Sen. Boseman must be back on the pipe to be this stupid

Perhaps one of the most bizarre acts by a candidate in an election has to be Senator Boseman's sponsoring a tour of homes under foreclosure when she herself has had millions in property foreclosed on her for failing to make payments.

Boy Trouble

WWAY has been on Senator RC Soles sore bottom since they were first handed a report regarding Sen. Soles beating a kid off with his shoe and then attempting to run him over. The police did not charge Sen. Soles but instead charged a 16 year old boy with stealing a light bulb from the Senator and later charged the kid with blackmailing the Senator. The boy, a 16 year old kid with some troubles that the good senator helped to deal with, told the senator that he would go to the news with stories that would ruin the senator's career. The Senator had the kid, Allen Strickland, arrested and the kid said, "see you in prison" So apparently the kid is talking about first hand knowledge of criminal behavior committed by the Senator and not just juicy porno tapes or pictures incriminating the Senator in some gay sex act.

Betty Fennell, retired investigative reporter and the senator's opponent, went to a campaign breakfast the senator held in Pender County yesterday to ask him in front of the media if the senator can confirm or deny whether or not the senator is under a federal grand jury investigation and whether or not he told Senator Mark Basnight he would be under indictment after the election. Senator Soles didn't not confirm or deny, he did counter accuse Fennell of contacting the 16 yr old Strickland and offering him money for information. A charge Fennell flat out denied.

All this will soon come out but in the meantime the Wilmington Star News in their report of this event held at the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Burgaw, at 801 S. Walker St. said,

In a news release sent later in the day, Soles said, "I came here today to hear from concerned citizens. Anyone who takes time from their day to come and share their thoughts with representatives of their state government should be commended, and I wish my political opponent would have thought better than to impede what I considered to be my community office hours for her own political purposes."

But Fennell said Soles was the one using the county space and time to campaign, as there were campaign stickers passed out to constituents during the meeting.

"Clearly this is a political event held in a county building," she said. "I think this sort of thing should be stopped."

Is campaigning on government property permitted? Can a candidate for for Judge or DA go into the courthouse and hand out bumper stickers without being in violation of the NC Election Laws? Someone will have to look that up for me because I can't find it.

If it is a violation then both Sen. Boseman and Sen. Soles will be under investigation at the same time.

RC and a Moonpie

I know a guy whose father swears that when he was 16 years old he was hitch hiking to Raleigh when he got picked up and hit on by some legislator. This was back in the 70's and his trendy long hair and bell bottom hip huggers made him target for half full cans of beer from time to time as he stood roadside stoned and anxious to jump in a car, any car as he bummed rides from strangers. As he tells the story he was on Hwy 421 in the middle of nowhere with his thumb out when a white Lincoln with a State House of Representatives license tag pulled over and stopped. The 16 year old opened the door nervously to sit in the important persons car and accept his offer to take the him all the way to Raleigh.

During the first few tepid minutes driver and hitch hiker sat quietly then the driver with his effeminate posturing asked if the hitch hiker followed politics. The legislator talked about his job in the House and how it is good to have someone accompany him on the long drive. The two became chatty, Nixon or whoever the devil was at that time became a focus of conversation. Soon this driver asked if the hitch hiker was a liberal. "Sure" replied the hitch hiker, "Absolutely." The driver smiled and asked real queer like, "You know what liberal means?"

Now this hitch hiker knew a thing or two about homosexuals. He was often hit on by truckers and other men as he hitched around the state, so he knew where this conversation was headed, but he also knew he didn't want to walk from Cherry Grove to Raleigh either so he played along.

"Yeah liberal means you are against the war, you smoke pot and resist authority."

The driver laughed, almost giggled at this 16 year old's answer.

" A liberal is a person that allows others to be free to be themselves. It is about sharing new experiences, exploring all aspects of life."

Such a clever man, no wonder he is a politician thought the hitch hiker. "Want to get high?" he asked the driver.

"I've never smoked marijuana" the clever politician said. "You ever let a man suck your dick?"

