Mississippi Business Journal interviews Forrest Thigpen of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy. Apparently Hinds County refuses to respond to public records request. Hmmm... what a coincidence, Hinds refuses to respond to mine as well as it is a week overdue on answering one I submitted. Here is the video and accompanying text:
MBJ reports:
"While most of the state has responded to the requests, Thigpen says he’s still waiting to hear from Hinds County.
“Hinds County has not responded at all,” Thigpen says. “They’re by law required to respond within seven days. When we submitted the request it was at the end of last fiscal year and it was 14 days. We actually intentionally did it before the new law went into effect to give them a little extra time to respond.”
Thigpen says that while he and his staff have predominantly focused on the compliant counties and getting those records online, he intends to follow up with the unresponsive counties soon.
“We’ll be returning to pursue some of these folks and we’ll have to take some of them to court.” Article

This is a little law compared to them BIG stuff that done to the laws by the BOS.
Hey, who is going to hold them accountable, huh? Most of the state is still Demoncratic, after all.
