit of that depth. It was all about getting re-elected and pulling in the save negative minded candidtaes to help them gain control.

In this economic enviroment we have a coucil that just took jobs out of people's future to give a lot of money to a person about half the county doesn't like. this is not a reflection on JP but rather one on the council members that are leaving their offices. JP also made more than a lot of governors of states. Why?

Because he actually does something. Unlike Sanford who does nothing !

Dead serious, it's a rape. The rape was performed by six members of our community. Before republikin looks it up this is from her favorite sources MW, " an act or instance of robbing or despoiling or carrying away a person by force". The word is appropriate, the act was not.

You are repeating Rick Driver. Calling this a rape denegrates every woman who has suffered such a horrible act. Choose your words more carefully.

Yeah, republikin, Joey has done lots and lots of stuff. All bad.

So you say......!

All right prevail lets get something straight here allright, there aint going to be no lawsuites. Period. End of discussion, you may go ahead and file one but in all likelyhood it will be dismissed. Why you may ask? Simple since Anderson County Council (and all other councils too) serves at the pleasure of the State they enjoy SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY in the state court system and since there is no federal question here there is recourse in the federal court system here either. What is Sovereign Immunity you may ask? Simple its as the common law describes it; The King may do now Wrong. As long as no laws were broken and there weren't these county councilmen (and the federal, state governments as well) enjoy protection from suit for all actions they took while in office in the course of their official duties. For more on state sovereign immunity see Amendment XI to the Constitution of the United States and subsequent US Supreme Court decisions.

Yes non-sequitur but again as I said look at the US Supreme Court's decisions, according to the XIV and XV Amendments Congress has the power enforce these amendments, one of these powers is to remove the immunity of the states, again a state loses its immunity when another state files suit, also they lose it when a federal constitutional issue is raised. Again though that was in federal court there is no federal issue and in state court this will in all likeliness be dismissed.(The counties immunity is granted to them by the virtue of the fact that they are apart of the political body of the State)So under the common law (state constitution too) no state may be sued without its consent. Again: The King May Do No Wrong. So while it is true you may sue the state it must grant its permission first. In many cases this is already done.

No sir what I am saying is that these provisions are meant for the protection of the government. It ensures those who we have elected aren't sued for the decisions they make while executing their duties. It also keeps courts from making political decisions that are outside their jurisdiction.

It's an imperfect system, but it works. Keeps the kooks from filing go-no-where suits. Can you imagine how MCW would tie up the courts if these rules were not in place?

Just think, when all the Rick Driver folks donate their $10 bucks a piece for a law suit to reverse the Council Majority decision (made in public and filmed so anyone who wishes can view it) should be about enough money to mail an envelope to the courts. Oh, I forget, Barrister Bob might do some lawyer'n for a small fee?

It'll be ok, everyone.
This will pass, and we will all move on.

I challenge you to show how the proper use of this word "denigrates" women who have suffered sexual assault. Get a grip. You must expand your vocabulary a bit to see that words can have multiple uses and not take away from the meaning.

-1-opinion

That's 1-opinion. However, opinions differ, facts don't.

The word was specifically used to evoke an emotion. Don't try to weasel out of it.

I find no clear defination of "rape" as an act of violence that eliminates sexual assualt. Perhaps you refer to an obscure European herb from which is gathered rape-seed. In which case, the word is misapplied.
