Board locked meeting door and Dietz "came in the back door." The two also testified that although they didn't see Wike lock the door, he let them in and out. Ms. Nicholas and Ms. Oliver testified they attended a June 6 commission meeting from 10 a.m. until shortly after noon, when they testified they were told the meeting was recessed until 10 a.m. on June 8. Dr. James Wilson testified he attended a joint meeting of the commission and county school board at approximately 1:30 p.m. on June 6 with "invited community leaders." He testified that the meeting was formally brought to order, that the two boards reached a figure of $3.9 million for the current school bond issue, and that a date was set for a referendum. Sossomon. in his cross examination, implied that the meeting was not "secret" or "closed" because invited members of the public were there. Other testimony had it that Wike has been regularly asking people to leave meetings by saying "we're setting to go into executive session" since February 1976. without ever voting on the matter. Ms. Nicholas said Sossomon told her after one such executive session that the board had discussed Wike's motorboat. Ms. Nicholas testified that she and other people are unable to get commission meeting minutes until they are approved by the commission one month after a meeting. She said she once saw unpublished or "working" minutes reading that the board had gone into executive session after adjourning (which is what happened according to Ms. Nicholas) while the published minutes simply said the meeting adjourned. Ms. Nicholas testified she has been denied access to complete expenditure reports (including maintenance and repair of damaged private property) for the Jackson County Airport by Dietz. She testified she never received the report after repeated requests, and a June visit to the Jackson County Courthouse during regular business hours. An assistant of Deitz. apparently responsible for the report, was no'iit his desk, according to Ms. Nicholas. Ms. Nicholas also said she was denied access to the fiscal 1975-76 Jackson Countv Audit Report from April 4 until June 29. 1977 by Dietz. There was no public notice on the public bulletin board in the courthouse at 4 p.m. June 20 for a special 10 a.m. June 22 meeting, according to Ms. Nicholas. Judge Harry Martin. Buncombe Countv Resident Superior Court Judge, is serving in absence of Jackson County Superior Court Judge Lacy Thornburg. who granted the hearing last August 31. The defense was scheduled to bring its case at 9:30 a.m. this morning. Four witnesses and the defendants will be called by Sossomon. Look for a Western Carolinian Special Edition next Tuesday with the full story on the hearing.
