North Carolina State Officials Responsible for Oversight:
Defense attorneys who work closely with (or for) the NCMB state that the NCMB is autonomous, without oversight.
Clearly, thatÕs dishonest, but disturbingly accurate.
¤NCGS90 clearly
provides legislative guidance. This
guidance is supposed to enacted by executive oversight;
the Office of the Governor.
As if gubernatorial oversight and execution isnÕt enough (itÕs not!),
there is a specific bicameral NC Joint
Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee that is
charged with reviewing state programs and agencies. These programs and agencies are supposed
to submit annual reports to the committee, although the NCOSA found that none
of them follow the law as written.
In addition to the Office of the
Governor, Legislature, ¤NCGS90, the NC Joint
Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee there are also
the offices of;
1. The NC Attorney General.
2. The NC Secretary of State (who has oversight over all agencies and businesses within the state).
3. The NC Office of the State Auditor (NCOSA) who reviews state agencies to ensure efficient, legal service and to reduce waste and find and eliminate fraud. Fraud, thereÕs a concept for the ÒBig 3Ó!
If all of this is inadequate, voterÕs registration cards contain the name of local representation by the North Carolina General Assembly.
The Assembly provides each resident of the state with the voice of their Representative of the House and their member of the NC State Senate. These legislators can easily be looked up on their website.
ItÕs their job to represent the citizens of the Great State of North Carolina! They write laws pertaining to the state and to ensure through their many contacts that among their other duties, fraud is uncovered and the perpetrators receive appropriate treatment.
They cannot function without your input! You are their job!
They generally love their job and want to stay there as long as possible by re-election. The best way to ensure their re-election is to do everything possible to help their constituents. Their constituents put them in their wonderful position (thatÕs you!)
DOCUMENT!
To review; please document the problems that you have been through and may be ongoing!
1. Prepare a statement for each party that youÕll contact.
2. Write down what happened to you, what was done to you.
3. Document the interplay of the agencies involved (often the NCMB & NCPHP, the NCMS may also have a role).
4. If attorneys were recommended by any particular agency, note that in your document.
5. What agency recommended which attorney?
6. Did you use that representation?
7. How well did attorney defend you?
8. Did the attorney seem to be looking out for your best interests or just Ògoing through the motionsÓ?
9. Was your attorney responsive to you & your input?
10. Did a ÒConsent OrderÓ come into play?
11. Was any proposed ÒConsent OrderÓ accurate in all aspects, especially the ÒFindings of FactÓ or were there distortions?
12. Was your treatment by the agency(s), including any ÒConsent OrderÓ unbiased?
13. Did you feel forced or Òoverly encouragedÓ to sign the ÒConsent OrderÓ, including statements to the effect that the order would give you a Òmuch better dealÓ than if you went in front of the Board in a formal hearing? (Which by the way, is patently false based on our review of a decade of NCMB actions. Would you prefer to be judged by a Òjury of your peersÓ or a sole attorney who may have an ÒattitudeÓ?)
14. What irregularities did you notice?
15. Was the NCPHP involved?
16. Was the NCPHP fair?
17. Did you have a choice in assessment and/or treatment facilities?
18. Did they fully explain to you the implications of all of your options?
19. Were they fair?
20. Did they provide strong advocacy for you before the NCMB or tell you to Òdo whatever the NCMB tells you to doÓ?
As you prepare your documentation refer to ¤NCGS90, documenting
exactly what statutes were broken, when & by whom. This will provide the officials and any
future plaintiff attorneys with the information they need to prosecute the
guilty parties for an easier, faster, more efficient process legally.
DOCUMENT
EVERYTHING!!
This can not be overstated!
RECORD EVERY
CONVERSATION, EVERY TELEPHONE CALL AND SAVE EVERY EMAIL, LETTER OR ANY OTHER
FORM OF COMMUNICATION!!!
Save all of your information in an easily accessible but secure file.
North Carolina is a Òone-party consentÓ state. If one party consents to recording a conversation (that could be you!), itÕs legal to do so.
If you consent to the conversation that you are engaged in, it is legal to record it without notifying the other party!
Many practitioners feel that the NCPHP is unfair in its treatment of licensed practitioners. There is another option; Joseph Jordan PhD, the Clinical Director of the NCPHP is not a physician. The NC Board of Licensed Professional Counselors licenses Dr. Jordan.
Filing a complaint with the NCPHP to the NCMB is pointless.
Filing a complaint with the NCBLPC about the way the NCPHP Clinical Director operates the NCPHP is a very viable alternative.
If a complaint is filed with the NCLPC, review the American Counseling Association Ethics Codes and refer them to relate how each was violated in your complaint. Be thorough & precise.
Now; Who would handle complaints about the ÒBig 3Ó?
1.
The office of the Governor is ultimately responsible for the affairs of the State. ÒThe Buck Stops Here!Ó
2.
Your local representatives (Senate & House).
3.
A complaint to the US Office of Civil Rights (OCR). Typically, these complaints must be made
within 6 months of any violation, but this rule is not cast in stone.
Explanations by the violated licensee of the fact that an attorney or numerous
attorneys were contacted, state authorities were contacted (if applicable)
without anybody from whom assistance on the matters recommended contacting the
OCR or how to do so. The web based complaint system is simple to
complete.
4.
Public corruption is the top priority among FBI
criminal investigations—and for good reason. Corruption of public officials, either
elected or appointed drastically affects the entire populace. That is why ItÕs their #1 Criminal Priority
according to their website.
Since the NC State Bureau of Investigation, Attorney General, Auditor, &
GovernorÕs office refuse to get involved in the issues regarding the NCMB &
NCPHP, the authors of this site suggest that those who have been subjected to
illegal activity at the hands of the agencies contact;
Charlotte FBI Field Office
Special Agent John A. Strong
7915 Microsoft Way
Charlotte NC 28273
Phone: (704) 672-6100
Fax: (704) 672-6595
E-mail: Charlotte.public@ic.fbi.gov
The
FBI does not accept appointments, phone & Email does not seem
effective. The best approach is to visit the facility with copies of
pertinent paperwork; electronic devices including cell phones are not allowed
into their huge and highly secure facility.
5.
The Wake County District Attorney. http://www.wakegov.com/districtattorney/Pages/default.aspx
The actions of the ÒBig 3Ó are criminal.
They are located in Wake County.
The District Attorney prosecutes criminal activity.
6.
NC State Auditor Beth Wood Beth_Wood@ncauditor.net.
The NCOSA is charged with evaluating state programs to ensure that
they operate properly and efficiently
The NCOSA is also responsible for identifying any illegal activity
in state agencies.
