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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Robert.
\nYour 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\u2019m glad I have the Privilege of being judged by Almighty God and not you.<\/p>\n

Eddie,
\nYou just don\u2019t know how much I left out of the article pending more confirmation. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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 \u201ccrooks\u201d too for not abiding with the law. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Regards, <\/p>\n
