Comments for Happy 100 Days of Non-Compliance | Eastern NC Now

Send me your email address and I'll send you not the one lot but the two lots on Gladden Street he sold back to the Housing Authority the one on Fleming street is just another on the list of lots that were bought off of the housing authority and made money on so you can claim all you want that I don't have the proof but I do.

Your claim that Mr. Brooks made the motion to give the $$ to the Housing Authority, then bought those two lots with intent to sell is 100% straight up BS. The lot that Mr. Brooks bought in January is located on Fleming St, not on Gladden St. I'd love to see proof otherwise.

Also, LOL, your whole premise is that the City just gave $580,000 to the Housing Authority. It was $528,000, and it was a loan. I realize there were other items/services given to the Housing Authority as well, but helping the Housing Authority out with discounted or free water, sewer, or electrical services has been going on for years.

Kary you have you head stuck in the sand. Try a simple search instead of claiming I'm making it up. There is NO dispute of the transfer. Washington Daily News article www.thewashingtondailynews.com

If there's nothing here then please explain why it's day 102 of non-compliance with the Freedom of Information Act request?

Proof that Mr. Brooks sold properties for a profit to the Housing Authority. Proof that the City gave the Housing Authority $580,000, and that they took expensive vacations with the money, after splitting the proceeds with Mr. Brooks. You can't just make crazy stuff up, and spout it all over Facebook and this site.

On another issue, a constitutional issue, which you just inadvertently helped me make Big Bob, Gary should not be forced to go to court to prove anything, especially where his government is concerned. He is more than welcome to use his 1st Amendment guarantee of Freedom of Speech to seek redress, and in particular for Gary Ceres, his guaranteed Free Speech is political speech.

The government does not have to do a thing if it wishes to try to wriggle out of that whole transparency paradigm ... but, then again there are the courts, but better yet, there is this inconvenient system of elections every few years.

Changes can be made then, and they can be made at the political drop of a hat. That we should all be well aware of.

Gary,
If you have evidence of illegal activity you should make your case in Court, not the BO. The far right has a track record of saying "stuff". However in court its not working out because you need more than "stuff"

The corrupt purchase with taxpayer money of two substandard lots from Sadler crony Richard Brooks, a council member who should have abstained and recused himself but did not is well documented. I hope Ceres has the technical ability to post the deeds online for all to see, as well as the minutes.

The burden of proof is on Mr. Ceres. I'm not the one making these outlandish claims all over the internet.

I'd love to see some evidence to back these claims up. Council minutes, deeds, etc. Otherwise it just sounds like you're trying to trash Mayor Sadler to prop up Bobby Roberson.

The way this changes is for everyone to get out and vote and vote early which is where they normally have the advantage. Get your friends to vote. If the Sadler machine is running even throughout early voting like they are now, they lose. It's that simple. Election Day voting will skew heavily against the Sadler backed machine candidates and Sadler himself but they normally win 2 to 1 during early voting. That's not happening right now. Get your family and friends to vote and spread the word and share this article everywhere you can. Washington's Tammany Hall can be defeated. They know they are in trouble which explains my missing 75+ signs, calls to Latino restraints telling owners I hate Hispanics, his despicable tactic of telling African American voters to pull up above the orange line where you cannot electioneering so they won't get a chance to talk to me or other non-Sadler candidates. Voting him out and the machine will be the way this has to go down.

Thank you for your vigilance and for holding these scum accountable.