The 16 year old readied his clenched fist. He had punched one or two drivers before, not because they were homosexual but because they scared the shit out of him. John Wayne Gacy or someone had just been in the news where bodies of hitch hiking teens were found under his house and the hitcher wasn't going to go without a fight. But this man wasn't like the truck drivers or the traveling salesmen that smelled like bourbon and had that look about them that scared you the second you saw them. No, this man was a lawmaker, a statesman and maybe to a paranoid mind might call the highway patrol after letting you out telling them you had drugs and a 16 year old might get thrown in some hicktown jail to end up getting buggered and killed anyway, so hitcher decided to be nice.

For the next 45 minutes or so the hitcher had to endure silly sexual innuendos and slight of hand self stimulation as the driver made his way to Raleigh. The hitcher thanked the driver and thanked God for not being molested and they departed company.

The longtime public servant RC Soles of Tabor City has recently become something of a silly old man lately as boys creeping from the closet have come out to harass the elder statesman with threats of going to the WWAY reporter Ann McAdams and political opponent what's her name, Betty Fennel with tales of sexcapades that would make Boy George blush.

RC Soles political career was created by the Tabor City newspaper as a favor to the old man Soles. Then as time goes by Soles becomes more and more influential. But RC is something like 80 and his dad's close to 100 (not really but close) and soon that piece of the puzzle won't be worth much anymore. Besides Soles has been getting out of hand lately with all the arsons and boys gone wild running from courthouses and stuff have made him sort of a joke in the barbershops and hallways. His last election was by all accounts a squeaker and this newest one may turn out to be just as tough.

The newspaper man that created RC has money in the Boseman campaign. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm serious. The Carter family is a huge supporter of Senator Boseman. Now is Boseman RC's replacement as the puzzle piece in the Senate? She going to tote the mail for power brokers in Southeastern North Carolina?

I wonder if RC ever drove a white Lincoln. I wonder how many hitch hikers there are or have been over the past 30 years or more. I wonder how the FBI was able to target RC in the COLCOR operation and why did they think he would appreciate a thin gold bracelet as a token of appreciation. And I wonder if there was a gold bracelet wrapped around the wrist of the driver to go along with "girlie" finger nails the hitch hiker remembers so vividly. I'm sure there was at one time down the road.

(COLCOR or Columbus County Corruption took place while Governor Mike Easley was the District Attorney of Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus County in 1983)

Senator Boseman - Liar Loans

LIAR LOANS

A category of mortgages known as low-documentation or no-documentation mortgages that have been abused to the point where the loans are sometimes referred to as liar loans. On certain low-documentation loan programs, such as stated income/stated asset (SISA) loans, income and assets are simply stated on the loan application. On other loan programs, such as no income/no asset (NINA) loans, no income and assets are given on the loan application form. These loan programs open the door for unethical behavior by unscrupulous borrowers and lenders.

These loan programs are designed for borrowers who have a hard time producing income and asset verifying documents, such as prior tax returns, or who have untraditional sources of income, such as tips, or a personal business. These loans are called liar loans because the SISA or NINA features open the door for abuse when borrowers or their mortgage brokers or loan officers overstate income and/or assets in order to qualify the borrower for a larger mortgage.

Low-documentation mortgages usually fall into the Alt-A category of mortgage lending. Alt-A lending depends heavily on a borrower's credit score (FICO score) and the mortgage's loan-to-value ratio (LTV) as tools to determine the borrower's ability to repay the mortgage.



Trustee - A third party appointed to represent the investors’ interests in a
securitization. The trustee ensures that the securitization operates as set forth
in the securitization documents, which may include determinations about the
servicer’s compliance with established servicing criteria.




A lot of people are in dire financial straights because they got sucked into what is now being called the mortgage crisis.

Now that the problem is being examined carefully, a lot of fraud is being blamed as being a contributing factor to the entire mess. The problem is that the fraud aspect of the mortgage crisis is hardly over. Mortgage scams designed to take advantage of people in financial trouble are flooding the Internet and even the classified section of local newspapers.

Mortgage fraudsters for the most part don’t have a conscience and could care less if they steal from your grandparents, neighbors or you!

