It appears there is an ambitious agenda for the Jackson City Council this morning.
*Mayor Tony Yarber is resubmitting Richard Lind (Ward 6) and Camille Simms (Ward 4) as nominees to the JPS Board of Trustees.
*Mayor Tony Yarber is resubmitting the proposal to implement Tips411. Citizenobserver provides technology to police departments that allows citizens to use an app or their computer to provide anonymous tips to the police. The City Council did not approve the proposal when it was presented in July.
*The Mayor is submitting Eric Anthony Jefferson for Director of Economic Planning and Development.
*Mayor Yarber nominates Rosie Pridgen to the Board of Commissioners for the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. Her background is in the field of education.
*Hiring of Camille Scales Young and Hayes Dent as lobbyist for the city. Smart move for several reasons. Legislative budget hearings will soon commence. The best time to privately meet with the Speaker and Leftenant Governor is in October, not during the session, if one is trying to obtain appropriations from the state. The city council hired Donna Echols this year.... in February- right in the middle of the session. One little fact Ms. Echols did not tell the city council was that her main client is JPS- and the city had as one legislative goal the conversion of appointed school boards to elected school boards. No conflict of interest there, none at all. Hiring these two is smart as though a Democrat administration runs Jackson, it is Republicans who run the legislature. They hold the purse strings so the city needs to play on its field, not simply hire Democrat lobbyists who aren't even in the game.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

So, the Mayor is nominating a school teacher to run the airport. Really? Was she a JPS employee?
How can the mayor make an appointment to the JMAA board? The law states that all appointments are for five years. Everyone currently on the JMAA board was appointed last year by Mayor Lumumba.
Hayes Dent Group hiring was a great move. They are the most complete political agency out there in Mississippi. They just don't do lobbying but they do campaigns as well. Not just state wide stuff but local campaigns all over. And they don't charge outrageous fees like some of its competitors to just buy ads and run polls. Best move Yarber has made yet. At least Yarber showed his appreciation to Dent for helping him win, unlike our idiot state Treasure who cast them aside after they gave her a miracle win. Hey Lynn, how you think you will do with the legislature this year???? LOL Im still here and it will be the same as last year.
Probably a good move for Jackson to have some Republican window dressing, Camille Young certainly isn't but that should work ok. It's also important to note Fitch has dumped the only other person in her organization that know's anything about politics in Ashley Comstock. Not that she matters anymore, but good heavens this woman is a walking political disaster. My guess is Tate has someone take her out next spring just for the good of the order.
"*Mayor Yarber nominates Rosie Pridgen to the Board of Commissioners for the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. Her background is in the field of education."
And a teacher knows about how to run an airport because.......?
I've hit a dead end on searching for how much JMAA board members get paid. Anyone know?

They probably get a per diem for attending the monthly meeting, but other than that, they are uncompensated. Unless you count benefits like the iPads and the trips to conferences.
If the post at 10:23 is any indication of Hayes Dent's firms promotional skills, I'm sure they'll be very effective.
10:23, is a Hayes Dent promo. No one else would make that statement.
When Dent comments, he puts his name on it. Rest assured. The comment from the "alleged" legislator from said comment at 10:23 might want to attend an Appropriation meeting every now and then. Fitch has increased her budget 15% since taking office. She's pretty much received everything she's asked for. Not saying that is a good thing for her, but if you think she is being blocked from anything.... you are most certainly wrong "MR. LEGISLATOR" But that was a good try.
Sorry guys, it wasn't me!! I do appreciate the kind words...they were a little off on where I am with the Treasurer, but we're excited about helping the City of Jackson. Always happy to exchange comments with folk who will ID themselves.
See, I told you.
You're gonna give us an update Kingfish? Let's hear it.
Always happy to exchange comments with folk who will ID themselves.
Then why are you here Dent responding to anonymous comments? You gave the numbskulls credence by simply showing up and writing "Sorry guys, it wasn't me!!". Stupid is as Hayes does.
Wow, how do you catch these things, I want to be as sharp as you when I grow up...
Hayes
Sure , Hayes plugged himself. That is what does people do.
That is what does people do.
Ummmm...........OK.
The C-L has a headline about city council raising the minimum wage - an details? Is it just for city employees (so taxpayers pay more for the same amount of work) or all employers (so owners pay more for the same amount of work)?
Once those hamburger-flipping robots actually get on the market there will be hell to pay here and in every other burg that has minimal opportunities for poorly educated, unskilled laborers.
