Smell that Smell by Sandra Stroud
There’s a strong offensive odor permeating the air! Have you ever heard old folks say that they could “smell a snow a’coming?” They would say “there’s just a big snow coming ‘cause I can smell it.” I don’t smell snow coming but I do smell a strong stench in the air. Something is brewing in our county government and it’s being guarded and covered up by those who know.
Our county government is notorious for non-disclosure and NO Transparency which enables them to make dirty deals without the citizens ever knowing until the deals have been made. Afterwards, they make an announcement!
We never do know the truth as to why some county personnel have left their positions unexpectantly and abruptly. There is never an honest account given to the citizens. We are still waiting for an honest account of the million-dollar check and who was the payee named on the check that was a part of the settlement with the sale of our medical facilities. There is a stench about this for sure!
Something is going on with somebody who holds a high position in our government. I can smell that smell. Can YOU???
Sandra Stroud
Editor’s Note: This “Prophesy” by Sandra Stroud speaks for itself. Robert A calls this a Prophesy because Ms. Stroud sent this comment to him in a letter Post Marked March 31, 2023. The very same day that Robert A published his article about CC Commissioner Kevin Gordon being placed on “Administrative Leave” over in Gaston County. And additional bad news is expected soon. Stay tuned folks. This appears to be a MAJOR SCANDAL of epic proportions with plenty more to come.
Sandra P. Stroud
Editor’s Note: Ms. Sandra Stroud is a fearless Champion of right and proper government in Cleveland County and the US. When Prayer at the beginning of School Board Meetings was the issue, Sandra Stroud stood up and voiced her strong support in front of 600+ citizens. When Shelby Schools refused to teach a deaf child, Sandra Stroud single-handedly made Shelby Schools mend their ways. When the Cleveland County Commissioners surrendered to a Federal Lawsuit against them by agreeing to a settlement that was Un-Constitutional; Sandra Stroud put her name and money behind a Federal Lawsuit and took the Cleveland County Commissioners to the US Federal Courts in Washington, DC and made the Commissioners mend their cowardly ways. When Sandra Stroud sends me her messages, I publish them. Word for Word. Sometimes satire, sometimes prose. When Sandra Stroud speaks, Robert A listens. When Sandra Stroud writes, Robert A publishes. If there is a typo, misspelling or unclear language, that is Robert A’s, mistake, not Sandra Stroud.
Folks, there are more citizens like Sandra Stroud and Robert A in Cleveland County that want bullying stopped in our schools and in our School Board and education improved. We want no more corruption like what was found out about the Catawba Casino, the bribed sale of our hospital for 2 cents on the dollar, endless sales tax increase referendums, endless property revaluations where Cleveland County has deployed drones to peep into our bedroom windows looking for whatever it is that they can use to raise property taxes over. And it goes on and on.
Stay tuned folks. If you want the truth, the whole truth and justified and logical speculation, you will get it here and perhaps not anywhere else in the same detail and depth of understanding. Also, folks, if you want to throw YOUR 2 cents into our knowledge base or just share your opinion, send it to Robert A. Your identity will be protected. It is completely understood that RETALIATION is alive and well in Cleveland County.
