City Elders Makes the News Again


City Elders Makes the News Again
 
The liberal Oklahoma Gazette published a story abut Jesse Rodgers and the City Elders bunch a few weeks back, rehashing the Frontier story that laid out the facts that Rodgers has no church, no congregation, but he does have a $4000 a year tax exemption on his personal home by calling it a parsonage.
We are digging deeper into the City Elder Board members and supporters. Two in particular are interesting, Bill Shepherd of Tulsa County and Daniel Navejas of Lincoln County. Both claim to be Godly men, preachers, both have horrendous court records. We will run stories on them soon.
 
Bill Shepard had an arrest warrant out for him that forced him to pay something like $80,000 in back due child support in a decade long divorce and custody case. Shepherd also was sued many times and sued a few times, some of which he stopped showing up and lost. He seems to like to not pay his attorneys too.
 
Daniel Navajas also has a similar record. One arrest warrant for a hot check that he appears to have paid off to get the charges dropped. We are working on getting the full details. And numerous lawsuits and evictions, small things like speeding in a school zone, you know, things that Jesus would do.
