Inside Man or Woman

-

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about where do I get my info for this blog. In case you didn’t know, most of this information is public records. The word around town is that I’ve been getting my information from Rob “New York” Mitchell, and that is not the truth. It has been said that he’s been banned from hanging around the police department because he’s been giving me inside information. Well, first of all, I didn’t know he was a regular fixture at the police department and if he was banned from hanging out at the police station, it probably stems from his relationship with Dennis Hobson not because he’s feeding me information; which he is not. Since so many are curious about how I receive my tips, I’m going to describe my sources. The person or persons that give me information is black, white, or Hispanic; they drive a motorcycle, car, truck or van; they live in a house, mobile home or apartment; they are employed, unemployed, disabled, on TANF and/or SSI; they are students, teachers, drop-outs, or college graduates; they are single, married, divorced or widowed; they either live in Lumberton or outside of Lumberton. I think you’re getting the point. I have a variety of people that provide me with info; I don’t know most of the people that give me insight about the various things that are taking place in the city. On any given day, I receive several e-mail notices at lumbertoninformer@yahoo.com and they range from people telling me that they saw Bobby Gibson and Dennis Hobson holding a conversation with Olen Bounds at his place of business to someone telling me the dates and time that Roy Easley is parked behind the building at Wood Hinton Park taking a nap. Despite what others may say. . people are watching and they are taking note. Some of you may notice that I added the display from my Feedjit program on the right hand side of the Lumberton Informer. It shows a timeline of the people that visit the Lumberton Informer. I had this program for quite some time, but since it was being said that no one reads this blog, I decided to share a link to the program that provides me with a report every week regarding the activity of this blog. At some point, I will remove the feed, but I wanted to you see what I see.
Lately, my posts have been rather lengthy, but now that a witness has come forward regarding my interaction with Hobson, I feel that I can finally get some resolution regarding the incident. The witness was at the drive thru window at Bancorp South; the witness said that they didn’t hear what Hobson was saying, but they saw him and noticed his defensive posture. The witness also suggested that I get a copy of the surveillance tape from the bank’s ATM since it may have captured the incident on tape. So, hopefully, whenever this investigation gets underway, I will definitely pass on this information to the one’s conducting the investigation.

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 ...
