...and speaking of Eddie Lee, the self-proclaimed Lord-High-Ruler of the local NAACP Chapter, we hear a member of the board of county commissioners was attending a meeting on the far side of the bridge recently and ran into some leaders of the state and national chapter of the aforementioned organization. By and by, the conversation drifted onto the subject of Mr. Lee and ground to a halt, like a boat striking a sandbar. Apparently, the leadership is unhappy (maybe VERY unhappy) with him, as queries from local and national news organizations have started trickling in regarding the highly self-esteemed leader. We don't know what the queries are about, as there is a ton of controversy swirling around this man, but we wonder if he's about to be sucked in to a catastrophic whirlpool of his own making. While Lee's enemies (and there are many) may see this as a good and just thing, such a whirlpool could have negative effects on the local NAACP chapter, leaving it without leadership and jeopardizing it’s ability to remain viable.... but it may end up being a wash, as some reports indicate that Lee's leadership has fractured the local chapter, causing some of it's best and brightest members to leave.
