Well if you can't dazzel them with brillance, baffle them with BS

A missed opportunity: "Not at all. You're the ugly one."

Why did Stokes not vote? His refusal to vote effectively continued the Graham contract.

Unrelated but something i would like to see it I could get addressed: Larita wants to know what will be done on city council to reflect black influx? I want to know what will be done to reflect the white influx in Madison county... Seems to me in the future the madison board should. Be 4 white 1black right?

You're right, Anderson, it is OT and I zapped it.

6:20 DOJ would not approve that. We need a new DOJ.

This is a very sad testament to how the County money is managed. It is incredible that Stokes would gripe about various line items of expenditures for ten minutes, claiming that money for diesel fuel, etc. is not being spent efficiently, then refuses to vote on a company who is milking the 911 Fund (literally) to death.

More surprising that Nathan flat refused to answer very straightforward questions. This Airwave firm is clueless, has no qualifications to maintain the county's radio system and their contract holds them harmless when the system fails and people die because of their inability to really support the system.

These thugs can steal your money and there is nothing that can be done. Nothing!

Keep hammering on this. Someday someone will realize how right you are. (That is someone who can really do something about these goings-on.) Proud to call you friend, Kingfish!

@ Curt Crowley - touche'

Where are the letter to the editor of the statewide newspaper, asking the questions suggested by Crowley? Pickering isn't bothered by a web blog or coffee-house conversation.

6:20, it could be five black or five white if the voters so chose. The districts are drawn so that the two northern ones are majority black to reflect the population. That will always be the case unless the white population increases or the black population decreases to the point where whites aren't fairly represented with the existing districts. In other words, if Madison County were to become 80% white in some future census, it's possible that the DOJ would allow lines to be drawn such that we would only have one majority black district. I don't know how old you are, but don't look for that to happen in my lifetime. If we want change in Madison County we're going to have to do it the old fashioned way - convince a good candidate to run and work to elect him.

So what does that make Mrs. Calhoun she also asked the same question. Its 2012 people quit using the race card!!!!!

The state attorneys office and the FBI need to be called in to investigate this total sham!

We need the FBI and the State Attorneys office to investigate this scam!
