Wrapping Up the Year

-

This is a wrap for the blog posts of 2010; I will return January 3, 2011 with a new perspective on the things that are taking place in Lumberton. The blog will undergo some changes; it will be listed under lumbertoninformer.blogspot.com instead of lumbertonpolitics.blogspot.com. I am certain that there is so much more to talk about in the upcoming year. For me, 2010 has been quite eventful: I've had my car egged, I was threatened with expulsion from a church, people stop talking when I enter the room, I have several aldermen that no longer speak, I have been threatened with lawsuits four of five times and I have a file full of hate mail from many of the concerned citizens of Lumberton. Overall, it has been an eventful year and it happened in such a short period of time. But it's going to be even better in 2011. I know that there was a recent conversation about IP addresses and tracing comments, etc. but I am not concerned with those that are trying to use fear tactics to silence their critics. I will continue to blog and nothing will be held back. No more allegedly speaking and skipping around the legal issues. What I have to say is covered by the disclaimer so there is no reason to filter what I have to say. The upcoming posts will be explosive and the first thing you will notice is the access to this blog will be handled a little differently. I better stop before I give away too many details, but the changes are necessary and you will have to wait to see what's in store for 2011. Thanks for the private as well as public support. Some of you will receive the new link to the blog and the others. . . well. . . . . . . . Again. . thank God for another year and may you have a wonderfully, blessed New Year.

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

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

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
