Ignant Column: Princeville NC – Commissioner Gwendolyn Knight and Interim Town Manager Maggie Boyd Appeared In Court Monday May 7, 2012 And Case Dismissed Due To Ignance

I am beginning to think that the Princeville 3 Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates, Commissioners Isabelle Purvis-Andrews and Calvin Sherrod are using this elderly lady Maggie Boyd Interim Town Manager to go after the younger lady Gwendolyn Knight Commissioner because if Boyd was thinking for herself or if she would have just read her No Contact Order that is legally binding by the courts against Knight she would not continue to run down to the Magistrate Office and/or the Clerk of Court’s Office to take out warrants on Knight. It actually seems to appear that it is beginning to become a pattern of harassment on Boyd’s behalf. It appears that the Princeville 3 has hired Boyd to harass Knight.

A couple of months ago Boyd was granted a No Contact Order by the courts against Knight but Boyd is so caught up in the Princeville 3 dirty work that she is not taking the time to think for herself in my opinion. Both Knight and Boyd can both be in attendance at the Princeville Town Hall Meetings. So for Boyd to think otherwise is just crazy. Futhermore Knight is the boss to the Town Manager so therefore I don’t understand what part of that picture Boyd do not understand.

Sources say in court today Boyd was telling the Judge that Knight was asked to leave the Princeville April regular monthly meeting. Knight had not attended a meeting since the No Contact Order was granted to Boyd. If I had known Knight was going to attend the meeting I would have attended but the meetings ain’t no fun if Knight and Commissioner Ann Howell are not present. Both Knight and Howell tries hard to do what is in the best interest of the town but the Princeville 3 is in the majority so they can’t get anything done. They are sort of caught up like our current President because he has to fight those racist Republicans on every issue. Howell has not attended a meeting since her husband passed. I understand the Judge let Boyd tell her complaint and then he told her what the No Contact Order stated and Boyd said where you get that from? The Judge said on the back of the No Contact Order explains where they both can be in the same place at the same time. Case was then dismissed.

So what will the Princeville 3 have Boyd to do next? Damn what is the role of the town manager? With the audit findings damn it seems they have a plenty for the town manager to do. But better yet why in the hell don’t Maggie Boyd go home so that the saga between her and Commissioner Knight would end. Oh but that is too easy.

So when will the ignance end?

Princeville audit meeting comes to abrupt ending – Daily Southerner

Response: So why did they go to Pitt County and pay to have the meeting in a hotel conference room? So why did the Mayor excuse one of the Princeville 3 Commissioner Calvin Sherrod and did not let him meet with them? So if Maggie Boyd is the interim town manager why was she not allowed to sit in the meeting also? So many unanswered questions.

What in the hell is it going to take for the good citizens of Princeville to get mad and march down to the Town Hall and demand that the Princeville 3 resign immediately. But naw don’t do that, let them continue to make a fool out of ya’ll. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

Breaking News: Princeville NC – Sources Say The Princeville 3 Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates, Commissioners Isabelle Purvis-Andrews & Calvin Sherrod Along With Attorney Chuck Watts Board Attorney Met In Greenville Today In A Meeting That May Could Be Seen As Illegal

Sources say a Princeville Commissioners met today in Greenville at the expense of the people in Princeville because the meeting cost around $300.00. Rent of the facility $250.00 and for cookies and water.

Because some folks were present the meeting was not held publicly because the recessed and asked those present to leave.

So damn this was money thrown away.

So what did they have to hide. So they didn’t want anyone to know about what was going on with the audit? I understand this was suppose to be a workshop to discuss discrepancies with the town’s budget.

So when are the people of Princeville especially those who called themselves political leaders but not limited to just ordinary tax paying citizens going to demand some accountability from the Princeville 3. It appears Commissioners Ann Howell and Gwendolyn Knight was not present.

I attended the Princeville NC 127 Birthday Celebration But Can One Really Celebrate When So Much B.S. Is Going On Among The Commission?

The celebration itself was great however I get disappointed and disgusted with how the Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates carry out the process. I was so embarrassed but Congressman G.K. Butterfield and the Salvation and Deliverance Choir made the difference.

There were no media other than The Daily Southerner and myself.

The celebration began about 25 minutes late.

I just hate knowing that here we were in Princeville NC celebrating the 127 birthday and the Town Commission has so many issues among themselves.

Where were the Princeville former mayors and former commissioners and other political leaders? Of course the current mayor Everette-Oates was present. Calvin Sherrod was the only commissioner present. The mayor said Commissioner Isabelle Purvis-Andrews mother was sick. She said Commissioner Ann Howell has not been out since her husband died so pray for her and her husband. She said nothing about Commissioner Gwendolyn Knight.

