Jackson Jambalaya

Then you don't believe that bogus "audit" of engineering fees that Arthur signed off on will come back to haunt him if he runs?

There's something about him that makes me uneasy. Can't put my finger on what it is.

The details as below has your name written all over it.

[Harvey] Johnson said another option is to demand state offices in Jackson catch up with unpaid water bills. The mayor [Harvey Johnson] said state government owes the city millions in overdue water charges.

Exactly how much the state owes the city was not made available at the news conference. After mentioning the debt, [Harvey] Johnson steered the discussion back to his appeal to the commission.

Now isn't that news that someone in this town should have been chasing ... HARD ... LONG BEFORE NOW ... that the State of MS is delinquent paying their water bill?








Meanwhile back in Fondren the usual suspect(s) are dredging up the race card again to rescue thier moribund franchise.

Shouldn't Harvey have stated how much it was?

Harvey better hope that he spoke up without raising his hand.

BECAUSE how in the world (HADES) can he cut off the water to regular households for non-payment post grace-period with such efficiency while allowing the State of MS to rack up such level of arrears?

PUT UP OR SHUT UP HARVEY











Meanwhile back in Fondren the usual suspect(s) are dredging up the race card again to rescue thier moribund franchise.

huh?

Also, Arthur Johnston makes you uneasy because he weighs 400 lbs.

The state owes the COJ over $3mm in water fees.

Isn't ironic that Harvey Johnson fired Jackson's bond lobbyists thinking he and city staff could do the effort themselves. Obviously they have failed.

When Melton took a similar approach the JFP went ballistic. Seen any reporting about this in the entertainment weekly?

As dear old Tom Head stated so long ago you can't expect much from an entertainment weekly.

If the state owes COJ that much money then COJ needs to replace its entire Accounts Receivable department.

Donna Ladd is a FRAUD.

They will not mention this. They are too busy defending ILLEGAL ALIENS.

With all the confusion, maybe Obama will declare a state of emergency and under executive order place his people in each position.

Ignore those at the JFP in lala land. Same 6 or 7 comment ad nauseum. Ladd gets all "fired up" and comments, then recomments, then recomments again, while the lightweight Brian and that poor roommate Todd chime in, to do the butch's, er bitch's bidding.

Is anyone surprised that the staff under Harvey Johnson now says that Jackson State and the Postal Service are late in paying their bills also?

Publisher + interns = fireworks

Who the hell is going to report it first?

Mississippi, per Harvey Johnson, is late paying their bills to JACKSON to the tune of $3 or $4 MILLION DOLLARS.

Meanwhile, Ward Schaefer, winner of today's complete and utter bullshit JFP "Kick-Ass Award" remains silent.

WARD, you is working for the wrong outsfit. They lack, as Todd will tell you from his REAL and personal experience, any REAL cojones.

Damn KING do I have to put the story in your lap?

BTW, neat FOIA request. On average, over the last 12 months, how many residential water accounts have been shut off for non-payment per business day? Do I need to do the math for you?

Hey, YO King, you is right but some of us know you; ie your slip is showing man. Love ya...

Ah, didn't Harv' just ask for 6M for pipes? Damn those JFP-ers do like their pipes; water of course. PUT IT DOWN!

"Spill the beans King"...give it a rest. Timing is of the essence.

If I wasn't mistaken 7:15 PM sounds a bit like Othor.

If I'm not mistaken 8:06 you sound like an ignoramus.

I'm late to this discussion and the Jackson online community but if Mississippi owes Jackson millions of dollars then I think that is big news.

Donna Ladd is a FRAUD

OOOOOO....i posted on the JFP. I am a traitor! But she is a _____! Insert words as appropriate. Get ready to delete some posts KF!

Harvey Johson FIRED the bond lobbyists.

Now Jackson TAXPAYERS have to Pay?

!! Shades of Frank Melton !!

First thing...

Bad link.

Second, we've been saying that refinancing the bonds in the manner they were going about it is only deepening the hole that JAX finds itself.

