I cannot play this on my IPad. Can you provide a transcript?

Its in Flash. Get a Flash app.

Was out in the county the other day and came across "Karl Banks Pave This Road" painted in larger letters across the roadway.

The notion that Steen is akin to Kenny Stokes is laughable.

How dare Steen try to stop giving Rudy $1.2 million for nothing. Karl, Rudy, Tim and Barber will try to take him out for defying the Godfather.

being against "economic development" usually means being against government borrowing money or spending tax money on projects the free market would never undertake.... like the Jackson convention center hotel project. I'll support being against "economic development" like that every time.

It sounds like Ole Jim recorded the call from a bathroom stall at Madison Elementary School. I'm sure the phones are just blowing up this morning after it went out (satire). May be an FCC violation because it wasn't for a candidate or candidates committee. Not 100% there though

I wonder if there's any connection to the airport follies. Mad Cty Journal, 3/5/14:

"District 3 Supervisor Gerald Steen last week in an open meeting asked Coursey (of MCEDA) to hand over the contract and board minutes related to Project Phoenix to County Administrator Mark Houston."

Steen tried to big a big shot when he became a BOS. He was going to run the show and teach those county people who was boss cause he was so much wiser than they were. Well Gerald, you not the boss and your not that wise. Kind of a wake up call and what we like to say is, "A A Teachable Moment."

@ 9:49, it should be "you're not the boss and you're not that wise."

@11:28 blog Nazi....you must that loser from yesterday that wants to correct everyone. Go get a girlfriend/boyfriend/dog/go work-out

It should be obvious to the politically aware of what is going on with mr steen and mr lott - they are playing the old game of pretending to be the citizens savior the year before the next election. Some people remember that mr steen was the architect of the Tax Increase his first year in office, and mr lott hasn't had an original plan or thought since he was elected to the Board.

Teachable moment indeed, 11:28. Well done.

Steen requested the developer of list rabbit deliver dirt and OTHER things to his house before he voted on lost rabbit going forward. The developer said no and steen voted against him. Sounds a lot like stokes to me....

Steen swaps his vote for favors. Gene Magee was glad to get rid of him in ridgeland.

Us hard working folks in lost rabbit have money and will spend it to make sure steen is gone!!

Didn't Steen have a campaign promise? What was it? Oh...I remember now, he said he wouldn't vote for a tax raise. So what did he do when he got elected? Raised YO TAXES!!!! YO is intentional if the Blog Nazi feels the need to chime in between his Dungeon and Dragons and Xbox play.

Hey Steen...they are paving some roads by my house...can you get them to do my driveway? Its all LEGAL right?

@ 12:06 Sorry, I don't normally try to police grammar, but the comment offered the perfect setup for some humor. Obviously, you did not find it funny.

Steen lost rabbit was worth saving!! You wouldn't vote to save us..... Now you can pay the ultimate political price! Your friend at Madison city hall......

It may not apply to "Kennuf" Steen to be a "teachable" one be me "learnable". Steene done pisssed offQueen mary, Elvis, Brick Barber, King Karl and Princess Pace. now that's a record of putting enemies together disliking him. Maybe his next job would be teaching Political Science at Tulane. Maybe his no. 2 man lott could teach "Biz Nez"!

Rudy must have run out of campaign money for Steen. he sure voted for all of Rudy's projects the past two years.

This email went out Friday evening:

Dinsmor residents,

Last night Dinsmor residents received a political "robo" call originating in Seattle, WA from a person claiming to be "Jim Smith with Let's Go Madison". This call was critical of District 3 Supervisor Gerald Steen and his inquiries most likely related to certain non-public Madison County Economic Development Authority (MCEDA) projects. I would like to state for the record that I am in no way associated with this call.

I am Supervisor Steen's appointee to the MCEDA board and represent you as District Three director on this board. As your volunteer President of Dinsmor and volunteer Director on MCEDA's board I, like you, support open and honest government. Additionally, since my appointment last fall, have encouraged and supported Supervisor Steen's inquiries and oversight into MCEDA's financial affairs. This, after all, is a government authority.

It is unfortunate we are subjected to these political "robo" calls from unknown sources with unlimited funds to produce them. In the future, please know that I nor any other member of the Dinsmor board will ever be a party to a misleading or malicious "robo" call or mail campaign.

My family and I appreciate you seeing this for what it is and thank each of you for being our good neighbors and friends.

Warm Regards,

Jim Smith
President
Dinsmor HOA

I just got that same fake robo call tonight. It originated from 360-322-6200.
I hope someone can track down who is behind this.

I was routed through an app that originated in Dinsmor subdivision

Jim smith, we all see you concerned about you name and your connection to Steen, but before you decide to get all snugly with mr steen you should read his case file located in the Court house..... He is and was a dead beat dad who refused to pay child support.

So, to recap: Kingfish gets all hot and bothered over the possibility of slander regarding the 'dog pound woman' but it's 'no holds barred' when it comes to the above libelous remarks about Steen. Kingfish puts on a different protocol cap every morning.

Most here miss the point. What kind of people do this sort of thing? Sinister and evil people who will spread malicious lies to achieve unchallenged political power. Can any of you guess who that might be in our county government?

Re: Steen. Steen is a public figure who asked for this scrutiny when he ran for office and took our tax dollars. Check your history books about Harry Truman's views on this matter (hint: look under "kitchen"). Then read and re-read the First Amendment until you get it through your alleged head.

I have no idea who the "dog pound lady" is, so I'll file her under private citizen - different category altogether.

And, as many people here have stated to many pinheads on many occasions - if you don't like KF's decisions (especially about running the risk of going broke and losing his blog from paying a legal defense bill defending against a slander suit) - go start your own blog and slander whomsoever you like. His money, his blog, his rules.

Amen 9:55 AM! KF gives commenters a whole lotta rope but the losers who think they get to write anything they want at any given time are just plain ignorant.

9:55 is undoubtedly the same Rube who always chimes in to defend KF any time someone shines a spotlight on his nonsensical, momentary policies. 9:55 is always so quick on the trigger, that one must conclude he is in fact, the Kingfish himself. Never fails. Same quick response, same rhetoric, same sentence structure, same words, same attitude.

And to top it off with a lie, he claims he has no idea who 'dog pound woman is' while at the same time wants us to believe he keeps up with this blog site.

And for the information of the unwise rube at 9:55 (and his amen-er) one can never be guilty of slander for mirroring what is already published in the public domain.

Go start your own blog, he whines. yada yada.
