Commissioner Eddie Holbrook responds to Article regarding his playing the Race Card in the 2018 Primary Election!!! Provided by Robert A. Williams

Please find below Commissioner Eddie Holbrook’s response and my reply to Mr. Holbrook’s email regarding my article titled “Commissioner Eddie Holbrook Playing the Race Card.” I am totally transparent in my reporting on the shenanigans within Cleveland County Governmental Agencies and wish those agencies would be transparent too. If they were truly transparent AND truthful, I would have better things to do. Especially around Election time.

In this case, I believe Commissioner Holbrook’s response is a publicity stunt and his association with the black community may not be what Holbrook implies that it is. Please go back and read my original article at you convenience.

Robert.
Your message is so full of untruths and lied it does. It even deserve a response. Check my assoc with the black community back to the 60s. I am extremely. Disappointed in such an error filled and false accusation piece by you. I’m glad I have the Privilege of being judged by Almighty God and not you.

Eddie,
You just don’t know how much I left out of the article pending more confirmation.

Since you did not identify any specific or particular item that you object to, I can only assume your response, such as it is, is just a publicity stunt.

Also, you forget that I have attended most Cleveland County Commissioner Meetings over the years and have watched you and the other Commissioners and checked behind your actions.

I have been disappointed for a long time myself in what I see going on. In particular your latest response (through Phyllis) to my request for public documents that demands I pay almost $60,000 for a million copies, when I have only asked to inspect the related documents, which by North Carolina law is free of charge. A total disregard for the law that I have sent to you for your own read. Perhaps I should be calling all you Commissioners “crooks” too for not abiding with the law.

Anyway, my sources have provided me what I believe are true accounts of everything described in this article. Some of the information I have witnessed for myself.

So, if you want to discuss any item you believe to be untrue, please so describe those items and perhaps we can talk about them. Otherwise, I stand behind every word.

Of course you have the option of filing a lawsuit against me, in which case I believe I would prevail. I also believe I would prevail in judgment by the Almighty God you mentioned.

Regards,

Robert A. Williams
