Embezzelment: The New Normal???

-
There has been news for the last few months about city clerk’s throughout South Mississippi being charged with embezzlement. Like many of you, I was wondering, when was an investigation going to be conducted about the allegations of missing funds at Lumberton’s City Hall. Well, I don’t know if an investigation was ever conducted, but there’s something amiss taking place at city hall. According to my sources, the city clerk, Stephanie C. Mullings, has been on medical leave and is scheduled to return on January 22, 2013. Another source has told me that the city attorney, Lindsey Carter, has instructed the Mayor and Board not to have any contact with the city clerk. Now, that leaves me to wonder, who is running city hall. I love Sue like a crazy, chain-smoking auntie, but everybody knows (in my Phadrea voice) she haven’t been to any training since the last board was in office. So, who’s doing the payroll, depositing the water bill payments, and putting together the packets for the board meetings? Also, if there is some sort of pending action that is about to be taken against Stephanie, then why is Lindsey dragging his feet. Or is he reluctant to put an end to this cash cow (no pun intended). If this board is setting in motion plans to terminate the city clerk, then they need to get to the business at hand so the city can begin to move forward. I know they’re not dragging their feet because she’s on medical leave. Hell, they voted to fire Hobson before he got off the operating room table. You all remember the follow up, he was sitting at home, bandaged up with his Polo cap on and the crutches at his side. This board had used their personal agendas and testosterone infused opinions to run this city into the ground. Now it’s time for them to pick their scrotum up and do whatever needs to be done to get this city back on track. It’s time to grow a pair and stop using your scrotum as something for your wife to keep in her purse, to pick lint off or as a squeeze toy for the deaf. If you had the balls to support this mess, then have the balls to put a period and move on. From what I’ve been told, the city clerk has been in and out of the office since taking her medical leave. I don’t know what’s going on but I know that something in the milk ain’t right. I will keep you posted if I find out any more details.

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
