Jackson Jambalaya

Fess up Kenny, who you know needing a job this time?

Supervisor Robert Graham was overheard to tell others he was caught by surprise when Stokes announced his motion.

Which is all the confirmation one needs to verify that Lt. Robert Graham of the Jackson Police Department is fully in cahoots with Stokes on all the other crap both they pull.

Really Donna, I swear I stayed there until the end of the meeting.

1. Not fair to R.L. The meeting didn't end until 2 yesterday. CL wasn't even there. R.L. Stayed for an hour or two. Most of it was boring.

2. Since Hunter got on the board, power shifted from Graham to Stokes. Stokes runs that threesome more and more now and Graham is powerless to do anything about it as he sold out a long time ago.

Not fair how?

If you know the modus for post-executive session shenanigans then he is either an inferior reporter or, boring or not, he decided to skip out early. Or maybe he is inferior and decided to skip out early.

Sorry KF. Considering all the uncalled for shit she flings in this town they don't get to have it both ways. They don't get to toot the JFP horn and then avoid the public scorn.

Just about any comment that could be made, has been made the past few months about snooker and booboo. Just another day in the life of Hinds Co. BOS. Good to know BooBoo publicly acknowledges the county is not better off under his and the BOS leadership.

They have a deadline of noon or so over there. Just works out that way. Everyone has them.

Sorry, but Raoul is right. For a newspaper that arrogantly bills itself as "The City's Smart Alternative" (because they're so much smarter than the rubes and hicks that inhabit this area), they don't seem to be finishing the task. Boring or not, if your job is to cover it, you cover it to the end. Kennufy's shenanigans are a perfect example of why.

Well, well, well. Whaddya know. Looks like the alt weekly has more in common with the local Gannett outpost than the Harpy would care to admit. Another reason why JJ is the most cutting edge media property going in Mississippi today!

A noon deadline? ROFLMAO

Only bright spot in all that is Kenny's rubber stamps didn't fall in with him and kept their mouths when he needed a second.

ok, I just watched the video...all that I have to say is that I can't understand how Hinds County has ended up in the hands of such ignorant slobs...these people really act retarded....

How long has Carmen been the "administrator"? Who does she report to, that approves her recommendations/supervises her? What is that persons liability/responsibility. Did Carmen just become unqualified the past few days? Has she been written-up/admonished/warned or given direction? I'm not defending her, just saying where is the real culprit. If I were her, I would be J O B shopping. Booboo and Piggy both have "concerns?", and Snooker will get on their wagon.

Shuriff Tyrone isn't Carmen's friend either. He's tried to kick her under the bus over the jail debacle.

Mr. Stokes said he was concerned about the "direction" of the county and that it was time for a change.

Hey! He got 2 out of 3 right!

I don't know this person but I've known several people who worked as County Administrators in the State. Even with a good Board that is one tough job. I can't imagine how awful it must be to work with these goobers.

Carmen has a master's degree from Wayne State Un. and worked as a Detroit city planner for 10yrs prior to becoming employed by the BOS in Sept. 2010 at a salary of $82K. Her husband at the time was a math teacher in Jackson Pub Schools. With her education and experience, she is probably way over the heads of the average county employee or politician.

"and worked as a Detroit city planner for 10yrs"

That went well.

5:30 they probably had forms or a software program to guide her. Just saying she's in a real web now. Since the dimocraps have taken over the hinds co BOS, she's probably had the longest tenure in their history. According to a google search, there are approximately 4,500 county administrator job vacancies in the US.

to answer booboo's question, No, we're not better off now than we were 2 or 3 years ago. The problem started when graham (the legend) got on this board. It then accelerated when booboo got on this board. Carmen's only problem is that she's becoming like them (i.e. she's being assimilated by the borg).

hey Carmen, take it from someone who's been there - you may want to get your resume up to date.

Glad Kenny realizes the county is not up to par. Just too bad he doesn't realize the reason for its failing. Its not the Administrator, but the board that hired her. No administrator could do anything to help this county as long as we have bafoons and crooks like Stokes and Graham running it (of course you have to add the third member - their appointee Hunter).

Good news is that once Lt Graham's appointees leave in November and are replaced by Greer and McWhirter, these fools will no longer be in absolute control. Don't know what Carmen's fate will be then, but hopefully several folks will need to be updating their resumes.

this is a minstrel show
