"I think that Woody and Beth have been playing political games for personal ambitions and power as opposed to doing what's in the best interest of the citizens of New Hanover County."

Well Brian, I know for a fact that your bosom buddy Hickey was doing everything he could to try to get in Ted's vacated seat before the November election while Beth and Woody both chose not to seek it since it would make it look like the Republican party was selecting a "choice candidate" out of the 3 of them who were running for the Board.

At least you prefaced that statement with "I think" so that it isn't actually a claim of corruption you are making, and more of just stating a suspicion.
