In the end I was not allowed to go on the tour because they said they didn’t have enough hard hats. Of course I had already counted heads and I knew two Board Members, Roger Harris and Donnie Thurman, were not there so that would have meant the two extra hard hats were hidden away somewhere just to say they didn’t have enough hard hats for me to have one. A pre-meditated lie, but I made them tell it. Checking with sources later it appears Roger Harris had gone at the last minute to the hospital with chest pains and Donnie Thurman had called in at the last minute that he had to stay home with a sick wife.
I say again, they would have had enough hard hats for everyone on the school board to have one and with two board members missing, there were two extra hard hats that they had hidden somewhere to keep me away from the tour.
As far as Superintendent Fisher telling me those Hispanic construction workers working without hard hats didn’t work for him, Fisher also said that he would “file a report.” Why should I believe anything Superintendent Fisher says when he has already told me so many lies. Same thing with the rest of the public, Why should any member of the public believe anything Fisher and the School Board has to say, especially in their press releases to the Shelby Star. By the way, no Shelby Star Reporter was present, so anything you read in the Star about the North Shelby School progress is a CCS press release.
But, hey, I was the one who actually saw the Hispanic workers (and I still don’t know whether or not they were legal) working on a construction site without hard hats. I should be the one who makes the report to OSHA. Of course I know a little bit about OSHA rules and know steel toe shoes, safety glasses and ear protection is also required. So, the entire school board contingency needs to be reported to OSHA too.
And then there are all the laws that were broken by the school board that were likely only misdemeanors. But when two or more conspire to break the law, even misdemeanor laws, that conspiracy is a felony. I think I shall make a formal report to law enforcement just to see what our elected District Attorney Mike Miller will do with the criminal element on the School Board. I suspect nothing, just like on the Shearra Miller conflict of interest charge and the SBI Report about school Credit Card fraud. But one thing is sure, the DA will absolutely do nothing unless he is formally notified through the proper channels.
In the meantime folks, this is an Election Year for the School Board. Re-electing Danny Blanton and Electing Robert Queen, Kevin Whisnant and Rodney Fitch will go a long way in straightening out the criminal element at Cleveland County Schools.
See you on Election Day, November 7, 2017. Turn out to vote to make a change.
