Jackson Jambalaya

huh.....I have no idea why he would suddenly resign. We have not seen anything like that lately. Nope. Notta clue.

I must say I'm not shocked, in the least! Millions can't exchange hands & just two people be involved. I'm thinking Epps & McDaddy are singing like a parakeet on the back porch on a Sunday morning. House of Epps has fallen. Now, does anyone have the ____ to take on Phil? KF put it all out there about Phil's boys (Josh & company) at Frontiers. Won't any of you take it & expose Deputy Dog Phil for what he really is-a crook! Come on Tater Tot! This is your big chance. Put on your big boy underros, step up to the plate & take a swing! What about you Delbert Humperdink?!?! You can do it! Or little Jimmy Hood-spray that hair nice & high & take a swing! Come on guys (or should I say boys), it's laid out there-all you have to do is see it's investigated. Auditor's Office? AG's Office? PEER? Anybody out there?!?!?!

12:14- I completely agree. You can't get anything done by Phil, supported by Phil, approved by Phil if you don't grease the hands of the pricks at Frontiers. They have more contracts with state entities than any of us could count. Additionally, they get contracts for other companies groups by helping them to get state contracts. Who is benefiting from all of this one may ask?!?!? You guessed it-our wanna be cop Gubner-Pheeeellll. It's crooked & pathetic that it happens and that our state leaders turn the other cheek. LOOK into this Mississippians.

Hey Frontier...SMILE!!! I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOU....AND GUESS WHO ELSE DOES???? ITS GONNA BE A LOOOOOOOONG YEAR FOR FRONTIER. CANT WAIT TILL THEY GET THAT PHONE CALL. BTW: ANYONE REMEMBER WHITWELL'S RESIGNATION? TICK TOCK-TICK-TOCK

12:14 Please, do lay it out for us. Give us some direction, Don't be coy. The rest of the people of this state who engage in critical thinking are aware of the innuendo and rumor of which you speak. I am serious; not being an add. I ask you, spill it. Tell us what it is you believe, you can't get zapped they are public officials w/o the same protections from your free speech.

Hey KF: Who did the lobbying for MDOC? Who was chief of staff for Epps?

Stay on topic. In this case, MDOC-related stuff.

Wow. Phil and Cecil out lobbying together? Or is MM just making that up?

Maybe voters should be carrying feathers, so the next time one of these civil servants says they can be just "knocked over", they can give 'em a little test.

I doubt anyone'll need a single ambulance.

Should we look at the contract CCA has with a certain member of Barbour family?

No one wants to have to pay for lobby services but when Haley came back , he installed the "pay to play" rule.It is not all dirty but unless a business has their hire gun who can influence they have no chance of getting a fair shake.

Irb, has been shady for many many years.

2:29 - you certainly have a weird historical view. Check the four years before Barbour - you know, the Musgrove years. Plenty of reported instances of shakedown of shakedown direct from the direct from the Governor's office. Lobbyists written about in the WSJ and their 'success' in getting contracts for their clients. Private prison contracts, Medicaid, LWT Board deals. Didn't start with "Barbour years". Has been around long before - just with different players.

Irb served in the State Senate back in the late 80's until he was defeated in 1992. Lt. Governor Eddie Briggs(who authored the bill to restore voting rights to Ike Brown appointed him to be Assistant Secretary of the Senate and Sergeant-at-arms. He's been around for years!

So, he resigned as Warden of one prison. I assume he still has contractual relationships with the others -- right? And, of course, he still has his contract as lobbyist for the payday loan industry.

Will our governor wake up one morning and say "Holy Shitakes, all of the exposed corruption that includes some of my favorite friends and consultants has hurt my chances of re-election." Or is he just not smart enough to realize this? You can believe he will not get an honest answer from his electioneers at Frontier Strategies. Does the actions of Epps impact Phil Bryant or is this just another MsDMR that Pickering will step in and do some mild handslapping? All emergency contracts with all agencies should be looked into. I just heard the new buckle up commercial brought to you by SantaCruz. Wonder what that paid?

Bryant won't worry 9:56 AM until Mississippi's Republicrat compliant media (Kingfish somewhat notwithstanding) turns against the establishment MSGOP and Bryant in particular. The shit with Frontier and MSGOP radio, aka Supertalk, is beyond an abuse of taxpayers. BUT Mississippi's media is the beneficiary of that largesse so in these tough economic times don't expect the MS Press Corps to bite the hands of those paying their ever dwindling ranks.

I'd like to buy a clue!

"After being elected Hinds County sheriff, Malcolm McMillin remembered meeting at the Sun-n-Sand Motel with then-lawmakers McCrory and Phil Bryant, who were supporting legislation in the early 1990s for the state to take over running the jails and privatizing them."

I can't believe you boys are talkin' about our Governor FEEL BOUFFANT that way!

It's Deep and It's Wide...
And their ain't nowhere to hide!

"Recently, the CMRCF have seen some troubles as a drop in state inmates worried county and jail officials on the incoming cash flow." -

1. The cost should have consequently dropped.
2. This type of thinking is a direct result of privatization of the jails and prisons.
3. These people are the jerks who are pushing for sentencing mandates and propping up their business with the stupid failed War on Drugs.
