Editor\u2019s Note<\/b><\/u><\/strong>: Folks, every person, parent, citizen, taxpayer and voter should be totally appalled about the Health, Safety and Welfare, or the lack thereof, that is MAL-PRACTICED<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0by the Cleveland County Commissioners. READ ON and PAY ATTENTION. The lives you save could be your own or your children\u2019s. Also, watch the Commissioner\u2019s meeting video.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland County Commissioners, under the leadership of Chairman Kevin Gordon, Ronnie Whetstine and Johnny Hutchins, all three forming a majority of the Board are up for re-election in 2024. Robert A\u2019s<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0persistence in seeking, even demanding, the Commissions conduct themselves in accordance with the law and in the best interest of the taxpayers has these Commissioners doing strange things. The suggestion that Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0might himself run for election to the office of Commissioner in 2024 now has the commissioners doing CRAZY things. And CRAZY-ER by NOT doing certain necessary things.<\/p>\n

Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0has previously vowed to the commissioners that he was going to speak at every opportunity at every Commissioner\u2019s Meeting to keep the Commissioners on their P\u2019s and Q\u2019s. Upon receiving the March 21, 2023 Commissioner\u2019s Agenda, too late as usual, to do any detailed review prior to the meeting, but finding three major items of concern that the Commissioners were planning to do at the March 21, 2023 Meeting, Robert A,<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0this time, decided to say nothing at this meeting. Say nothing and let these fools do what they do best-foolish things. And then write about it. Now, before you read any further, make sure you readers are sitting down. If YOU are on blood pressure medication, make sure you have taken it. Or take it now. You are about to be as surprised as Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0was at the very first action item after the 3\/21\/2023 commissioner\u2019s meeting agenda was adopted-CITIZENS RECOGNITION. Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0did not speak, but three women who lived in the very same neighborhood in Shelby and had the very same problem got up and spoke. Every Commissioner and every person in the room son paid close attention. The Commissioners tendency to cover-up got blown to Hell. They didn\u2019t know what to do, much less how to do it. They were caught with their pants down. And knew it.<\/p>\n

One of the first orders of business for our form of government, as spelled out in the Preamble to the United States Constitution, is for government to provide for the \u201cGeneral Welfare\u201d of the people. And the Cleveland County Commissioners had failed to remember that, at the most basic level. The Health and Safety of Cleveland County citizens regarding deadly illnesses and for citizens to be safe and secure in their own homes and property.<\/p>\n

Rabies has been known to be a deadly disease through out the history of mankind. For the last 100,000 years to be bitten by a rabid animal was a death sentence. Death was the result in 100% of the cases. To immediately safely kill and dispose of any rabid animal was the first priority of every human society. Only in more recent years has a Rabies vaccine become available for household pets that might be bitten by a rabid wild animal. Only recently has a medication become available for treatment of a human that has been bitten by a rabid animal, but it is only successful if the medicine is administered within a very short period of time after the bite. Otherwise, if not successfully treated in time, a person infected by rabies will experience a certain long and painful death. 100% of the time. This treatment presently costs $40,000 and itself requires multiple and extremely painful treatments. If this disease has reached the brain of the infected person, treated or not, that slow and painful death is 100% certain.<\/p>\n

Animal Control agencies, including the Cleveland County Animal Control division of the Cleveland County Health Department have rabies control as the very heart or their reason for existence. The Cleveland County Animal Control reports to the Health Department and the Cleveland County Health Department reports to and is accountable to<\/p>\n

When the first lady began to speak (and the other two ladies had almost the same exact story) she described her neighborhood as being in the 800 Block of Kings Road. Certain neighbors (likely drug dealers as told to Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0by other sources) had a number of large, aggressive and biting dogs. Whatever fences the dogs were in, they could defeat the gate locks whenever they chose to get out. And they got out on a regular basis. When out the were aggressive and would charge and attack persons at will. Biting was common place. One lady, wearing jeans that exposed her calves, showed the Commissioner her dog bite wound. Later saying she had only five days left before she had to take the $40,000 medication, unless the dogs had been vaccinated and the vaccination was current. She stated that the Shelby Police Department and the Cleveland County Animal Control had been out many, many times and \u201cDID NOTHING<\/b><\/strong>.\u201d One of the ladies stated that on one occasion that she knew of, Animal Control was out and a neighbor was bitten right in front of them. All the women stated emphatically that the Shelby PD and the Cleveland County Animal Control DID NOTHING<\/b><\/u><\/strong>! They even stated that Animal Control had refused to show them the Rabies vaccination records, if any, that might show whether or not the dogs had been vaccinated recently.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland County Commissioners were dumbfounded and non-committal about what to do. One Commissioner stated that Shelby had leash laws, inferring it was the fault of the SPD and not Animal Control or the Commissioners. The Commissioners also broke all their silly rules to silence free speech in Citizens Recognition at one time or another. Even Chairman Kevin Gordon didn\u2019t call time immediately when the timer went to zero. And only then when Robert A <\/b><\/u><\/strong>pointed this out to the person sitting beside him.<\/p>\n

The CC Health Department director, Tiffany Hanson, was present but, apparently like the Commissioners, didn\u2019t have a clue about what had transpired. Likely because Animal Control had not told anybody. Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0noted Lawsuit, Lawsuit, Lawsuit several time in his notebook he keeps for all the governmental meetings that he attends.<\/p>\n

Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0also remembered the several reports that he had often heard recently that the men Commissioners were all punishing Commissioner Deb Hardin, who is heavily involved with animal issues, by allowing problems to go unresolved at Animal Control because Hardin had been the single Commissioner to vote NO<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0on the last County Budget because Eddie Holbrook\u2019s American Legion World Series, Baseball, Inc. group \u201chas been given so much money by the County while all the others get so little.\u201d<\/p>\n

But NOW we ALL know that major problems exist at CC Animal Control and LAWAUIT, LAWSUIT, LAWSUIT is certain if one of these women or their children (or anybody else) contracts rabies because the CC Animal Control DID NOTHING. And it is especially egregious and costly to the taxpayers because the Cleveland County Commissioners have neglected to perform one of the foremost reasons for the Commissioners existence-to maintain the health and safety of the citizens of Cleveland County.<\/p>\n

However, there is one thing the Commissioners are right about. They are right to be afraid of Robert A.<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Especially if he finally decides to fun for their County Commissioner offices, along with two other like-minded candidates in the 2024 Commissioners elections. Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0would never have allowed any County Agency let-down the citizens of Cleveland County like the present Commissioners have allowed this bad dog biting incident to \u201cget by them\u201d on such an incident with such possibly gruesome consequences. The commissioners will be hearing more from Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0on this Animal Control, lack of control, issues as well as the issues that caused Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0to go silent on to begin with. And YES, the Commissioners did what he thought they would do on those issues to begin with. So, folks, make sure your blood pressure medicine prescriptions are filled and ready when Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0gets around to that.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned. You ain\u2019t heard nothing yet, (If that is possible with this foolish crowd of Commissioners.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
