CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATE CAUGHT PARKING ILLEGALLY IN A HANDICAPPED SPACE MARKED VAN ACCESSIBLE - STATE LAW DICTATES THESE SPACES ARE FOR INDIVIDUAL THAT USE MOBILITY DEVICES

YES, ARKANSAS DESERVES BETTER THAN FULTS

Yesterday, our publisher made a quick trip to Home Depot in West Little Rock. He noticed a car parked in a handicapped parking space that had "Fults for Senate" magnetic signs on both driver and passenger doors.  The car, a small Hyundia sedan, did have a blue handicapped hang tag hanging on the rear view mirror, but was parked in a spot designated for vehicles that have an additional sticker on the license plate, the one that allows you to park in a van accessible handicapped parking space. 

To park in a space like this, your vehicle must display the Van Accessible sticker on the license plate.

This is what the sticker looks like. This one is on the vehicle of our publisher's mother, who uses a mobility device and can legally park in a space like the one the Fults' illegally parked in on Sunday morning.

THE VAN ACCESSIBLE STICKER PERMITS PARKING IN A HANDICAPPED SPACE MARKED VAN ACCESSIBLE

Fluts' vehicle had no such sticker. That is a violation of Arkansas Code Annotated 25-15-315.

To get a sticker to park in a spot marked van accessible, your doctor has to sign this form:

Our publisher did not observe either candidate Fults or her hubby using a mobility device.

Oddly enough, the bill that became this law was sponsored by Rep. Andy Mayberry who soundly defeated Fults back in 2016.

Maybe she ignores the law because she is still butthurt over her lose to to Mayberry, or she doesn't think the law applies to her or her husband.

This is from a press release issued by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration back on November 8, 2017.

According to DFA spokesman Scott Hardin, whose agency handles complaints about folks illegally parking in handicapped space like the Fults' did, if a complaint was/is filed about Fults parking in the van accessible spot without the corresponding sticker, a letter would be sent to her or her husband advising them of the law.

Harding also stated that if multiple reports come in where a vehicle is repeatably reported committing the same violation, DFA will call the appropriate police agency and have the immediately go and try and ticket the vehicle.

Our publisher posted about this incident on our Facebook page yesterday.

A friend of ours sent a message that Fults sent him via Facebook messenger.

Fults claimed her husband spoke with the manager at Home Depot and that the manager agreed that the signs were in the wrong place and was going to move them

That is a lie.

We spoke with that manager, whose name is Ahmad, and he told us that Mr. Fultz came back into the store all pissed off and asked to speak with a manager. Mr. Fultz was ranting about the sign and stripes being in the wrong place.

GARY FULTZ

Ahmad said that he told Gary Fultz that they were not incorrectly placed, but were exactly where they were supposed to be.

Ahmad told us that Mr. Fultz could not grasp the concept. We are not surprised after having contact with him ourselves.

Ahmad explained that the spaces are set up so that folks that have vehicles like these can utilize those spaces.

Ahmad went on to explain that the stripes are set up to give vehicles that have mobility devices that enter and leave the vehicle on either the right or left hand sides an area to get in or out of the vehicle.

That is what Gary Fultz could not grasp. And as previously mentioned we are not surprised.

Ahmad said the signs would not be moved as they were in their proper place already and that never told Mr. Fultz that they would be moved.

Candidate Fults ignored that she and her husband were illegally parked tried to spin the situation saying that her hubby pulled way over to the right.

He could have parked halfway up on the berm and he would have still been parking illegally in a spot that required a sticker to indicate that a doctor certified that someone in the vehicle used a mobility device and could get a sticker to park in a van accessible spot.

Arkansas does not need anymore legislators that think that they are above the law.

Fults falls into that category.

SHENNIGANS IN NWA CIRCUIT COURT WITH OUR AFOIA DENIAL OF RIGHTS LAWSUIT AGAINST FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Our AFOIA Denial of Rights case against Fayetteville Public Schools was transferred to a shit judge, Doug Martin. 

