People calling Beaufort County offices will no longer have the option of picking the Spanish language.
The commissioners voted Monday night to remove Spanish language assistance and instructions on county phone systems.
Commissioner Hood Richardson says Spanish language translators are still available at county agencies, and he's happy the resolution passed. Richardson says, "There's nothing in the constitution of the U.S. nor in my heritage that says I have to accommodate illegals that invade my privacy my way of life and change the history of my family."
Commissioners also discussed the future process for policy making within the county government when it comes to providing services to illegal aliens.