The FBI, who has put more than a few of these people behind bars in recent history is using the intelligence gathered in their investigations to reach out to the public on how to avoid becoming conned with promises of a new beginning, or rescue from their current dilemna.

“And while some of these steps may require you to do a little extra work now in the long run it may save you aggravation, money, and even your house,” according to Special Agent Scott Broshears, a mortgage fraud supervisor with the FBI.

The first recommendation is to get referrals and then check out the licenses of real estate and mortgage professionals with government (state and local) regulatory agencies.

They also recommend that you do your own research on what homes have been sold for in your area. Checking out tax assessments is one way to do this.

Beware of too good to be true mortgage deals, especially using a no money down gimmick.

Never let anyone talk you into making a false statement on a mortgage application. This is how a lot of people ended up with mortgages they couldn’t afford in the first place.

Don’t sign a blank document or a document with blank lines. Something could be added later. Read everything thoroughly and if you don’t understand everything completely get legal assistance.

Don’t get conned into paying an upfront fee to get out of mortgage trouble. Be especially wary if these solicitations come from e-mail or web advertisements. You will likely be out the up-front fee and in the same boat as before you paid for the assistance.

In more sophisticated upfront (advance) fee schemes involving foreclosure fraud, victims are even talked into signing over their property. The victim loses the upfront fee, their house and still owes their mortgage when this occurs. Advance fee fraud has been around for centuries and is merely a false promise of something that is too good to be true in return for an advanced payment.

On a final note, the FBI recommends that if you are facing foreclosure, the best thing to do is to see if your lender will work for you.

Agent Broshears and the men and women working with him have seen their case-load with mortgage fraud triple in the recent past. By sharing these tips, learned from real life investigations, they hope to make their job easier and see a few less people victimized by this growing phenomenon.

If you need more information on mortgage fraud, the FBI has a page on their site dedicated to this subject.

Sen Boseman's Bill Would Kill Children Says Governor

In only the 9th time since being Governor, NC Gov. Mike Easley stuck down the Bill proposed by Sen. Boseman by vetoing it Sunday, the day before Sen. Boseman's fake fundraiser in Raleigh.

The Bill Easley sacked would have allowed anyone with a drivers license to tow a 9 and a half foot wide boat on the roadways, a ten foot boat on weekends and holidays. Currently the law requires that any boat over 96 inches, any boat over eight and a half feet requires a special permit. Meaning someone with a CDL.

The Bill pushed into law has little effect on the Sunday recreational boater. This Bill would have loosened regulations on the boating industry. Can you imagine this law being in effect for the transportation of mobile homes?

But worse would be the dangers the Bill would create by allowing Joe Boater to wrench his huge houseboat out of the water after a day on the lake, swilling down a few, stacking the boat to his thread worn tires on his rusty old work trailer, ratchet strapping it down and driving it 55, 65, 70 MPH down the highway. Easley told Boseman he wanted blood alcohol levels down to .04 for people towing these mammoth boats up to 10 feet wide but she failed to include it, didn't want to hinder the freedom of those wanting to "get'er done!".

Easley didn't like the Bill, he claimed it was dangerous, in fact he said

"I sincerely believe that this bill puts families at risk on the highways and would result in death or serious injury,"

and this

"I am deeply concerned about 9 1/2-foot boats meeting a school bus,"

Currently, permits are required for boat-trailer combinations more than 8 1/2 feet wide, and the boats cannot be towed on Sundays or holidays or at night.

Easley urged the General Assembly to take up the measure again in January "when there is time to thoughtfully avoid the consequences of this bill."

Senator Boseman One of a Kind

The Wilmington Journal is still on Senator Boseman's behind jabbing a pointy stick in the fleshy meat and drawing a bit of blood because the senator has promised and failed to deliver loyalty to those African Americans who pushed her over, beating Woody White in an extremely close election. With 40% of Boseman's votes coming from the black community, Sen. Boseman repays them by using the "N-word" around a child living in her home.