Martin was censured in 2014 for a laundry list of violations. Click here to view the censure document.

Martin was recently involved in a controversial case in which he blocked television ads that were targeted at the Judge Courtney Goodson, Martin recused after issuing an order stopping the ads after it was blasted out that his own wife had a business relationship with Goodson's husband. 

The AFOIA requires out hearing to be held no later than August 6th, the same day the Martin returns from vacation He should do the right thing and flop this case and the related Jane Doe (Shae Newman) one back to Judge Threet.

FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL ATTORNEY CHRIS LAWSON REVEALS NAME OF "JANE DOE" EMPLOYEE AS SHAE NEWMAN - NEWMAN IS SUING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PREVENT RELEASE OF MATERIAL THAT HER ATTORNEY SUZANNE CLARK HAS ALREADY MADE PUBLIC

SHAE LYNN NEWMAN, A.K.A., "JANE DOE" - DOES NOT WANT MORE DETAILS OF HER BAD BEHAVIOR MADE PUBLIC

In our last post we reported of our filing a Denial of Rights under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act against the Fayetteville Public School ("FPS") Superintendent John L. Colbert. You can read it by clicking here. 

Chris Lawson is the General Counsel for FPS and he graciously confirmed her identity for us today. To view the all the documents click here.

We had guessed it already based on a detailed document Newman's own attorney Suzanne Clark made public back in April. You can view it by clicking here.

CHRIS LAWSON

 

SUZANNE CLARK

Why Lawson decided to out Newman is a question only he can answer. But our investigation into Lawson gives us a good idea.

Former FPS Superintendent Matthew Wendt hired Lawson and could not say enough nice things about him. You can read it all by clicking here.

ADULTERER WENDT AND HIS WIFE DAWN

When the shit hit the fan at FPS for Wendt due to his screwing around with his secretary, Mrs. Newman, he hired Lawson's former law firm to represent him.

Coincidence? Hell no.

Lawson covered for Wendt back in April by refusing to cooperate with our FOI request at the time and he finally caved in when we told him of our intent to post his bullshit excuses for not providing the requested documents and blog about him and his shenanigans.

Mrs. Clark is the wife of Steve Clark, the  former Arkansas Attorney General convicted of illegally spending public funds.

STEVE CLARK

The publisher of this blog was contacted by investigators back during the investigation into Clark's theft by deception charges as he was a state employee back in those days and had been treated to lunch by Clark after a meeting. Investigators wanted to know if Clark had in fact taken him to lunch or used his name on an expense report to cover a theft of funds.

Steveo had high praise for his wife in an article about her in the Northwest Arkansas edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette back in February.

Well, if her engineering is anything like her lawyering... you get the picture.

Mrs. Clark screwed the pooch and her client with her April document.

It will cause her to lose the lawsuit she filed on behalf of Shae "Jane Doe" Newman against FPS attempting to  prevent release the documents that we and others that made under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. A request that even ole Leslie Rutledge has opined is a legitimate and legal one. You can view the "Jane Doe" /Shae Newman filing by clicking here.

Sloppy Mrs. Clark gave out way too much identifying information about her client in that April document and we had little difficulty in determining her identity from all the clues provided.

Clark gave sordid details of Wendt's and Newman's sexual infidelity and to now try and say release of the documents used in the firing of Wendt after she released details herself is a violating of Newman's privacy is simply ludicrous.

We have already given you a link to Clark's full document but here are some of the juicer bits from Newman's statement:

Surely anyone that worked for FPS could tell that Clark's client was Newman. We found out her identity in a matter of minutes with all the clues provided.

 Then the salacious stuff is dished out:

According to Newman's statement, she told her best friend and a sister about her infidelity with Wendt. Seems she told everyone close to her except her cuckolded husband.

Newman could have and should told her husband if she was really being forced to have a sexual relationship with Wendt. Hell, her best friend or sister could have notified the authorities - taking a person across state lines for sex is a federal crime.

