When Stephanie Sneed and Raki McGregor sought a $400,000 contract from the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, they pitched it under the business name of former CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings. Jennings says he had no idea the pitch was submitted!
Former CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings tells @wsoctv that he has no affiliation with former CMS Board Chair Stephanie Sneed and Raki McGregor.
That's despite Sneed and McGregor seeking a contract with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office under the name of Jennings' business, JCG704 (Jennings Consulting Group)
Jennings says he met Raki McGregor through a friend and McGregor contacted him and asked for support on a project he was working on to provide consulting services for MCSO. Jennings says he expressed interest in assisting because he knows Sheriff McFadden well. Jennings says he met with Raki and Sneed to discuss the proposal and he agreed to work with them if they were awarded a contract.
He says that meeting was the end of any formal discussions he had about this. He says he hasn't talked to Raki McGregor or Stephanie Sneed in months. He says he has never discussed the proposal with Sheriff McFadden and he did not even know McGregor and Sneed pitched it to the sheriff. He says he just learned through news stories.
He says Raki McGregor and Stephanie Sneed are not business partners with JCG704 and he is not working on any other projects with them. He also says he has no knowledge of any other business ventures between McGregor and Sneed.
Sheriff Garry McFadden released a statement today confirming the non-involvement of Jennings, despite the presentation name dropping him and the use of his company's name.
From Sheriff McFadden:
As discussion continues regarding the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office will refrain from commenting on the broader issue. However, I want to clarify our communications regarding JCG 704 LLC, the company identified in the slide presentation. MCSO has not discussed this subject matter at any time with Chief Jennings.
“Chief Jennings has not communicated with me in my capacity as Sheriff, or with my staff, regarding any proposal or contractual discussions related to this matter. Given our longstanding friendship and years of service together in law enforcement, I believe it is important to make this distinction clear,” Sheriff
McFadden said.

Attempting to BOMB a military base is not sufficient grounds to hold you. At times, I wonder if it is even worth continuing to fight for our liberties when it seems nearly impossible to extricate the West from its deep desire to commit Civilizational Seppuku.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
NEW: I’ve obtained a note to the Black Political Caucus from its former chair Colette Forrest on why the BPC should fully back embattled CMS School Board Chair Stephanie Sneed. In the scathing message, Forrest leaves no doubt why she thinks the BPC should back Sneed: because she’s black. She goes after other black CMS board members for not supporting Sneed.
Forrest said “As a Black Elected, you do not publicly swipe at a fellow Black Elected. As a Black Elected, you know how hard it is to elect Blacks to public office, shame on you.”
For context and accuracy to her statement, it should be noted that every leadership position in CLT is held by a black person. Some were appointed, most were elected.
