Jackson Jambalaya

Crisler can suck it.

Thanks.

I think Crisler would have benefited by showing voters more of the humility in this video than the scripted pomposity he's shown on the trail. Somehow he's been duped by his handlers that bravado and bullshit sells.

Though Ward 1, Belhaven and Fondren sure did suck it up.

Write in candidate - Kingfish! or Weill!

From a frustrated old geezer Republican....I honestly considered staying home but just don't do that. It looks like I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Crisler. Can't stomach Harvey.

From a frustrated young(?) Republican, I can't stomach EITHER. Just didn't appreciate the BS Crisler dropped in my ward 1 mailbox.

By the way, its a really great house y'all! Please buy it so I can move to Madison... takers??

This is only remotely appropo of this thread but is driving me crazy: what was the name of the firm Harvey spent millions with for studies (and boy that was money well spent)?

Yeah, the Harvey that used to run Jackson is a shell of the Harvey today. They even got Horhn today claiming that Crisler is the one who tried to buy his endorsement. I'll let you figure out what media source is peddling that trash.

No really don't guess too hard!

Yeah, I think the bugle is tooting their tin horn on other blogs (since apparently no one reads their blog).

hey stilletto; go ahead and move. your capitol city will only suffer by more flight. then you can sit in madison, wash your hands of the problem, and prepare for your future move into the new suburbs in yazoo county in 2025.

yay!

What's your zip? I'll just move in with you. yay!

Since we're talking about Marshand Crisler, let me first say I live in Ward 6 and believe it or not, a lot of law abiding, hard working people do.

First of all, if you lived there, you'd know that Marshand Crisler has done NOTHING for the ward in 8 years. He's doing well if he knows where it is.

Second, if McMillan wants to be Mayor then he needs to move back to Jackson from Clinton and run. I don't need him as a "quasi" Mayor using Crisler as the front man.

Third, Marshand Crisler obviously didn't like the title of representative for Ward 6. He repaid the voters who gave him that title by doing NOTHING. Maybe if you give him a bigger title - Mayor, then he'll do something. I wouldn't count on it though; but at least Ward 6 is rid of him and trust me, we are all very glad of that.

hey stilletto; go ahead and move. your capitol city will only suffer by more flight. then you can sit in madison, wash your hands of the problem, and prepare for your future move into the new suburbs in yazoo county in 2025.

Had to know it was only a matter of time before the contagion theorists would crawl out from underneath their rocks. Did you tie McMillin's shoes for him this morning or merely wipe his ass?

I'm just enjoying watching the free press twirl. You know the paper that demanded we talk about "issues" this election so the people would be educated this time. I bet if KF did a study on the JFP's reproting this year, they would find very little was written over there about the issues facing the city.

What issues did you want to see discussed that haven't been?

@3:36:

I am not sure about the "contagion theory"; but I do have eyes. I have lived here for 27 years. I have lived in bigger cities (Denver) for several years. What I know is that moving out of a city and destroying its tax base does not create a solution for the city.

The area north of County Line Road is a perfect example. People left the city to go to the burbs, the burbs made ridiculous deals to draw out business and didn't get tax dollars for two decades. Now, when they finally stand to get those dollars, the population is moving further north because they perceive that area to be "declining".

It is fairly simple. The metro population hasn't grown substantially overall in twenty years; but the white population continues to funnel out of the areas that they think are "declining" (read: blacks moving in).

Put a stop to the moving! Get to know your neighbors! Get involved in your community and don't let crime get out of hand by being vigilant!

When you leave, you hurt the whole metro area.

My zip, by the way, is 39202. Go ahead and bang away. Let me do it for you: Belhaven liberal! Crunchy moron! Got it.

I would rather stay and support the many local businesses cropping up in Fondren, Belhaven, South State Street, etc., and be proud that this place has many "green shoots".

You can bash, but it won't help anything. Instead, make a call to your neighborhood association and see what you can do to make things better.

Don't me wrong, I'm all 'projack' and everything (jesus did I just write that), I love NE Jackson, we're JA'ers, active where we live, yada yada.. its just a matter of safety sometimes. So yeah, when I can.. I'm headed North.

In the mean time, I'm packin a glock.

(sorry KF that we got off of mayor and got on geography and, "contagion theories"? not even gonna lie, had to look that one up)

I hope Jackson withers and dies like all the other cities that whites flee from only to have them return and buy the exact same property for pennies on the dollar, evict all the crackheads and build luxurious high rise loft apartment buildings and retail stores that the scum may never penetrate again.

Hold on Pearl and Clinton--it's coming your way.

Gosh. Now it looks like Weill is caught up in the Better Jackson PAC fiasco. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