Examples of text messages don't give any hint what Newman wrote in response to Wendt's messages. See for yourself:

It will be interesting to listen to the recording that was provided to Lawson on March 15th as well as what Newman wrote to Wendt when we win our lawsuit against FPS in the coming week.

No doubt Lawson and Clark have opened themselves up to having complaints file against them with the Office of Professional Conduct. Complaints that will  be easily substantiated. 

BTW - Wendt was sued for taking around $180K from a school district that once employed him. You can read the complaint by clicking here.

Stay tuned for updates.  This circus will be in town for a while.

***UPDATE 7/25/18 8:00 a.m.***

The attorney for Shae Newman, a.k.a. "Jane Doe" has filed a Motion to Seal yesterday to keep Newman's text messages to her adulterous lover and former boss Dr. Matthew Wendt secret.

Several sources have told us that the other individuals that were provided notice of our AFOIA request for documents concerning Wendt's firing may not be "innocent parties".

We are digging into these allegations and will post more updates as information and documents become available.

Our sources also point out that only after Newman did not receive the PE position at Holcomb in January, as she was promised, that she started refusing to continue the relationship with Wendt.  Newman was was offered and took this position the day after he was fired.

Missy McJunkins Duke, the outside counsel hired by FPS since in house counsel Chris Lawson is not up to the task, filed an answer to the complaint filed by "Jane Doe"/Shae Newman.  

 

You can view the full document by clicking here.

 

MISSY MCJUNKINS DUKE

We are filing a motion to be included in the "Jane Doe"/Shae Newman case as a third party intervenor  to protect our rights under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. 

That should make things a little more interesting.

Stay tuned for additional updates.

FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT JOHN COLBERT SUED OVER VIOLATION OF ARKANSAS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

The full complaint can be viewed by clicking here.

Newly hired Fayetteville Public School Superintendent John L. Colbert has decided to violate the rights of our publisher under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. 

COLBERT

Our publisher requested documents concerning the firing of Colbert's former boss,  Matthew Wendt back on June 19th.

WENDT

FPS attorney Missy Duke claims Colbert can't release the documents because someone, probably Wendt, has told Colbert that he will seek "intervention" from the court to prevent release of the public records regarding his firing.

DUKE (on right)

FPS has no right to withhold the requested records no matter what Wendt or anyone else threatens to do.

Wendt's attorneys requested an opinion from Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge after the FPS had determined that the documents were releasable under the AFOIA.

Rutledge's opinion was clear and direct - the material sought was releasable under the AFOIA. You can read it by clicking here.

Rutledge even went so far to mention that Wendt's text messages, used in his termination and sought by our publisher, reflected the "lack of performance of official functions" and were releasable under the AFOIA. Way to go Leslie!

Rutledge lost a lawsuit filed against her and the Arkansas State Police and she has cited that loss in a recent AG's Opinion. You can view that opinion by clicking here  - see page 7 - Rutledge was the "et al".

The lawsuit filed by our publisher will have to be heard in seven days, and Wendt's attorney's won't be able to serve our publisher notice before then.

Our publisher has fought and won several similar AFOIA lawsuits, the most recent one against befouled Little Rock Police Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner.

The Fayetteville School Board voted unanimously to fire Wendt on June 18th following a sexual harassment investigation.

The attorney of the woman who filed the complaint against Wendt released the document in a press release on June 14th.

The woman said her problems with Wendt began in September 2017 with an invitation to meet "a group of employees after a Saturday employee retreat." But when she arrived, no one else showed up except Wendt.

While the two were there, she said he "pulled my face around and kissed me."

After that incident, she received texts from Wendt to meet at a hotel. She eventually met him at the hotel where they had drinks and had sex in October 2017. 

The woman said it was "the biggest mistake I've ever made."

Wendt allegedly requested the two start a relationship and when she refused, she said Wendt started driving by her house.

The behavior would escalate until a sexual harassment complaint was filed on May 25th with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