I was watching the show Boondocks this week, in the show a white teacher uses the word "nigga" as he addressed a black kid. Perhaps Julia's reason for using the word has to do with a belief that she considers herself (nearly) black because she can "identify" with vocal hate against African Americans by being a lesbian (dyke), the (I was born gay) discrimination and can justify the use of the word "nigga" instead of "nigger" as a term of hip association. "Bitch you always be my nigga!"

This week, the Journal has once again reported on the "N-word" issue by interviewing one of Boseman's ex-partner's attorneys.

"[Ms. Dunn] knew that unless someone was willing to testify about what their concerns were, and what the fears were for [Boseman's adopted child], that the court would not be aware of that information. It wasn't easy for [Dunn], and she has every reason, really, to not participate because of her loyalties and her friendships with Ms. Boseman. But she did it because she felt like it was the right thing to do for [the child]."

On cross-examination with Boseman's attorney, Jim Lea, Dunn maintained that Boseman uttered racial slurs, that "Melissa always got on her about it," and Boseman "thinks she's better than black people"

If attorney Lea was trying to disprove Dunn's sworn allegations against his client, his cross-examination, according to the court transcript, only helped to enhance Dunn's contention.

Attorney Fritscher said the numerous use of racial slurs by Boseman in front of the minor child was just "one of [Dunn's concerns." Dunn also gave sworn testimony during the child custody trial that Sen. Boseman would also drive after drinking excessively.

Fritscher said Boseman's erratic behavior "several times had come up in my conversations with Melissa in terms of things [Boseman] would say in front of the child that Melissa thought was disturbing."

Fritscher said Jarrell alleged that her former companion used "all offensive language" around the child.

"Melissa would not expose the child, or have anyone else expose the child in that way. She wouldn't tolerate it. That's not how she raises [the child]."

When asked if she was surprised by the allegations of foul language from Sen. Boseman around the child, attorney Fritscher replied, "I was taken aback for a number of reasons, but also not shocked in terms of what I already knew to be concerns about Ms. Boseman."

But then, almost as soon as she said that she wasn't shocked, attorney Fritscher then immediately amended her comment.

"I was shocked that took place in front of the child," Fritscher said declaratively.

Fritscher said Bobbie Lou Dunn had nothing to gain by getting involved in the Boseman-Jarrell trial.

In fact, the young woman had a lot to lose.

"Ms. Dunn is in a same-sex partnership; she has children with her partner, and she was the non-biological parent of those children, so there were some legal repercussions in this case that could have affected her legal status negatively, and yet she still felt like it was important enough to testify about her concerns," Fritscher said.

I find it disturbing that John Edwards can admit to cheating on his dying wife and Boseman can't admit to saying a racial slur.

Raise your hand if any of you have NEVER intentionally said a racial slur in a mean spirited manner. Only one hand? Okay Senator Boseman is the ONLY person in the room that never said the word nigger.

MIZZ BOSEMAN'S PR CAMPAIGN

According to the Wilmington Journal's consistently breaking news coverage regarding the Sen. Boseman saga a campaign fundraiser will be held August 18th at the home of Joyce Fitzpatrick in Raleigh. Fitzpatrick is one of the south's most well respected public relations professionals. She was inducted into the UNC School of Journalism's Public Relations Hall of Fame in 2000.

She (Fitzpatrick) is recognized as a specialist in crisis and change communications. InsidePR magazine named Fitzpatrick a PR All-Star for her employee communications work at IBM Corp. in 1992. She was named a Distinguished Young Alumna at UNC in 1995, ranked among the Triangle's Most Powerful Women by Triangle Business Journal in 1996, and elected to the YWCA of Wake County's Academy of Women in 1997. UNC press release

Fitzpatrick also represented top NC Lobbyist and recently humiliated scumbag, Don Beason as he tried to wiggle out of his participation in the Jim Black cartel. Beason was the person that "loaned" Jim Black $500,000.

The 70 something year old and crotchety Beason was found guilty recently of simple assault, ending his trial on a more serious charge of assault with a firearm for brandishing a gun during a traffic confrontation July 6.

