Don't Start No S.H. and It Won't Be No I.T.

-

Apparently, Roy Easley is not pleased with his debut on the Lumberton Informer. What is wrong with these folks; do they think it’s still 1950. I’m sorry to tell you this, but your time machine must not be working because we have an African-American in the White House as well as the first African-American woman serving as Mayor of Lumberton. I know you think you’re the new massah on the Public Works plantation, but I’m free (mind, body and soul). Just because you have the majority of people on the board wiling to stand behind you and give you the keys to the city does not mean you have control over what I say on this blog. If you were not sleeping behind the concession stand at the baseball field at Wood Hinton Park, then swear to it on a bible and I will more than happy to give you a print out of the e-mail that stated the dates and times you were over there sleeping while on the clock. I’m certain that it gave our city clerk a great deal of joy to read the post to you (and yes, I am certain that it was read to you for obvious reasons), but it does not change anything about what was said in today’s post. You may be able to finagle the votes in your favor, but they can’t take a vote to stop me from blogging. For the record, I see Roy almost every Sunday; you’re either at Ramey’s shopping or at the Shell Station . So, the next time you see me getting my Sunday newspapers, feel free to vent about the blog then. Until then . . .sweet dreams.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
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 ...
