Report, eritas, reviews, conclusions and Opinions provided by Robert A
The Cleveland County Commissioners, under the direct control of Chairman Kevin Gordon, and acolyte Commissioners Johnny Hutchins, Deb Hardin and Doug Bridges at the April 15, 2025 Commissioners Meeting voted (4-1) to adopt two brand new, totally controversial un-Connotational County Ordinances that creates a Gestapo-Like Power to “shove” their way into private residences and private property to “Inspect” for Health Hazards and Building Code Violations. Such violations include un-mowed grass, worn-out boats and cars, trash, old lawnmowers, dilapidated out-buildings, trailers and other such things.
Note that Commissioner Tony Berry correctly and bravely voted NO in this matter. And Commissioner Tony Berry has instantly become the People’s HERO on The CC Board of Commissioners.
News about these Rogue Republican CC Commissioner’s “Power-grabbing” set of Ordnances is running rampant throughout Cleveland County and legal actions are promised. Both of these poorly thought out and oppressive Ordnances contain words such as this:
Whenever it is necessary to make an inspection in the course of an investigation required by this article, an agent designated by the county manager is hereby empowered to enter, at any reasonable time, upon property where there is reasonable cause to believe a violation exists to inspect the same, but only if the consent of the person in possession of the premises is freely given or a search warrant is obtained as hereinafter provided.
Folks, it was after midnight on April 15, 2025 when Robert A received Notice of this April 15, 2025 Commissioner’s Meeting. But, for some reason, believed it was important to look through the meeting agenda to look for “hidden” issues of high public interest. The meeting agenda turned out to be rather bland except for the Public Hearing on TWO brand new County Ordinances that were set to be voted on only a few hours later.
Robert A immediately “smelled a RAT” and “opened the link to the Ordinances and read both ordinances. Immediately knowing that Hell’s Fire was about to descend upon Cleveland County.
Robert A also immediately changed his MO. Instead of attending this April 15, 2025 CC Commissioner’s Meeting and signing up to speak out in the Public Hearing against these two Un-Constitutional County Ordinances and totally embarrass Kevin Gordon and his three stooges (Johnny Hutchins, Deb Hardin and Doug Bridges), Robert A would simply stay at home and silently watch the meeting video. Let the dumb-ass CC Commissioners vote to approve such stupidity without allowing the Dunderhead Commissioners to somehow claim that Robert A’s simple prescience had somehow caused them to do something stupid.
Besides, Robert A was keenly interested in how newly elected Commissioner Tony Berry would vote on this clearly stupid, unconstitutional, oppressive and politically stupid set of Ordinances. Also, Robert A was highly interested in whether or not anybody ELSE would show-up and speak-out against the incredibly stupid set of County Ordinances. Robert A was glad to see that others had the “gumption” to speak out against this obviously stupid and un-Constitutional processes that the Commissioners were about to unleash on the citizens of Cleveland County. Robert A was NOT surprised that the Commissioner Majority (Kevin Gordon, Johnny Hutchins, Deb Hardin and Doug Bridges voted to Approve the obviously unconstitutional ordinances. Robert A was pleasantly surprised that Two of the three speakers presented very clear and cogent arguments AGAINST these unconstitutional set of Ordinances. Robert A was not surprised, but disappointed that the Cleveland County Republican Party representative stood up and supported these Un-Constitutional and colossally stupid and oppressive set of un-Constitutional CC Ordinances,
And, Robert A was totally impressed that Commissioner Tony Berry would stand up, speak out and properly voted against the stupid majority when such a need would arise. Kudos go to Commissioner Tony Berry. And hopefully many more to come.
But, folks, this is not the END of this silly and stupid thing that the CC Commissioners have set out to do. This is an action that will negatively affect every property owner, taxpayer and resident in Cleveland County. Sooner than later. This is the Beginning of an awakening that Cleveland County is run by a set of crooks and liars who would cheat citizens of their Constitutional Rights to be secure in their very own homes and property. It is said that some folks, even CC Employees, are wondering why Robert A did not come out and support their cause. Not knowing that Robert A had decided that THEY were going to have to start acting in their own best interest for a change.
And, for a start in that direction, Robert A is providing a true copy of both of these Un-Constitutional Ordinances for everybody to read for themselves. Folks, Knowledge is Power! YOU citizens will be called upon to do what is necessary to overturn these Un-Constitutional actions by the “Phony” CC Commissioners Kevin Gordon, Johnny Hutchins, Deb Hardin and Doug Bridges.
And the first thing YOU must do is read these Un-Constitutional Ordinances for yourself. Robert A is providing them to YOU on a silver platter. And, Stay tuned for other information that Robert A is collecting to support YOUR personal knowledge of the corruption that is going on right here in Cleveland County, North Carolina.
