Jackson Jambalaya

Only the very best are hired to direct Gannett newsrooms. Former Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Director Sam R. Hall's hiring to guide the Jackson Clarion-Ledger was the direct result of a comprehensive full-scale nationwide search.

Congrats Kingfish for being on top of this story.

Way to go Sam. I just really wish this had gone to court. Catching that Gunsmoke level attorney wife of his, Sarah, lying under oath and getting DISBARRED would been the. Icing on the cake. Some solace. In knowing Jim Evans is an admitted LIAR (and his wife)

BEGLEY Nailed EVANS lying ass!
Bye Felecia!!!!!!!

David Hampton knew that Evans didn't live in his district. The Clarion-Ledger has always been compromised.

Bobby you've got 4 years to move you fat butt back to Bogue Chitto. Begley just gave your competition the blueprint.

I sure hate to lose a moderate voice in the house. :-))

Love it ! Love it ! Love it !
Great news !!

Makes me happy!

Bobby might not have to pretend he lives in Bogue Chitto after November.

So continuing to lie was too much for them! Well done Sam as well his attorney Mike Ferrell.

The same kind of search that brought us the new Vice-Chancellor at UMMC.

Sam,

You are one heck of a democrat. Amazed at the use of the law for the right reasons and in a just manner. ;)

Kapt

Hey Quentin, the Siemens meter installer just left a "Sorry we missed you" note at your NE Jackson home while you where making all of those cool commercials in Oxford.

Oh what tangled webs we weave..... The Evans paper trail goes clear back to 1991. He is no role model for the children of the District he claimed. Shame on Evans and shame on those who let it go on this long. The Democratic Executive Committee needs to look at its practices. When Sam wins, and I believe he will, Jackson will be represented by someone who truly cares about the City and about its citizens.

Sam will lose to a black write in candidate

The Dem Committee needs to be ashamed of its actions. It let itself be overwhelmed by Earl Banks and other Legislative supporters of liars.

The Clarion-Ledger just reported this story, but oddly enough made no mention of the lawsuit and never did in its coverage of this controversy.

Democrat Sam Hall knew Evans didn't live in his district. Think about it.

There are still two candidates in the Democratic Primary besides Sam.

Pete Perry on the R side as well.

And Kingfish's on again off again buddy Pete Perry on the other side.

Oh my!
Regardless of the facts in this case...I don't care really...what a great new way to rid yourself of opponents!

All one has to do is keep filing legal challenges to either cause legal fees or time to be squandered until they all say " no mas" !

This is funny is Hell.

@11:09 Do you really believe Jim Evans decided not to run because of legal challenges? He decided not to run because of the likely outcome from legal challenges. Maybe you can't understand the difference. The difference is he was parading under false colors and about to be exposed in court.

3:48pm most likely 11:09am is an idiot. Tell them to watch the video of the hearing. Those lies would be admissible in court. Stuff was about to get real.

And yes this is funny as heck!

And his wife would have LIED under oath and all of the ramifications afterward.

This is a shame. There is no telling how many members of the legislature know about this kind of conduct. They should be held accountable for not reporting it and the Democratic Party empire should report themselves as incompetent.

If the members of the legislature were deposed under oath and had to testify as to their knowledge of Bobby Moak's residence, there were be a lot of evidence against him or a lot of perjury charges. I'm not talking just about his previous home, but his new mansion too.

Resigning should not be enough when they get caught with their pants down. They should be prosecuted. Jim Hood could really show he has balls then. But I forgot, he too is a Democrat. That ain't never gonna happen.

3:48 pm Thank you. I understand the difference.
I'm saying the tactic would work just as well whether the challenges are valid or not.

Will have to agree with some of this. The Clarion-Ledger gives Evans a total pass and future generations will believe, just reading archives that he served honorably. Not so and they should have told the entire tale. I resent that he will draw state retirement. Of course, not sure one of our Senators lives in Mississippi very often.

Holding a position while one of the requirements for said position is based on a fiction is not earning anything. Most folks call that fraud.

Place of residence is a local/district/party requirement, not a condition of membership in the retirement system.

The burden on the system could be sliced over night if all those who presented fraudulent resumes with their PERS job applications were outed. And if all those who, on a daily basis, commit fraud in expenses and acceptance of gifts. Just think...an overnight PERS surplus of six billion dollars.

Not to mention all the fat cats who have been prosecuted who will draw for the rest of their lives. Living out of district is chicken shit compared to that.

And if Steve Holland draws a dime I hope his casket floats.

Retirement or no retirement, the racist liar and his troll, racist liar wife are gone. The Ledger can run from it, but he was caught with his pants down. Thanks Sam for ridding the state of this scourge.

What about the Blackmons? He lives in Jackson and everyone knows it. Barbara B. Is running for Senate again.

LOL, 8:49 I've been told the Blackmons call that house off Beasley "the pool house".
