All Eyes on You: We See You

-
Normally, I would share the metrics I receive as administrator of this blog but since most of the elected and public officials think they're not seen because of the few attendants at the board meeting, I wanted you to know that the people are watching. Under the pictures below, you will notice the yellow line; that's the metrics for the number of people accessing tne post. People may not attend the meetings but they're watching you and actions speaks louder than words. I've been doing this for a long time, hoping for change. As a matter of fact, on Monday, June 1, 2015, I must attend court to defend my rights to hold public officials accountable. The hearing starts at 9:00 am at the William Gamble Building in Purvis, Ms in case you were interested. After analyzing my posts in preparation to prepare for this War on Free Speech, I am beginning to realize that you cannot change someone who doesn't see an issue in their actions. We have a mayor that's doing such a bad job as the superintendent of this city and it's his hope that people are so displeased with his actions as mayor that those same people will vote for him as supervisor, just to get rid of him as mayor. Now what now? Winston is foolish enough to think that people would essentially give him a promotion for doing such a bad job as mayor. If that's not warped thinking I don't know what is. Let's face it, the City of Lumberton has suffered during his first two years and will probably continue to suffer for two more years but at least in two more years, if he hasn't made any efforts to do the right thing, we know he would be voted out and would have lost all credibility he worked to establish. But to give him a promotion and deal with him another four years is akin to selling your birthright for a bowl of soup. It's not worth it. Let me be clear, I don't blog and/or use social media to impress people. I blog and use social media to impact people. If you don't believe me, take a look at many of the elected and public officials of Lumberton. Don't they look IMPACTED. (pun intended)

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 ...
