Jackson Jambalaya

Can we not find one citizen in Anderson's district to file a complaint with the state about his capacity to serve on this board?

And Peggy, I hardly know ye.

Kenuff was just doing what he does best. Shining his ass.

" Get Some, Get Some!!! "

Exactly what kind of emergencies do they have at Tougaloo in comparison with Jackson?

When Kennuff says "(sic) there have to be some kind of standards in the county;" would those same standards apply to Robert Graham who impersonates a police officer?

KF, I absolutely love the fact that these bozos exist. It gives me a source of entertainment since cable TV has gone to crap. It's like they're playing work. Get them in the real world and they wouldn't know how to function.

How do we find out if Kenneth Stokes has a degree? What qualifies him to be a ringmaster in the circus known as the county BOS???? What an utter disgrace, have to wonder if there legal ramifications to discussing this personnel matter out in the open amongst the public....it was uncalled for and disrespectful to every county employee but mostly to Mr. Perkins who has been loyal to Hinds County even when sometimes its hard to be!

This was totally uncalled for! Mr. Perkins is more than qualified to do that job. Just because someone has a college degree does not mean that person is qualified for the job. Mr. Stokes should be required to publicly apologize to Mr. Perkins. If this was a white supervisor asking a black candidate in public like this everyone and there brother would be calling racism... NAACP, Rev Jackson, etc would be down here tomorrow raising holy hell

Kenny didn't know where the Education Center...Dang...thats down there near Fondren on Old Canton Road. Heck, I'm from Madison County and know where the Ed Center is.

As an African American I'm disgusted by the sight of stokes that whole display was racially motivated. Did he grill the black candidates , I think not. The essence of the BOS is appalling .

No, he didn't and you should be mad no one tried to take that into executive session or defend Mr. Perkins.

True Story:

"You don't promote from the bottom, you promote from the top."

But my people will continue to elect these buffoons . Glad I live in Madison County.

unfortunitely he virus has spread from jackson to hinds county. I hope we can keep it from spreading any further out.

Hinds and Jackson are done. Kaput. End of story. It is time to move the Capitol out of the cesspool.

Gotta love some Kennuf! Silly sparking wiggles!

Kenneth @ 5:15 "There's got to be some kind of standards..." Can ANYONE believe he had the nerve to say that? That's HILARIOUS coming from him!!!

This is @ 6:15 not 5:15 I watched it again and I think Kenneth said, "...but it's got to be some kind of standards..." ~irony

Honest question here. Does anyone from the State Auditor's Office, State AG, or Secretary of State read this blog? The buffoonery that is the HCBOS, the election commissioner garbage yesterday, etc, etc. Is anyone paying attention?

It was a complete travesty! To take a hard working, dedicated knowledgeable and HONEST man like Mr. Perkins and subject him to that is absolutely disgraceful. He is very well know and very well respected in the police and fire community. He has spent many years working with and developing relationships within those ranks He has given so much to his community and county and all the citizens who live there to protect life and property in Hinds County. Mr. Perkins does not have a college degree, but what he does have is an extreme amount of training and experience in Emergency Management and he has honesty and integrity. Something that the Hinds County BOS has NONE of. From what I have heard this other guy does have a college degree but NO experience. Who would you rather have looking out for you and your family? Kingfish, I sure wish that you could get your hands on both the resume of the new EOC Director and Mr. Perkins and post them to this website. I have heard that Mr. Perkins' resume is 11 pages long. I think that the people of Hinds County should be able to see for themselves. Also, I am praying that Mr. Perkins does have recourse of some kind for what happened in that board room. He deserves it.

Well well Kenny, seems as though you have no idea about the Education Center (or anything else meaningful). Well the Education Center has only been in Jackson a mere 42 years. Guess it takes you a little longer than that to catch up. They are a private school with small classes in order to provide a highly individualized education. I am told that 96% of their graduates go on to attend college or establish themselves in responsible careers in public service,or business. But I guess that does not account for anything in this day and time. They also seek to develop the student not only in academics but also in character. But, I guess that record can't hold a candle to the student accomplishments of the schools in Jackson and Hinds County.

Got news for Overpaid Duane O'Neill. Ain't gonna be no Madison and Rankin drinkers of your One Region, One Vision, One Voice koolaid with the existing cast of clowns running Hinds and Jackson.

Oh yeah Kenny, don"t come back and say that the Ed Center an "all white private school" it is quite the oposite. Thay have always had students of all races and ethnicity.

Well well Kenny, seems as though you have no idea

That sums it up.

8:16,
Long answer to your last question: No.

What the What!!!! What the Bleep just happen! Really Hinds County Board gets dumber every time they meet. I am so sick and tired of the ignorance, I have a college degree but that doesnt make me smarter than anyone. Joey is more than qualified to do the work but yet again the board brings in someone based on color and not qualifications, to me experience out weights a degree alot of times! Again What the Bleep just happen!

Kenny Stokes ,Peggy Calhoon and Doug Anderson are about as smart as a bag of rocks. Mr Perkins knows how to handle that department and the county and he showed that during hurricane Issac!He and former Director MR Lewis,who was fired by the other dummy, both shared the same views. Now Whoever this Guy is that has NO experience and works in a Lab will need Mr Perkins knowledge to run the department. I hope he tells him nothing and lets see if our county will be storm ready. I also hope Mr Perkins finds a better job and leaves!I hear that members of the board are getting kickbacks from certain contracts! Airways!! Bert Please investigate!

My my my, how the tables have turned. Back in the day, blacks worked for years, gained an immense amount of experience and then ended up training whites for the higher positions. and you know why they were passed over, because they did not have a degree.

With that being said, I am in no way condoning what Sup. Stokes said and did to belittle Mr. Perkins. I thought that was a bunch of hogwash. I was actually for Mr. Perkins. I believe in promoting from within. Now don't get me wrong, I try to help my black brothers and sisters but in this case I don't feel that this the type of job that someone should be learning on the fly. you are talking about people's lives.
I would have promoted Mr. Perkins and then tried to see if Mr. young would accept the #2 position and that way if Mr. Perkins could not handle being Director then Young would have gotten some training and stepped right on in.

and to address an earlier comment. although I disagree with most of Sup. Stokes' stances, what makes him qualified is that the people elected him and we all just have to deal with it. GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!

Mr. Perkins ran it under Jimmie Lewis and has been running it for several months. Distinguished himself during Hurricane Isaac and also during the jail riot. When Jimmie was awol during the tornadoes last year, Perkins ran the department.

Has anyone heard of the college where the new director attended? His Master's degree is from American Military University.

Do we want someone with real world experience or someone with a 100% online degree?

Kingfish, you hit the nail on the head. He knew what to do and did it. He has always been that way and will continue to go above and beyond in anything he undertakes. And,despite all that has happened to him this week, he will not allow it to change who he is , or what he does.Believe me it will be the County's loss in this one.

College is way overrated unless your talking about the military service academies. The law enforcement experience and fire certifications makes Perkins attractive besides his valuable service at the agency.
