Jackson Jambalaya

#$%^&*(*&^%$

warrd 3 is full of idiots. llike im appalled . they deserve that trash.

She is DEFINATELY NOT showing up now. Ward 3 got what they voted for, or probably the same shenanigans at work previously.

Hope Mayor Harvey was serious. If not, Jackson continues to flush right down the toilet. Although, I think we all agree, it has already passed the curve.

big mama said back to the plantation

this reminds me of the plan to replace US troops with the Vietnamese at the end of the war. Sad.

Time to build that $150 billion dollar pipe dream indoor arena we don't need. GFYITABA

R.I.P. ward 3

Destiny.

(Please do not post any pics of the Stokes due swapping spit after the election!)

We've had white flight, then middle-class flight (of all colors)... who's left to run? When will the inmates learn?

can't fix stupid. you had 3 chances to keep this buffon out of that seat. Stay classy ward 3 . (douchebags)

The Jackson Zoo should post the city council meeting schedule. That way folks know the hippo exhibit will be closed during those hours.

Now that the election is over, how many $$ a day will she be fined for leaving her election signs posted?

Kudos to Joyce Jackson and her attorney John Reeves for fighting valiantly against voter fraud and voter intimidation.

With regards to Ward 3 voters and their new city council woman Stokes, as someone once famously said, YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.

I'll second the kudos for Joyce Jackson and her attorney John Reeves. Thanks for staying with this. I've owned property in Ward 3 over 25 years.....we don't kid ourselves. There is no representation on the City Council....you are on your own.

We haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until the toothless wonder tries to redistrict Ward 3 to suit hyerself.

Nice hat(s).

Bad government is a self-reinforcing phenomenon. The worse it gets, the more sane voters leave.

At this point, the majority of people left in Ward 3 are of a similar caliber to Jabba the Hatt. Soon all of those left will be.

On a related note, after the trial, Reeves told the camera a number of times that he was only her lawyer and would have nothing to do with (and had no role in) her running for office or the upcoming contest. Why then did he, in coat and tie, appear with her last night?

Shadow - She invited him to join her last night as the votes were counted. How exactly does that translate into him having a role in or somehow running her campaign? (I know for a fact that he did neither.) Not that it matters Reeves was in a casual shirt and not a coat and tie.

If I didn't have family here and property in Hinds County, I'd leave Mississippi and never come back because of crap like this. We have idiots running the city. Robbing the citizens through taxes that only go to serve the political leaders and their relatives. R.I.P. Jackson. Load the guns and lock the doors.

I look at Ward 3, where my Great Grandmother built the Family home in the 1920's and my Grandmother and Grandfather built their home in the 60's. Now, that I think about it my Mothers parents too, owned property in Ward 3. And one thing I can say is the Stokes do not represent all of Ward 3.I have been reading everywhere that "White Flight" killed Jackson, that is partially true, but the majority of the educated people from this area left Mississippi long before White Flight, for economic,social and racial issues. Joyce Jackson's supporters could actually care less and about Kennuf and The Hat ,because they have educated their Families and left a Legacy for future generations. The other people are just "Them Folk".

JFP ( I know the kingfish does not approve of their independent press certification) has a breaking story about their reporter following a story about a poll box registry not matching the tally @ the Medical Mall. The City Election officials overlooked the glaring discrepancy and apparently certified the election.

Saw that on twitter July 26, 2012 6:27 PM.

Didn't see any proof. No photos, nothing. Hoping that the intern that made the statement has more than an "I saw...." BTW, there was no earlier post stating what the intern saw, just a statement contradicting it later. If you are going to do investigative reporting, look to KF's tweets that gave updates and reported the facts.

What about finding the uncounted ballots this time around? We just cannot depend on that precinct in my opinion. It is just suspicious and unreliable.

This fiasco is not just a reflection on Ward 3. Listening to and looking at the Stoke couple, both now where you just cannot ignore them, they are a blight on the city of Jackson.
Do we forget that Jackson is the capital of this state? We now face sorrow because we have to view such violent and unsolved crime, embarrassment in elections, ridiculous behavior of elected officials, and the absolute end of any past respect for Jackson.

I remember the good times, the beauty and enjoyment of life in Jackson, but now I put that behind me and try to look away.

Considering there was only a 17 percent voter turnout, it seems most people living in Ward Three don't care. That's the greater tragedy!

Let's just hope all the Ward 3s of the country produce a 17% turnout this November. With Romney ahead by 14% among the "middle class" he will be a shoo-in. Everyone I know is voting their wallet.

Ward 3 has just been decimated....surprised that 17% turned out. Stench of the Stokes continues............