Wake County Chief District Court Judge Joyce Hamilton ruled in Beason's non-jury trial after a day of testimony. She sentenced Beason to 100 hours of community service and continued judgment for 12 months, which would allow Beason to apply to have the conviction vacated then.

Beason had been charged with assault with a firearm.

In court, Jason Batten said he and his fiancee, Chrisy Tellis, were driving to a gas station on Oberlin Road to get some headache medicine when his vehicle was in front of Beason's pickup at a stop light. He said Beason pressed down on the truck's horn for a long period of time then jumped out brandishing a weapon because he was irritated.

Beason's protege' and fellow lobbyist, Theresa Kostrzewa is the same lobbyist that Sen. Boseman bunked with while staying in Raleigh during session. Of course it was all legal because Boseman supposedly paid the lobbyist of the pork, video poker and payday lenders, $50 a night for the privilege. But what might not be legal is the level of participation TK has with this "fundraiser" because in the email sent out by the Boseman campaign the lobbyist appears to be the RSVP contact person and not the party supposedly hosting the fundraiser.


email from Boseman campaign

Now bare with me. You have one of the south's top PR people who specializes in spinning troublesome situations supposedly holding a fundraiser for a troubled senator but the contact person is a lobbyist. If the Journal's investigative reporter Cash Michaels didn't verify this 3 times I wouldn't believe it. In fact I would bet this would have been about as believable as John Edwards affair story in the National Enquirer. But it is true. So why is it important?

This announcement, and it was an announcement, was to alert the Democrats that Sen. Boseman has no intention of stepping down. The "Faux" fundraiser is just days before the cut-off to replace her on the ballot and the Boseman camp's PR team is sending a strong message that they will not go quietly. In fact they rub the lobbyist name into the face of those who dare question it so that the announcement "has legs."

Ballsy move on the senator's part. Don't know if it will win her the election but it will make those democrats putting pressure on her to resign back off.

Bikini Patrol

Last week a woman clad in a bikini top was riding shotgun in a WPD detective's city issued vehicle. Was this a vice arrest by this medlin(ing) detective or a friendly passenger?

The use of government property for personal use can be considered embezzlement. Surely the gasoline used is paid for by the city, the wear and tear paid for by the city. It is a company car and the insurance/liability issues created by using the car for personal reasons violates the law. Surely it violated the public trust and policy.

Embezzlement.

Who is Don Adkins?

Donald E. Adkins serves on the NHRMC Foundation Board as Treasurer. He also signed Senator Boseman's campaign finance quarterly report in July 2006. There is no documentation regarding his appointment or his resignation to the post.

I wonder how soon Mr. Adkins will be talking to the NC Board of Elections.

I also wonder if he is concerned with being charged with perjury.

On April 24, 2006 Boseman forged her campaign treasurer's signature to the same quarterly campaign finance report.



On October 14, 2006 an amended report was sent to the BOE with no signature.





What was wrong with that report that caused it to be amended 3 times?

Sen. Boseman, there will be no mercy!

The most damning evidence Senator Trainwreck is facing is her own arrogance. She will choke on her own words, she will slip and fall on the number of illegal campaign finance violations that will bury her. This forest fire that has begun will be a hell storm thanks to the fuel Mizz Boseman has poured along her trail as she pukes one lie after another in the direction of idiots that give her the benefit of the doubt. But these idiots will soon see the light as the fire becomes unbearable.

I would hope that all of you have read the Wilmington Journal's editorial and the Star News editorial.

Senator's Goose is in the Oven

The former Democratic strategist who investigated and exposed the campaign finance violations that ultimately put both state House Speaker Jim Black and NC House Rep. Thomas Wright in prison, told The Wilmington Journal first and exclusively Wednesday that he is calling on the NC State Board of Elections [NCBOE], the Wake County District Attorney, and the NC State Bar to investigate Sen. Julia Boseman’s claims that she had permission to forge the name of her former campaign treasurer on legal campaign disclosure documents in direct violation of state law.

And Sen. Boseman had to know better, Joe Sinsheimer, the political watchdog who brought both Black and Wright down, maintains. Not only is she a licensed attorney, but Boseman actually voted at least five times to pass the law in the state Senate just last year, after she served on the Senate committee which debated it prior to passage.

