Your vote does count and you have a chance to do something about Hinds County today if you live in District 2. The district includes part of Fondren and Belhaven.* This website endorses Darrel McQuirter. Readers of this site are familiar with the debacle that is the Hinds County Board of Supervisors as the supes reach a new low on a regular basis. Sweetheart deals. Shakedowns. No-bid contracts. Broke budgets. Million dollar payouts to their attorneys. They loot the E911 fund to funnel money to their friends while police and fire departments in Hinds County can't get radios they need to save lives. The current majority on the board schemed and screamed in an effort to deprive you of your right to vote today. Today is the day you can make a difference. Then there is Bennie's jail. Bennie built it, broke it,, and we are still paying for it.  Don't forget Kenneth Stokes.  Want to make Stokes mad? Vote for Darrel McQuirter today. 

The election today is important.  If you vote for Darrel McQuirter, Hinds County will cease to be a playpen for Kenneth Stokes and Robert Graham.  Since Phil Fisher left the board, Kenneth Stokes has been out of control as he assumed control of the board.  If you want to actually vote in an election where your vote can and will make a difference, get to the polls today.  This is the chance Hinds County voters have to finally make a difference in who serves on the board of supervisors.  In other words, you can finally change the direction of the county from its direction towards suicide.

It's easy to knock government workers, and we do it from time to time here at Jackson Jambalaya, but all Mr. McQuirter has done is serve. He served as the Fire Chief in Clinton. He served as pastor of his church for 15 years. He serves as director of permits and zoning for Hinds County. He's not the bombastic type as can be said about one particular supervisor. He's not a loudmouth who is only known for marching. He merely serves and gets things done.  Jackson Jambalaya, Jackson Free Press, and the Jackson Advocate have all endorsed Darrel McQuirter.  When have we all agreed on anything?

If you are happy with the current direction of Hinds County and the actions of the Board of Supervisors, then vote for Al Hunter.   However, if you want to make a change, vote for Darrel McQuirter. He's not flashy, not loud, not looking to line a pocket or enrich a friend.  Not a tool for someone who is a control freak such as Bennie Thompson or Kenneth Stokes.  He's just a solid citizen who has always protected and served.  A man of his word.  Something we can't say about his opponent.  A shame more like Darrel McQuirter  don't run for office.

Darrel McQuirter: Good enough for Hinds County. Not good enough for Kenneth Stokes.  Remember that when you go to the polls today.

*Belhaven precinct: #8, the fire station on North State Street. 
Fondren precincts: Presbyterian church and Woodland Hills Baptist church.
