BOLO Meck BOCC Member Ella Scarborough

Could someone issue a BOLO for Ella Butler Scarborough?


Black Female

Age 75

5'6" Tall 175 Pounds Light Complexation

Last known location a Zoom Conference call presumably from her home in May, 2021.

Apparently no one is concerned that she has essentially vanished at least as far as Mecklenburg County Commission meetings go. 

While she has LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter accounts none appear active, last posting to Facebook was about early voting in 2016. 

Shockingly there has not been a call to 911 and Yet no one seems to be too concerned.

Joe Bruno WSOC did this story last night:

Mecklenburg County Commissioner Ella Scarborough has been absent from the dais for months. Mecklenburg County commissioners rarely reference her and have effectively been operating as an eight-member board since last fall. Scarborough’s last appearance at a meeting was virtually in October. While Scarborough was signed into the meeting, she frequently did not respond when called on for votes. But since Scarborough was signed in, her vote was counted as a yes for all measures.

Scarborough’s last meaningful contribution was in September, when someone else voted on her behalf during a virtual meeting.

A records request returned last May that asked for all emails sent by Scarborough’s county email address showed the longtime commissioner had only sent one email up to that point in 2021. The email was to the program director of the UNC Chapel Hill School of Government, and it was just a confirmation that she was in attendance for an ethics training session.

It’s unclear why Scarborough is no longer participating in meetings. Attempts to get in contact with Scarborough for months have been unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Mecklenburg County did not respond to a request for comment.

Chairman George Dunlap says he has not talked to Scarborough recently and does not know why she continues to be absent. He says there is nothing Mecklenburg County Commissioners can do to remove her from the board.

Despite no longer participating in meetings, Scarborough continues to be paid by taxpayers. The total compensation for Mecklenburg County commissioners is more than $50,000 a year. Total compensation includes base salary, general expenses and car and technology allowances.

Scarborough, who received the top votes in the Democratic primary in 2020, was once a dominant force in local government. She was the first female African American Charlotte City council member, serving on the council from 1987 to 1997. She was elected to the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners in 2014.

Seriously odd that no one has questioned her absence. The last Campaign finance report she filled was for 2019. She has not filled for re-election, but few others have either, due to the never ending court cases.

Her salary is paid via direct deposit so there's no way to confirm she's actually cashing a check. Obviously the underlying question is what are we paying her for if she's not participating in BOCC business.

Anyone one else think she's gone across the rainbow bridge?

Cedar Update: According to Joe Bruno WSOC Ella Scarborough is going to take a medical leave of absence according to her children. She's going to step aside not step down. She will not be paid during this medical leave.

However no one has spoken to Ella Scarborough directly since October and even that information is rather cryptic.

You know she's really Garry McFadden right? I know hard to believe but this transgender shit is out of hand.

Honestly, we would all be better off if more pols just cashed our checks instead of cashing our checks AND doing as much damage to us as possible.

This is the elite dream: a no-show job, with influence, no accountability, and a decent part-time check. And I promise you, show will be the top vote getter again.

Do you know if she is still alive? Has anyone seen her?

Doesn't sound like she's been playing with full carton of eggs for sometime.

Sounds like her son had her propped up at her home office for the WebEx calls at least until the smell got real bad. Finally he called for a "bulky item pickup" and let Charlotte Solid Waste Services do the heavy lifting.

But he's got her debit card and as long as the County and Social Security keep hitting her account the bills get paid and her debit card is not declined. Maybe they'll nail him for cashing her stimulus checks but I doubt it.

She might not be dead but the kids are not being upfront and you know they've been cashing her checks.

"The number of crimes committed by members of the African American community is disproportional to the population at a 5-1 ratio. Yet the liberal masses refuse to address the fact that "The African American Community has become a culture of violence embracing criminality and gun play". Instead of addressing this core issue, they dismiss this charge as racism and white privilege."

Now that Ella is found, has anyone checked on Israel with their 95% vaccination rate and multiple booster shots? I’m sure covi is all but a fleeting memory over there, right? I bet with all those shots, all of their hospitals are empty and no one is dying of the rona. Can anyone check on them for me?

Sara Bubans was the worst person to place at the academy … she literally told me during training to handcuff them and “let them bleed”

Has anyone other than her son actually put eyes on her to verify she is ok? If not, someone needs to do that.
