Hide the chef's knife! Chuckie is breakin' bad!!

Seems there was a county commission budget work session at 5:30 PM yesterday at the annex. I just had a phone call from a guy who was one of the few there. Chuckie Sears went demonic on 'em. She was showing her ass in what she thought was a real "gotcha" when she declared that it had not slipped past her eagle eyes (a Harpie eagle, no doubt) that every department except the sheriff's was scheduled for an increase. Steve Berry let her get that out of her system, then pointed out to her that she had just made a total fool of herself and wasted every one's time. It seems that Chuckie was the last to get the word that the increases in all of the other department's budgets were to cover the costs of moving those departments, lock-stock-and-barrel, into the new building when it is completed. Of course, puppet Rainer chimed in in favor of giving the sheriff way more money. At some point, Berry heatedly told Chuckie that he would not allow her to vote on the sheriff's budget. At that point, Chuckie informed Chairman Rhodes that she had obtained an attorney and had liability insurance and that she would vote on the sheriff's budget, so long as it did not relate specifically to her or her husband, and that neither Steve Berry nor the chairman was going to tell her otherwise. Berry then informed Chuckie that the commissioners have an attorney, Brent Greene, and that when it came time to vote, they would seek his council and she by God would not vote. Now my observer tells me that with this being an "informal meeting" Berry had opted to show up in a casual shirt, Bermuda shorts, and flip flops. Moments after the testy exchange between Berry and Chuckie, and just before the close of the meeting, in walks St. Marys attorney, Ed Clary. Clary strode to the podium and asked Rhodes what kind of a meeting it was. A puzzled Rhodes (what's new?) said it was a budget work session. Clary than launched into a tirade against Berry for demonstrating a complete lack of respect for the solemnity of the occassion and majesty of the county commission, not to mention a complete lack of respect for the electorate, for having dressed as previously described. At this point, no one knows whether Clary is the attorney representing Chuckie or is campaigning for Carla Carper or working for Sandy Feller on behalf of Carla Carper or is just pissed because he does not have the legs for Bermuda shorts. Unfortunately, my "reporter" did not see anyone (i.e., T.V. Camden)video taping. I would be surprised if BTW did not have an operative there with a least a tape recorder, though. Let's hope the T&G had a reporter there. You know, I had figured that once BTW's successor fires Chuckie and eliminates her conflict of interest, we could just put up with her for one more year, then drive a stake through her political future and be done with it. Now I'm beginning to wonder if after knocking out BTW, we might not need to recall Chuckie ASAP.