Not sure why firing the bond lobbyists is a bad thing.

Would it be NEWS Kingfish if Harvey offered to pay special attention to your huge Johnson?

Here we have the Mayor of Jackson claiming that Mississippi is 3 or 4 MILLION DOLLARS past due in paying the water bill and nobody in the state is reporting on the news?

Where the hell is judicial candidate Jeff Weill in this debacle? Does he and the Jackson City Council have financial oversight here? The state is arrears MILLIONS and Jeff, Mr. Law and Order, has said NOTHING?

Just freakin' say it! I don't have the time to play with words on this issue. Its a non-issue, with me, other than "if the city of JAX benefits, only then do I find a viable center of commerce".

What bond lawyers did he fire? I must have missed that one. Thanks.

LOBBYISTS!!!

JJ has FAILED.

Kingfish as MISSED the story.

BUT, of course, he is paid off by DJP.

So what does anyone expect.

Already faxed in the public record request jackass.

What do these comments have to do with Tate Reeves?

the same crowd behind tate is the one that was with charley ross... no church affiliation and no grass roots

Figures...Donner K didn't post my comment...

She can't take the heat and will censor you from the kitchen.

Never let it be said that hope doesn't spring eternal for you Kappy.

These comments are all over the place. Guess I'm too old--can't keep up.

That is probably it.

Does one need church affiliation to win in MS?

IN Ms church affilition is a must, ask charles porter

according to the treasurer's website, the Reeves are members at Galloway United Methodist Church.

And they recently co-chaired the Capitol campaign for the church.

no church affiliation???

The Reeves family is very active at Galloway and several of the members are active in his campaign. He has family in First Baptist Jackson as well as the Baptist church in Florence which is where he grew up.

Someone should check into why Tate Reeves is out collecting campaign money during the 8-5 business day. The taxpayers are footing the bill for his money raise.

Saw it myself at 10:00 am one weekday in an office where I was waiting for an appointment.

That is one unattractive, out of shape, man. Why can't Mississippi project a better image than overweight?

Maybe you'd find him more attractive with a mullet.

6:55 am - Would you rather MS project the image of an idiot? Personally, I don't care what people look like - I care about what they can do for me as a Mississippian.

Why would tate live in rankin and go to church in hinds?
Did he not later move to rankin from madiison after beating mr anderson?

Who cares why he goes to church in Hinds? That is his personal decision.

Mr. Reeves has not lived in Madison to my recollection. He and his wife have been at Galloway since they were in college at Millsaps.
The taxpayers also reap the benefits for the time he puts in on weekends.
I for one am very proud of the job he has done in office.

The weight, the looks, the concern for ones's church affiliation, whether a person lives in this county or that--what is your point with all this??

The point is public perception, which is part of politics.

ask tate where he has lived?

Tate grew up in Florence (Rankin), lived in the Belhaven area while attending Millsaps. After graduating he purchased a home in Jackson. As his family grew he built a home in Rankin county where he now resides.
As for his church affiliation-he grew up in Baptist church in Florence, moved to Galloway Methodist while at Millsaps and remains there. His wife grew up Methodist. I guess this info is interesting to some.
My inquiries are more about political philosophy,conservative fiscal responsibility and genuine interest in the people of our state. From my perspective he passes the smell test on these.
Tate's family has political involvement that goes back at least 2 generations, albeit it on a much more local level.
I was involved when Tate first made the decision to run for political office. Of course very few people knew who he was. His base consisted of family and friends from Millsaps. They gathered each weekend, walked neighborhoods, traveled the state to get his message out. So I would have to disagree with the poster earlier that said he has no grass roots supporters.

Public perception? Umm...Haley Barbour? What an absurd comment.

"Sorry, unless your hot like Stacey Pickering I am not voting for you..."(snort).

And yes, I know it's "you're". It's also early.

there is a effort to have a large fundraiser for tate in Rankin co.
Look at the host list and see who's names are not there.

He might not win Rankin county, look for Pickering to be strong.( Pine Lake & Crossgates)