That law, NC General Statute 163-278.32, clearly states that the campaign treasurer’s signature on a campaign finance disclosure report “…shall be certified as true and correct to the best of the knowledge of the …treasurer.”

The statute adds, “A certification under this Article shall be treated as under oath, and any person making a certification under this Article knowing the information to be untrue is guilty of a Class I felony.”

According to the structured sentencing chart of the NC criminal courts system, punishment for the low-level Class I felony is a minimum of three months community punishment, and a maximum of eight months with no prior criminal record.

Read the rest of this article by going to the Wilmington Journal website or buying a paper. Call them and say thanks!

Sen. Boseman investigated for forgery

The Wilmington Journal broke the news that the NC Board of Elections is investigating allegations made by the one time treasurer of the Boseman campaign that her signatures on several campaign finance reports are not hers. As a result of the breaking news the Journal's website has been shut down by hackers.

Senator Boseman has said to WRAL that she (Boseman) had the treasurer's permission to do so because the treasurer was too busy to sign the forms. Forms that hold the treasurer accountable under the penalty of perjury.

QUESTION: Why forge the treasurer's name when the law allows the candidate to sign her own name to the report?

A candidate may appoint himself or any other individual, including any relative except his spouse, as his treasurer, and, upon failure to file report designating a treasurer, the candidate shall be concluded to have appointed himself as treasurer and shall be required to personally fulfill the duties and responsibilities imposed upon the appointed treasurer and subject to the penalties and sanctions hereinafter provided. NCGS 163-278.7

Next thing to look into:

There is no signature at all on this report.

Don E. Adkins served as Boseman's campaign finance treasurer on the report filed 7/09/06. Where is his certification of treasurer? Is this where it is supposed to be?

CAMPAIGN FORGERY COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST SEN. BOSEMAN,
by CASH MICHAELS
The Wilmington Journal
Originally posted 7/28/2008

The Wilmington Journal has first and exclusively confirmed that Melissa Jarrell, the natural mother of state Sen. Julia Boseman’s adopted son and former companion, has filed an official complaint with the NC State Board of Elections (NCBOE) alleging that her name was “misused and forged” on at least eight campaign finance disclosure reports for Boseman’s campaign while Jarrell served as her treasurer.

If the allegations are proved true, the result “maybe” a criminal felony prosecution, a state BOE official confirms.

And the explosive allegations didn‘t stop there. Jarrell, the former UNC-Wilmington Women’s Softball coach who broke up with Sen. Boseman in 2006 and recently accused her of violating their joint custody agreement, added that Boseman made changes to property documents that they jointly owned “without my knowledge.”

According to a copy of the complaint to Kim Westbrook-Strach, deputy director of Campaign Reporting for the NCBOE - obtained Monday by The Journal and dated July 28, 2008 - Ms. Jarrell says she is even willing to “make a sworn statement as to the facts and testify if need be.”

“Without my knowledge Senator Boseman made changes in property documents that we jointly owned,” Jarrell wrote in her complaint to Westbrook-Strach. “This concerns me that anything found improper in the North Carolina Board of Elections finance reports may reflect negatively on me. So, I would like to bring this to the attention of the BOE and clear this matter up as soon as possible.”


Jarrell continued, “I have found that there have been Campaign Finance Reports filed on behalf of the Committee to Elect Julia Boseman, where my name had been misused and forged. From the NCBOE website, and out of the reports filed that could be viewed online, I have noticed that at least eight reports have my name and signature on them that have been forged.”

Candidates for statewide public office in North Carolina are required, under state law, to file quarterly campaign finance disclosure reports with the NC Elections Board to account for any fundraising and expenditures during designated periods.

Under North Carolina General Statute 163-278.8, “The treasurer of each candidate, political committee, and referendum committee shall keep detailed accounts, current within not more than seven days after the date of receiving a contribution or making an expenditure, of all contributions received and all expenditures made by or on behalf of the candidate, political committee, or referendum committee. The accounts shall include the information required by the State Board of Elections on its forms.”

