Other items on the agenda include:

— A state legislative update presented by Rep. Charles Graham.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

Why get rid of the funds, What about the kids who want to play little league and can't afford it? I understand that the commissioners know that it is the taxpayers money and it is going back to the community.

Self imposed impotence, if that's what you want to call it. I call it dereliction of duty, and lying under oath, because they all took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and it's laws. And they have NOT even attempted to follow immigration laws, let along prosecute them when they have been broken. The President and the Attorney General are prime offenders. Votes are at the bottom of any bill that considers amnesty or cutting into line, by border jumpers. It is a slap in the face by those who have done it legally. It also rewards lawbreaking. Just carry out the laws we already have in place. And believe me...there are enough on the books to keep any red-tape bureaucrat rolling in the clover for a long time.

I'd love to believe that but I'm afraid it is too little too late. The discretionary fund show be done away with and their salaries and stipends lowered. They're rushing to pacify and that is all.
