The fact is what to do now to correct the so called “crisis” in vocational education-workforce development is well known. Scrap the crap we are doing in schools now and dust off those lesson plans we had in 1965. Education in 1965 was backed by a thousand years of success. What CCS and CCC are doing now is backed by 12 years of failure. What to do is simple. Take all the good parts from 1965 and leave off all the bad stuff we do today. Teach kids how to read, write and memorize the multiplication tables. No matter what the race, creed or color. Start in the First Grade and improve from there. It took us years to get into this mess and it will take 12 years to graduate students that have good common sense.
This new Sessions Law 2018-15 gives eight appointments to the Cleveland County Commissioners and four appointments to the General Assembly. With the Speaker of the House (Tim Moore) making two appointments and the Senate President Pro Tempore (Bill Rabon of Southport, NC-a veterinarian by trade) making two appointments. Which, for all practical purposes gives all twelve CCC Board of Trustee appointments to the Cleveland County Commissioners, run by the Democrat Chairman Eddie Holbrook who is an employee at CCC. What a conflict of interest that is!!!
Of course all this is a planned political scheme to get “troubled” Commissioner Eddie Holbrook re-elected in this years Elections for another four years. Democrat Eddie Holbrook is 82 and statistically may not live out this term in sound mind or body. If something would happen to Eddie Holbrook like happened to Commissioner Ronnie Hawkins only eight days into his new term, Democrat Party Hacks will appoint a replacement Democrat Commissioner who most likely could not or would not get elected on his own merits. And Republican Commissioner Vice Chairman (and DSS Chairman) Susan Allen would immediately take over the reins as the Commissioner Chairman too.
and we already know about the problems and issues about the very bad leadership and conduct at DSS. Remember the Murphy v. CCDSS Federal Lawsuit where it was proved DSS violated law and policy and had to pay. Yet none of those who were proved to have done illegal and unethical things were ever disciplined or punished in any way. Including the Director, Karen Prichard, who sources say may be forced to “retire” soon. Yet, as of today, Karen Prichard and Susan Allen are still in place and still in charge of a lot of dirty deeds that will be reported on in other articles. Unfortunately, Eddie Holbrook, who refusal to investigate the DSS as requested lead to the losing of the Federal Lawsuit is still in place too.
As the accomplishments Commissioner Eddie Holbrook claims to have made are evaluated closely, the scams and deceptive statements become incredibly clear. Education at both CCS and CCC have declined dramatically under the tenure of Commissioner Eddie Holbrook. Costs at CCS and CCC are way up and scores are way down. About the only thing “Up” are the scandals and frauds. Credit Card misuse at CCS and all the recent alleged sexual stuff at CCC. All under Commissioner Eddie Holbrook. And all the while, the Commissioners, under Eddie Holbrook could have put a stop to it all.
How? you ask. Well, who funds both CCS and CCC at significant levels. The Commissioners using Cleveland County tax dollars!!! at any time during the past 12 years Eddie Holbrook was a Cleveland County Commissioner he could have put sufficient financial pressures on CCS and CCC to make them change their sorry ways. But, official records show Commissioner Holbrook exerted none of the leadership power of the purse to make CCS and CCC straighten up and fly right.
This is a documented fact. All this new law stuff discussed in the open like the law requires. Oh NOooo!! There is NOTHING in official county records that show the Commissioners, including Eddie Holbrook, doing anything to ensure taxpayers were getting their money’s worth at CCS and CCC. So Holbrook had to do something in a hurry to get his sorry record past this year’s election. That is where this new Sessions law comes into play. Show something after 12 years of nothing. “Hey people” Commissioner Eddie Holbrook might as well say, “I am taking control at CCC and Happy Days are here again.” If you look closely at the new law, these CCC BoT appointments by the Commissioners will take years to have any effect at CCC. The perfect political scheme. Promise action NOW, but do nothing, now or later. After the November Elections of 2018 this new law will be forgotten as quickly and mysteriously as it was enacted.
Stay tuned folks. The truth about Eddie Holbrook’s record in office over these past 12 years will be coming out soon. Read it and weep. The tax dollars Commissioner Eddie Holbrook has wasted over the years were YOUR hard earned tax dollars. If you like your money being wasted, well, just Vote for Eddie Holbrook for Commissioner and your dreams will come true. Same thing happens if you just stay home on Election Day.