Failure to comply can result in “criminal prosecution or the imposition of civil penalties.” All campaign treasurers certify their reports by signature. If the reports are found to be purposely incorrect, that treasurer could be charged with perjury.

Jarrell, who is listed as signing campaign disclosure reports as the “appointed treasurer” for Boseman from January 2004 until May 2006 during the period that the couple still lived together, then went on to list the dates that those Boseman campaign finance reports were filed as of Oct. 15, 2004; Jan. 11, 2005; July 20, 2005; Nov. 15, 2005. Jan. 27, 2006; April 24, 2006; April 20, 2006 and May 1, 2006, in that order.

Per the July 20, 2005 and April 20, 2006 reports, Jarrell indicates that she “can’t tell what the day is,” meaning that she can’t make out what date is actually written in as when the reports were completed, versus when the reports actually arrived and were stamped “received” by the NCBOE.

The Journal went online to check those reports, and indeed, as Jarrell indicated, while they were clearly marked received by the BOE campaign finance division on August 3, 2005, the date of completion is written over, looking as if both “July 20” and another July two-decimal date had been written over each other,

The “April 20, 2006” report Jarrell refers to actually appears dated “April 29, 2006.” That report was received by NCBOE on May 2, 2006

On both documents, however, the “M. Jarrell” signature does not resemble Jarrell’s actual signature on either the reports not in dispute, or the letter of July 28, 2008 complaint she sent to the NCBOE.

Towards the end of the letter, Jarrell adds, “I will be willing to make a sworn statement as to the facts and testify if need be.”

Kim Westbrook-Strach, deputy director of Campaign Reporting for the NCBOE, confirmed receipt of Ms. Jarrell’s complaint Monday, and forwarded a copy to The Journal. Under state law, that document, and subsequent notices to both Ms. Jarrell and Sen. Boseman, are considered public record.

Strach indicated that Sen. Boseman would be notified, in writing, as to the NCBOE being in receipt of Jarrell’s complaint.

When asked if an allegation of signature forgery on a campaign committee finance report is considered a criminal act, Strach replied, “Maybe.”

“What we’re concerned about is…the treasurer, by statute, has the responsibility of complying with [and] ensuring that the disclosure reports are true and accurate,” Strach told The Journal exclusively Monday. “They sign that under a penalty of perjury, so we are certainly interested in making sure that that, in fact, has occurred.”

“If the treasurer is saying that [she] didn’t sign that report, we want to make sure that first of all, we want to find out who did, and we want to find out if the contents of that report are true and accurate,” Strach continued, adding, “There may be some other criminal violations that are not of a criminal finance nature.”

According to NCGS 163-278.32, that treasurer’s signature on a campaign finance disclosure report “…shall be certified as true and correct to the best of the knowledge of the …treasurer.

The state statute continues, “A certification under this Article shall be treated as under oath, and any person making a certification under this Article knowing the information to be untrue is guilty of a Class I felony.”

Strach confirmed that she will be interviewing both Jarrell and Boseman to factually determine who did sign the reports in question. If the two-term District 9 Democrat disputes Jarrell charge, then evidence cold be gathered, including samples of Melissa Jarrell’s actual signature, to determine the truth, Strach said.

“Hopefully it will not take very long, the NCBOE official said. “We expect that people will be honest in their answers, and I have no reason to believe here that that will not be the case.”

“Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this in a pretty short time,” Strach assured.

The Journal called Tom Keating, Sen. Boseman’s campaign manager for comment, but the number he gave this newspaper is no longer in service.

Boseman Guilty

Civil contempt occurs when the contemnor willfully disobeys a court order. This is also called indirect contempt because it occurs outside the judge's immediate realm and evidence must be presented to the judge to prove the contempt. A civil contemnor, too, may be fined, jailed or both. The fine or jailing is meant to coerce the contemnor into obeying the court, not to punish him, and the contemnor will be released from jail just as soon as he complies with the court order. In family law, civil contempt is one way a court enforces alimony, child support, custody and visitation orders which have been violated.

