Wind and Fire by Sandra Stroud
The winds from Gaston county have been drifting in a Westward direction bringing a “stench” to settle over Cleveland County. We’ve learned that a fire has been smoldering in Gaston County for a couple of weeks and the winds fanned the flames bringing a firestorm of news to us about one of our own.
Now, the cover-up begins. We know that something happened to one in our county government, but just how long will it be before the truth is revealed to us citizens? We wait for the revelation! Who will be the first to speak??
Sandra Stroud
Editor’s Note: This “Metaphorical” question asked by Sandra Stroud speaks for itself. Robert A believes that it is obvious that Ms. Sandra Stroud, as a citizen of Cleveland County, wants to know what has happened in Gaston County regarding the Administrative Leave, etc. scenario associated with Cleveland County Commissioner Chairman Kevin Gordon? And what or how or even if there are similar problems or issues with Mr. Gordon in Cleveland County that will eventually have to be dealt with here in CC. It is a reasonable question. Hypothetical, metaphorical or whatever. And, the silence of all the commissioners attaches any guilt for any Gaston County problem or issue upon all their heads in what appears to be a cover-up here in Cleveland County. And if us citizens aren’t informed soon, in full, we must assume the worst. And that all of the commissioners have to be replaced. It reduces to something just that simple. No Transparency from all means NO re-elections for any!!!
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.
