Publisher's Note: I have written several letters to the editor recently at the Sun-Telegraph and they have been somewhat reluctant to publish them. Considering the lack of love for the editorial policies I have for them, I can understand the personal nature of the reluctance. Irrespective of that reluctance, the first duty of a free press is to hold government accountable for the decisions it makes. I post this morning my latest open letter to the citizens of Cheyenne County in hopes that a question of due diligence be applied and that a full accounting be demanded of and by those parties to the EMagine Concepts funding fiasco foisted upon Nebraska taxpayers at the request of Gary Person and Paul Schaub.
==========
Person, Schaub and the County Commissioners need to come clean on the loan application approved for EMagine Concepts.
The local newspaper and radio station as members of the "free" press need to ask how $160,000 could have been approved as a loan to Erik Mullem's company in the face of staggering debt owed to the IRS, Adams Trucking and others. What did Mullem do with the money. Was his IRS debt larger that currently reported?
It appears that Mullem is dishonest in his dealings, but what is the nature of Person and Schaub, who labored on behave of EC like they were paid consultants. Only an open investigation by an independent party will clear the air on this matter and I sincerely hope fiscally conservative residents of Cheyenne County will demand an investigation of this sham.