Senator Boseman, in defiance of the judge's court order, took the child of Melissa Jarrell with her out of town without informing the child's mother. She was also in defiance of the judge's order allowed the child to be in the sole custody of an unauthorized person while staying with lobbyist Teresa Kostrzewa. Both of these issues were presented to the judge Wednesday.

Jim Lea, Boseman's attorney, claimed while Boseman agrees that she had violated the court order, she was unaware that she had done so, thus making it seem to be an unintentional violation. The judge heard the defense and basically agreed, however...

The judge was not fully convinced that the error should go unpunished so she ordered Boseman to pay the cost for bringing this act of defiance to the court's attention.

Now I ask you, why would a judge order an innocent person to pay the cost of bringing the charge to court?

Boseman was guilty, so says the big fat check she will have to write to prove it.

Boseman's White Lie

“I take it very seriously what my constituents have sent me to do,” Boseman later added. “Keeping my promises is most important. I guess that’s also my greatest fear.”

“She stood up to bigotry, she stood up to personal attacks and she stood up to meanness,” The Independent quoted Brian Lewis, director of development for Planned Parenthood Health Systems as saying when he introduced Boseman to a gathering then.

Ironically, three years later, Black constituents in Boseman’s district are accusing her of being guilty of exactly those things. Oh dear...

Apparently Boseman's headquarters didn't get the While You Were Out memo issued weeks ago from the Wilmington Journal demanding an audience with the reckless Senator. The question asked was simply, "Do you use the "N-word" when talking about African-Americans?" Yes or no senator, yes or no.

As mentioned before they are lining up to fill her seat over at the Democratic Headquarters. The feeling, even after the big media blitz ad campaign designed to "straighten" out her image, is that she is a weak candidate. A candidate that may jinx the election for some of those on the democratic ticket. I mean come on, 40% of all of her voters were African-American, and she called them a nigger, how do you think that is sitting right now over the kitchen table of some of Wilmington's darker skinned democrats looking at who is representing them and their concerns?

“The veteran community activist, who made it clear that she was only speaking for herself now, vows not only to skip Boseman’s name on the fall ballot again, but tell every other African-American Democrat in New Hanover County she knows, to do the same.

She didn’t do what I felt she should have [done] for my people,” longtime Wilmingtonian Sylvia Colbert told The Wilmington Journal this week. “She hasn’t done anything, as far as I can see.”

Even the State NAACP has words to say...

Boseman’s critics counter, however, that Boseman has been patronizing, at best, to the Black community, responsive instead to the big business interests in New Hanover County.

They say given her current poor record of service to her African-American constituency, it’s hard to see anyone else doing much worse.

“If your present senator had proudly and strongly lifted her fallen colleagues banners and fought for the recommendations of the [1898] Commission—ideas that have deep meaning to Black voters and their white allies in New Hanover—then the question of whether or not she did or didn’t unfortunately used the N-word would, I believe, pale in comparison to her proven commitment to her constituents,” Rev. William Barber of the state NAACP wrote in his June 30 missive to The Journal regarding Sen. Boseman’s disconnect with her Black constituents.

“Voters are human. We understand our representatives are human too. But when their commitment to our agenda is questionable, we tend to judge our servants by their utterances.”

I encourage each of you to go out and buy the latest edition of the Wilmington Journal.

The NC Board of Elections has just posted Senator Boseman's newest campaign report. The senator has over $100,000 in reserves to do with whatever she wishes. So far she has paid her mother $3,000 in rent and a pig farmer nearly $4,000 to rent his pig boat.

EXPENSES:

The senator used $3913.50 to "rent" the pig king's son, Dell Murphy's boat, the Wolfsea. Of course the pig farmers are represented by the same lobbyist that the senator moved in with last month.

There is no mention of any production costs, or ad buys for any of the new commercials Booseman is running on television this week.

There is mention of paying the senator's mother $1,500 a month rent for who knows what.

CONTRIBUTIONS:

There were 92 donations made to the senator's campaign, over $40,000 was received. Interesting, the State Democratic Party donated an in-kind contribution of $4,358.70 for the big "fund raiser" at the felon's house.
