According to NC State law such a \u201cNegotiated Sale\u201d can only be done for property valued at $30,000 or less. Otherwise an \u201cadvertised\u201d auction is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, what have your wonderful Cleveland County Commissioners done for all you taxpayers? They have given away $113,719 in property in a wheeling and dealing otherwise secret deal. They have defrauded you taxpayers. They have illegally falsified the property value in such a way as to hide the fact that the property is worth much more that $30,000. In other words, they are crooks. Plain and simple. And they expect you vote for them in the 2020 Election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the Commissioners didn\u2019t invent this kind of criminal activity. They just copied what the Cleveland County School Board did in the attempted illegal sale of the old North Shelby School about six months ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What happened with the Old North Shelby School is the School Board secretly negotiated with Rev. Dr. Lamont Littlejohn to transfer ownership of the Old North Shelby Property to Littlejohn\u2019s Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. But word got out about the crooked school boards plan. Then Mr. Willie Green quickly made the School Board an offer to exchange some property on Earl Road for the Old North Shelby School Property. The Old North Shelby School Property was valued at around $1.2 Million and Mr. Green\u2019s property, adjacent to Shelby High School and across the street from the old K-Mart that Ingalls Grocery Store paid over $3 Million for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, the School Board under Chairman Shearra Miller, Vice-Chair Richard Hooker and Board Member Roger Harris allegedly wanted Littlejohn to get the property in return in Littlejohn\u2019s influence in getting out the \u201cblack\u201d vote to help them get re-elected to the School Board.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, at a School Board meeting about six months ago, Mt. Calvary Baptist Church offered $550,000 for Old North Shelby School-valued at over twice that. Then they refused Mr. Green\u2019s offer using the excuse that Mr. Green\u2019s wife was on the School Board and a Conflict of interest existed. Never explaining how a higher offer could be called a conflict of interest. The School Board voted to accept the Littlejohn\/Mt. Calvary offer of $550,000 and the required 5% ($27,500) was put up by Littlejohn\/Mt. Calvary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And all was well, right. Right? WROOOONG!!! Littlejohn\/Mt. Calvary has to this day not put up another dime of that remaining balance of $522,500. Speculation is Litlejohn and Mt. Calvary never will pay up. That after a long enough period of time, the Old North Shelby School Property will miraculously appear in a property transaction where Littlejohn\/Mt. Calvary will turn a huge profit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oh well folks. When you snooze-you lose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All I have left to say is single-shot vote for Shawn Murphy for Commissioner. And just suck it up when the old Commissioners raise your taxes next year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for the school board, vote Robert Queen, Ron Humphries, Joel Shores, Rodney Fitch and Samantha Davis. If you do that, you will see major changes. It\u2019s just too bad voters and the public didn\u2019t pay attention to what the crooks on the County Commissioners were doing to them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland County Commissioners; Susan Allen, Ronnie Whetstine, Johnny Hutchins, Doug Bridges and Deb Hardin, under the Stealthy County Manager Brian Epley are set to sell (give-away) a piece of property valued by the Cleveland County Tax folks at $143,719 for a measly $30,000 at tonight\u2019s Commissioner\u2019s meeting. &nbsp; But folks, don\u2019t believe me.
