Intercepted E-Mail to the State Board of Elections

Subject: Watauga County BOE - Today's WSJ Article

I believe it important to bring to your attention today's Winston Salem Journal article, clearly revealing wrongdoing on the part of Luke and Stacy "Four" Eggers.
Four Eggers' actions now clearly demonstrate the very reason that Chairman Howard stated for not reappointing Four Eggers - that he could not serve as County Attorney and serve on the County BOE.  The problem is that Four Eggers has found a way to continue acting in both roles.

Surely it is the case that this is more than unethical.  I find it hard to believe that it is not illegal for one person (really anyone) to actually run a county BOE without being officially appointed to that board. 
Further, it seems clear that the individual who was officially appointed by the State BOE to serve on Watauga's BOE - Luke Eggers - has abdicated his responsibilities and was (minimally) complicit in letting his brother, Four, run the board on his behalf.  I would think that the State Board now has the responsibility to consider whether Luke Eggers' continued service on the Watauga BOE is warranted.