Commissioner Knight and Maggie Boyd Interim Town Manager. Victor Marrow was fired as town manager recently because he would not sign a document to do what the Princeville 3 Mayor Everette-Oates, Commissioner Sherrod and Purvis-Andrews wanted him to do.

Commissioner Knight could not attend because a stalking charge was filed against her by Boyd but this was a second charge. Boyd and Knight had taken out charges for assault against each other. They went to court on Monday February 20 but the judge would not hear the case because he was familiar with the issues in Princeville. So the case was moved to Monday February 27 when another judge from Wilson would be present.

The last I heard the Princeville 3 still has not paid Commissioner Knight for a meeting that the mayor put her out of.

Commissioner Taro Knight Town of Tarboro and Viola Harris Edgecombe County Commissioner and Sheriff James Knight were the only elected officials present.

I left the celebration feeling good about the upcoming election knowing that my Congressman will continue to do a hell of a job. I am pleased to know that the Salvation and Deliverance Choir will continue to make Edgecombe County proud.

But when I left the celebration I did not feel good about the oldest incorporated town by blacks because it is in a hell of mess and it is not because of the white man but because of some ignant black folks.

I can’t wait to see the audit for 2011 because it got to be crazy as hell because some crazy mess has been going on over the past year but not limited to.

The town regular monthly meeting will be held on Monday February 27, 2012 at 7:00 PM.

Breaking News: Princeville 3 Has Rehired Attorney Charles Chuck Watts Again

Sources say the Princeville 3 Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates, Commissioners Isabelle Purvis-Andrews and Calvin Sherrod called a special meeting at 5:00 PM today to rehire Attorney Chuck Watts. The word is they re-hired him because no other attorneys applied and that they really needed an attorney. It is quite interesting to know that Attorney Watts attended the meeting.

Sources say Commissioners Gwendolyn Knight and Ann Howell knew about the called meeting but had no idea what the meeting was going to be about.

Several citizens attended the meeting to question the water bills but to find out they could not speak because it was a special call meeting.

Ignant Column: Princeville terminates attorneys – Source: The Daily Southerner

Note: I reported on Tuesday Princeville NC – The Princeville 3 Fired The Town Attorneys On Monday Night. Damn it is about time somebody go to jail over there because it appears they are doing some illegal stuff. Their actions may not be illegal per the laws as written but they sure as hell meet the qualifications for being IGNANT. The people in Princeville ought to be outraged by the actions of the Princeville 3 and should be demanding that they step down as an early Christmas present to the town. Hell yeah I said it, now what? Curmilus Dancy II – The Political Agitator

TARBORO — PRINCEVILLE — After a heated closed session, the Princeville Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to terminate its law firm Monday night during the board’s monthly meeting.

The heat began to rise between board members after Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates called for a closed session that excluded Commissioners Ann Howell and Gwen Knight from taking part at the beginning of that meeting because it was about legal matters concerning the two.

Princeville Mayor Everette-Oates. ‘you are doing wonderful job–Source: The Daily Southerner

TARBORO — As a Princeville native, I am proud of the milestones of the town since it was incorporated. I am a supporter of the Mayor (Priscilla) Everette-Oates Administration. (Read more)

Note: I am not a Princeville native however I have been following the Town of Princeville politics over the years. It is too damn sad that some folks don’t understand what the problem is especially those who do not attend the meetings to see for themselves. The town is ran by the Princeville 3. The Princeville 3 are: Dictator Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates, Commissioners Isabelle Purvis-Andrews and Calvin Sherrod.

The letter writer says some folks had some trust in the dictator I mean mayor because they voted for her. People vote for folks all the time to later realize they made a bad choice. I challenge the letter writer to see how many people voted during the last election and let us know if you think that the few speaks to the majority of the people who lives in Princeville that chose not to vote. I have come to the conclusion that maybe the reason why the people in Princeville ain’t saying anything is because they didn’t vote. So just maybe they will speak in the next election by voting.

I beg the difference when the letter writer says the mayor is representing the majority. The dictator is representing all of the people in Princeville those who voted, those who didn’t vote, those who give a damn and those who do not.

"I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." – Elie Weisel The people of Princeville are suffering and being humiliated by the actions of the Princeville 3 and it is so sad. I guess if one likes dictatorship one could say the mayor is doing a wonderful job. Curmilus Dancy II – The Professional Agitator

 

Edgecombe County Public Schools 3 Reminds Me Of The Princeville Town Council 3, “Racism And/Or Power Struggle”

Rev. Roy Gray Sr. stated in his letter to The Daily Southerner, titled: “Gray, district needs a black” that Edgecombe County Public Schools board members former board chair Evelyn Wilson, Dr. Evelyn Johnson both black and Keith Pittman (white) voted for him and former board vice chair Ann Kent, Janice Davidson and Faye Taylor (white) voted for Thomas Wayne Edison during the appointment. The vote was deadlocked at 2 meetings and that lead Attorney Teresa D. Bryant to rescind her resignation.

I have named Kent, Davidson and Taylor the Edgecombe County Public Schools 3. They remind me of the Princeville Town Council 3 because Commissioners Isabelle Purvis-Andrews, Calvin Sherrod and Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates almost always votes together at every meeting. Commissioners Ann Howell and Gwendolyn Knight always vote together.

I find it too damn funny that the ECPS 3 would vote for Edison who did a very poor job during the interview process and his main concern was reducing classroom size. So therefore in my opinion I feel strongly that the ECPS 3 want the board to be lily white and they are not concerned about the black children and the issues they face in District 2. Edison couldn’t speak to the issues in District 2 as it relates to the black children so therefore the appointment should have been a no-brainer.

Attorney Teresa D. Bryant is black and was elected by the people. The district is a minority-majority black district and was set up that way to ensure black representation. The make up of the district is 57% black and 8 % non-white so therefore the ECPS 3 in my opinion showed just how racist they are. I say that because they know the history of the district as it relates to why some others and myself requested that a black person be appointed. If this was an election by the people and the people voted in a white person, then so be it but the appointment should have been handed to a black person. Keeping in mind that no white person ran against Bryant who was appointed to replace Dr. Florence A. Armstrong (black) so therefore this is another reason to appoint a black. Bryant ran during the election without any opposition.

If I was a board member and if District 2 was not a minority-majority black district, I would have looked at who ran during the previous election, the numbers and the race of the voters who voted in the previous election and how the candidates responded during the interview process. I will use the same candidates that were seeking the appointment, I would have ranked them in the following order Gray, Robinson and Edison. I have made it known that I am not a fan of Gray however I have stated during the appointment process that I would have had to choose Gray because I would have not allowed it to be personal. I would have voted for him however I would have hoped that Bryant would seek election during the upcoming election in 2012.

I have said over and over again that the ECPS 3 shows how much they care about the children of Edgecombe County and should makes one wonder how much they care about the black children in the county. They don’t want them to have a black voice on the board because they have a 4-3 majority but they wanted it to be a 5-2 majority.

I love it when not only some white folks come to the meetings with their personal agendas but when some black folks with personal agendas as well because I am there always there. My personal agenda is the same holding the board accountable for their actions because I want what is best for all children in the county. Because I attend the meetings regularly and stay to the end when those with the personal agenda comes and leave when their item on the agenda has been brought forth, I can talk about them with no problem be they white or black. I love it when whites and blacks come to the meeting with their agenda knowing that I am there always and they don’t mention their concerns to me but then think I suppose to support their agendas. I don’t roll like that because I don’t give a damn if they are white or black. I have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies only permanent interest.

So there you have it, this is my spill on the Edgecombe County Public Schools (ECPS) 3.

I am Curmilus Butch Dancy II an effective community activist, The Political Agitator and The Watch Dog of the East however I know some others white and black have more names for me but that does not matter because I know who I am and whose I am and I don’t play. Time is too short and there is much work to be done.

Princeville NC – A Special Meeting Was Called On Thursday On Redistricting, Mayor Recessed The Meeting Until 4:00 PM Tuesday, July

Someone asked me on Friday what was going on in Princeville on Thursday because they had seen a lot of cars there. On Saturday I seen a couple of Princeville Commissioners and a former Commissioner at a meeting and I asked was there a meeting on Thursday. They replied yes and begin to tell me what happened. They asked me had I read the Daily Southerner and I said online but I didn’t see anything. I told them I would buy a paper on Saturday but I forgot it so I bought one yesterday, Sunday.

I read about the meeting in the Daily Southerner and Commissioner Calvin Sherrod said the board needed more time. Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates called for a recess until 4:00 PM on Tuesday July 19.

I plan to attend the meeting on Tuesday and I hope there be more Princeville citizens present at this meeting than it was at the June monthly meeting.

I found it so strange that I received a call from the Princeville Town Hall on Thursday but they didn’t leave a message. I called the number and found out it was someone from the Town Hall. The person asked me what was my boss name and I asked who were they talking about and they said my boss at the radio station. I told the person they must have been talking about Bronson Williams because I do not work at a radio station. So how did they call my number?

I understand they called Bronson at WBOB FM 107.3 because they wanted to talk to his boss about him talking about Princeville on his radio station. Well damn I was told that on Friday, July 15 Mayor Mayor Everette-Oates was either on the station in person or via telephone. I also read it in the Daily Southerner that the mayor was on the show. Bronson posted on Facebook that he was contacted by the mayor and that she was going to tell his boss on him. Now that was too damn funny.
