It has been reported by reliable sources that CCS School Board member Kathy Falls has threatened a Kings Mountain business owner with financial ruin for displaying a “Danny Blanton for Cleveland County School Board” campaign sign on his business property.
The details go like this: The property owner is out in front of his property when a big black Suburban rolls up beside a Danny Blanton’s campaign sign, the window rolls down and a woman inside shouts to the property owner that his business will be ruined if he allows Danny Blanton signs on his property. The business owner turns around so the woman can get a clear and full view of his Danny Blanton for School Board tee shirt he is wearing.
The woman in the Suburban, identified as Kathy Falls, drives away.
This kind of political and economic threat to citizens and business owners seems to be headed into high gear in the Cleveland County School Board Election this year. Sources also say School Board members Phillip “Bully” Glover and Richard Hooker and perhaps others are telling people the false narrative that Danny Blanton has “ruined” Cleveland County Schools, although the truth is the opposite.
Folks, beware of such nonsense. Cleveland County Schools are in big trouble but it is not Danny Blanton that is the problem. The trouble is Danny Blanton does not have any support on the School Board and is regularly voted down by 8-1 votes. Blanton needs help on the School Board, this is an election year and the good-ole-boys and girls are worried.
I say all this mess can be straightened out on Election Day, November 7, 2017 by voting to re-elect Danny Blanton to the school board as well as vote for Robert Queen, Kevin Whisnant and Rodney Fitch to round out the four seats open for election this year.
I also recommend doing business with those threatened by the likes of Kathy Falls, Bully Glover, Richard Hooker and others who want to keep the cover-ups at CCS still covered up.
