WHAT NEXT??? The question! we raised last week about the Rev. Mac legerton, his wife. Donna Chavis and the Center for ; Community Action baa caused quite a reaction from them. ?? Ifce response has been harsh and mean spirited, but , that's alright We have found that any time you demand accountability, you can expect a great deal of reaction. . And again we ask. what do these people fear by . following the procedures est forth by tike IRS for non profit oort?ratioas? Me. Chavis has said that had nothing to do with the money raised for the Sandy Chavis defense. She said that she waa only advising and that a family mam bar of Sandy Chavis was the person to check with about the money. Weil, wo took her advice and asked the relative. The relative stated that she had not seen as much as fifty osnts, did not know how much was raised or dishorned. She is trying to find out also. She told us that she was trying to gat those answers from Mac Legerton It ia interesting to note that over the week end several refr aseuUthss from various funding sources visited the county. Among tboee meeting with these funding people wert Rev. and Mrs. Mae Legerton. On Saturday these phople were given a tour of our county. One of the places they visited was the home of Julian Fierce. Our sources, who also toured with them, tell us that legerton explained at Julian Pierce'a houee that they had raieed and paid an investigator 188,000 for the Julian Fierce investigation. Legerton, according to our sources, also said that monies warn atfU owing to the investigator.... At least he and the inveetigator agree on that point Well, what are you going to do about the remaining debt? Henry Smith, who is chairman of the board of Effractor* of die Center for Community Action stated that an should put our request in writing. Having written to Mac Legerton on three occasions, we wonder what good one mote letter of request would do. However, we will send Mr. Smith a copy of the three previous letters as well as a fourth lettsr of request. Certainly, we are not expecting to see the budget or audit for CCA by writing a fourth letter, but we will do so any way. Afterwards, we wil] go the required step beyond the executive director and the board of directors of CCA to aee a copy of this public information. Board of Education of the Public Schools refused to i _ ??< >?' ??? ? , let Richard Math is address them on the issue of public input into the educational system, they have made some steps that are encouraging. They have agreed to put copies of the budget and minutes of the meetings in county libraries and in each school; and to hold a public hearing on the budget each year during the months before the board considers it Mathis is chairman of the Budget Student Group, and he has performed well. He is dealing, of course, with one of our favorite subjects, accountability. And the board is responding, somewhat slowly, in our opinion, but responding ^to citizens with recommendation indicates that they are serious about our moot precious resource children. We encourage Mathis and the Budget Study Group to continue to be persistent Our children are certainly worth the effort ?*???????????????????????????????????????????????? & appears that our sheriff, Hubert Stone, is not going to say anything aloud relative to the lack of Indian support he received in the primary. We have heard through) the grapevine that he said he would not waste his time in Pembroke at the upcoming election. We hope he is sincere....We felt like he had added insult to injury when he not only worked the polk in Pembroke all day in May, but also brought his son, Kevin, to assist him....Maybe he will do that again in November....Kevin is certainly a reminder of the death of Jimmy Earl Cummings and the polling places k, in our opinion, the correct place for him to remind the voters of that death....As if we would forget, any way. We will continue to remind our readers that Hubert Stone needs to be defeated... We shudder to think of our county with four more years under the iron-fist of Hubert and his son.... We keep waiting for the drug bust that we are sure will come before the election. Here's how that works....The drug task force will arrest about 50 people and then, of course, they will bargain with the accused in exchange for votes....Ptetty shallow plan..,.We encour age our chief kw enforcement agency to deal with the problem....Call in the federal boys and the DEA agents and let's crack down on those people who really profit from the drug traffick in our county.... We are convinced that Stone will not accept our encouragement..So we will remind you again....A vote for Hubert Stone k a vote against the future of our county. | c^fHonq C7/i? ?*. an 8" Spanish moss wreath, 1 bunch "broom bloom," 1 bunch eucalyptus, 9 straw flowers, 10 straight pins, 10 greening pms 144 pages (all In color). * 10 TO ORDER: I Regular I ist Price $35.00; Special American Melody Price S24 is Send your name, addivw. zip oidt' and $24 ?4aK>' anil handling $> American Melody, 123 South Street, Oyater Bay, NY 11771.
