Alderman Rogers Hosts Community Forum

-

Last night, Alderman Rogers hosted a Community Forum with the residents of Ward 3. Many of the questions asked could not be answered by Alderman Rogers; they would need to be addressed by Gibson, Crider, Johnson and Hale. The meeting was quite informative, and the consensus of those in attendance was "if you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem."
Many of those in attendance were not pleased with the grid-lock that is taking place at city hall. As a result, Alderman Rogers stated that he will organize a Town Hall Meeting that will be open to all citizens of Lumberton. It will be held on Monday, December 6, 2010 at the Lumberton Voting Building (Ben Barrett Building next to Ramey's). Rogers stated that Bobby Gibson, Kent Crider, Rebcecca Hale, and Timothy Johnson will be invited to attend. They will be there at different times to adhere to laws regarding the assembly of aldermen at one time. In addition to our local aldermen being asked to attend to address the voting public, District 2 Supervisor Ben Winston will also be asked to attend the event. So, mark your calendars and join in on the Town Hall Meeting.

    I can't wait and see how many show up at this meeting. You better have Ben and Tim there at the same time since Ben is in control of him and Bobby.

    At least Quincy thinks about the people in his ward to have a meeting. Tim will have to wait til Ben tells him to have one then it will probaly be on a Sunday morning at their church. Turn your Bible upside right.

    Tim is so tied up in Ben's life. . I don't know where one ends and the other begins. Tim work for Ben at Ben's business, he votes for what Ben wants at the board meetings, and he works for Ben at The New Sweet Boolah Baptist Church, then he goes home and sleep with Ben's daughter. .Dayum. . he's all up in Uncle Ben's space.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-

I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience
