I like the way Anita Lee of the Sun Herald in one exchange referred to Auditor Pickering as "Chip". Lets hope Auditor Pickering's wife never decides to air any marital proceedings out like "Chips" wife did a few years ago in Madison county, spare us all the lurid details so to speak...

now that yoy mention it, I haven't heard from/about her or the kids in years. Do they still live here?

Is that all that was turned over to you KF? That is the complete extent of the communications they had regarding the public records request? No correspondence from March-August 2013? No correspondence before January 2013?

Nobody has mentioned that Mayor Billy Hewes' brother-in-law was one of the ones indicted! He was the one going around the coast in his unmarked state car putting up signs for Hewes when he ran for Lt. Governor! Where was Pickering then?

I asked for those filed in 2013.

Billy Hewes is Joe Ziegler's BIL?

Wasn't Ziegler's wife paid by DMR contract to do ???

Hmmm. A public records request for records produced in response to a public records request. Quit riding coat tails.

11:57; Please explain 'unmarked state car'. That would not be legal (unless law enforcement) and how would you know anyway? Brothers in law of mayors and legislators don't have access to 'state cars'.

Joe Ziegler's wife was also employed @ the DMR. Its called the family,friends and associates program. Those that had the right connections were paid large sums of money for what they did. As an example Paul Byrd, who is the brother of Bill Walker's neighbor, was being paid $90,000+ annually to do light maintenance/carpenter work. Joe Runnels,Ms.AG attorney assigned to the DMR had two sons who were minors working at this agency making 11-12 dollars an hour to paddle around in a canoe. This still goes on at the DMR. Look how Joe Cloyd and Josh Gregory arranged a contract for PR work thru Horne. Is this because they are such good friends with Jamie Miller, the current DMR director, or was it given to them based on their political connections? An occasional fundraiser for people like Stacey Pickering keeps the conflict clause away.

Quit riding coat tails.

Maybe you should stop reading JJ now since you can't understand the concept of why KF would seek the Sun Herald's request.

11:57: He was Chief of Staff for DMR - they didn't mark the car and used undercover tags to run on the SUV - Trust me, I have seen the paperwork associated with the vehicle. Good ole boys - Phil, Stacey, Josh, Scott, Malvaney, Zeigler, etc. They are still others they have under investigation such as Malvaney - his BP contract smells big time!

Is Hood implicated? I think I just saw where one of his employees had two sons employed by this bogus agency. Or were they performing a vital function and selected after an open application period with an impartial selection committee?

Was this place a money tree or a cash cow?

>>>11:57; Please explain 'unmarked state car'. That would not be legal (unless law enforcement)<<<


lol

This is JJ where "would not be legal" and "law enforcement" never go together. "Unless" or not.

What was it DMR used to do? Enforce some laws?

The public records that should be requested are the ones surrounding the ordering and construction of the skimmer boats as part of the BP oil spill cleanup. These boats were ordered by the Gov's office thru USES-George Malvaney. Millions were wasted and not one drop of oil skimmed. This involves not only Malvaney but also Haley Barbour, Bill Walker and Trudy Fisher. They will say this was BP money and USES was their contractor but was it structured this way on purpose to hide the money trail? How much did USES-Malvaney pocket? Did Bill and Scott Walker benefit financially? Where are these boats now? Needs to be looked into by the FEDs because the state officials will not report on there own.

The State of Mississippi. Making BP look clean by comparison.

JJ can be silly when he wants to. A 'chief of staff' for a state agency head cannot legally drive an unmarked car claiming he's involved in law enforcement. He's a glorified personnel clerk who juggles requests for employment for God's sake. JJ or not.

Everything about this agency (under this management team) has been bogus and illegal.

Democrats were corrupt for the years they were in control and the GOP complained.

African Americans complained that whites in power were corrupt.

So, the GOP and African Americans get into power and see the gravy train and voila! become just as corrupt but not as experienced in being corrupt.

Party loyalists and racist scream, " The other guy was worse" and recite examples.

Did mothers stop teaching that worse behavior by others doesn't justify doing the wrong thing?

Hasn't anyone noticed this isn't working?!
