Somebody's Getting Played

-
It seems that someone from GoldCoast Skydivers was upset with me and what was posted regarding their payment or non-payment. Well, if you're upset with what was posted,then you're directing your anger in the wrong direction because it was said during a public meeting that the GoldCoast Skydivers Group had failed to pay their grand lease payment of $100 for this year or last year. In addition to the statement being made, it was also confirmed by the city clerk, during said meeting. But at the special call meeting, LeeAnn ( I don't know her new married name) had written out the dates when the payment was made and presented that information to the board. Now, for some reason, it is being said that the payment was made in December. The only proof that was submitted was some dates printed out on a piece of paper. If they really wanted to quash the matter, they would have went to their bank or their on-line banking account, entered their user name and password, clicked on bank statements, clicked on the appropriate month, and printed out a copy of the returned check. Instead, the only print-out they brought to the meeting was a copy of the Lumberton Informer that repeated information that was presented at a public meeting. Apparently, they wanted the city attorney, Lindsey Carter, to do something about the statement that was made on the blog. By now, they are aware that I am not under the control of the City of Lumberton. I guess they didn't know about the time when the board actually went into executive session, and voted to order Lindsey Carter to file an injunction against me. It didn't work then, it didn't work with Jack McMullan tried, or when countless others threatened legal action. Whether they pursue the matter or not is up to them, but I just hope they took the time to print out a copy of the disclaimer as well. One thing's for certain, I'm not the only one that's grown weary of the skydiver's group. Everyone in Lumberton knows that they are benefitting from the hundred's of thousands of dollars in FAA grants and most of the citizens of Lumberton are tired of not getting any fudiciary benefits from the thousands of dollars made each week from the sky-dives, the sale of equipment, food or the high volume of beer that's allegedly being consumed at the airport. But in the end, someone is being played in this matter and sooner or later, the person that think they're able to burn both ends of the candle will get burned.

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
