Jackson Jambalaya

Which thread KF do you want us to use to discuss Bill Billingsley and the international relations fiasco killing of Cecil the Lion?

Did Bill kill a lion? Man, you take a nap...

Zack Wallace. Anyone else for Circuit Clerk will be a disaster. The Sheriff and DA get all the attention, but we need a capable Circuit Clerk. He's been running the place anyway, might as well pay him for it.

Billingsley release the results of his polling of NEJackson yet?

Tyrone Lewis has been instrumental in keeping Hinds County together. He's honest and loyal and Hinds County needs him.

7:38 is exactly right about Zack Wallace. I have admired his work ethic and ability since he started working for the Circuit Clerk's office.
Zack knows the office and will start on day one doing an excellent job as Circuit Clerk. He will not need to have a learning curve time and waste taxpayers money.

KF, are you doing statewide races tomorrow?

There are a handful of great candidates running in the Aug. 4 primary in Hinds County: Eddie Fair for tax collector, Victor Mason for sheriff, Zack Wallace for circuit clerk. I'm also voting for Cecil Brown for PSC. All of these folks seem exceptionally qualified and interested in public service.

Cecil Brown is interested in Cecil Brown. And PERS.

Hattiesburg Jambalaya? Are you expanding Kingfish? Is yalljackson.com and yallmississippi.com you also?

Forgive me for not knowing, but do any Justice Court judges in Hinds County have opponents this year???

Hopefully you all are aware that Greer is merely Phillip Gunns puppet. If you want Gunn out, better vote against Greer.

8:32.

You're joking right? Tyrone Lewis is the worst thing to happen to Hinds County in the last decade. No one of sound mind will vote for him.

Unfortunately it's a lot of mindless people that will vote for the train wreck Tyrone Lewis. I just hope there is more sensible people who realize the administration is detrimental to Hinds County. Tyrone Lewis is for Tyrone Lewis the man has made a mockery of the badge by giving one to any and everyone. That man has to be sent home.

A few years ago The State Supreme Court labeled the Hinds Circuit Clerk's Office as a "clerical disaster." These matters give me confidence that the office will improve under a Wallace administration. He's nice and polite but the job requires proven leadership. I am voting for Mumford. Sure the trial lawyers may be uncomfortable because they will not get their "picks" but one must do what is best for the County.

Let's not forget Lynn Fitch's disasters, beginning with the new performance appraisal system for state employees implemented while she ran the state personnel board. The new system does not count or grade performance of an employee's duties, but instead only asks a bunch of touchy-feely subjective questions like does he have a good attitude, get to work on time, mentor others and consider stakeholders' views. All good things, but if one's job is to pave roads, they probably ought to ask how many miles of road got paved correctly and how long it took. She got rid of those kinds of questions.

District 3 Supervisor is a no-win scenario - God help us. Zach Wallace will do a fine job as Circuit Clerk, Munford is another Kenny Stokes. Victor Mason has a big job trying to undo 8 years of T-bone's mess. Santore is not a great candidate but Fair is a fiscal and personal nightmare - remember the $60k 'supposedly' stolen from his office in Raymond?

LOL The McRae campaign is running on fumes.

This Circuit Clerk's Office is poorly run and has been so for many years. Its the dirty little secret among lawyers I speak with. I am amazed at how this office and its leader has escaped the scorn of this group. Entitlement and privilege perhaps? This office needs an overhaul. I agree with 8:32 a.m. and I will be voting for Mumford.

Not sure where to post this but it's pretty funny. I know what this actually is, but it looks like Tony Yarber went to the Middle East to give a state of the city address: http://wlbt.images.worldnow.com/images/8447912_G.jpg

Cedric Morgan is an experienced professional in local and state government and is the best choice for Hinds County Circuit Clerk. He has a rare combination of technology and government experience. He has the capabilities to modernize the office. I think his vision is the way to go into the future.

Why not to vote for Vikki Mumford as we all know she is a secretary not a clerk. If Mrs. Mumford could do such a great job why didn't she beat Mrs. Dunn. I'm so glad someone told Dunn to step down and stop costing us money for her illegal mistakes Birds of the same feather will flock together. "illegal, jail" Now the last guy, hmmmmmmm I don't know much about him, his name is Morgan. I say at this point anybody is better then those other two.

Remember how great Mumford ran Judge Wingate's office? NOT. Zack Wallace is the go-to guy at the Hinds County Circuit Clerk's Office. Wish he could be cloned and placed in ever government agency.

Part of the problem is people have just plain given up on Jackson and Hinds COunty. The post about Madison sample ballot got over 5,000 hits. Rankin County got over 2,500. Hinds? A little over 500.

Rec'd Billingsley's weak attempt at an attack mailer at my Jackson abode today.

Billingsley is a Successful Businessman while Longwitz is an Attorney.

Billingsley is a Decorated Military Veteran while Longwitz has No Military Experience.

Billingsley is a Citizen Legislator while Longwitz is a Career Politician.

Billingsley is Anti-Common Core while Longwitz Voted to Keep Common Core.

Billingsley is For Special Needs Children while Longwitz Voted Against Special Needs Children.

But Billingsley forgot to mention one add'l point of differentiation.

Billingsley FULLY SUPPORTS dumping OXFORD HOUSES into unsuspecting neighborhoods while Longwitz opposes the homeowner capitulation dictates of MDMH government bureacrats like Mikula and Avery.

Can anyone here provide useful info about the three people running for supervisor in district 1? I see tons of signs for Graham, Grear, and Wilson, but haven't received information from any of them. I know that Graham is the incumbent, but compared to the other two, does he deserve reelection?

Lt. Robert Graham may get re-elected but there is no way, no how that completely corrupt politician should be re-elected nor deserves to be re-elected.

Robert Graham is the one vote sitting there on the Hinds BOS who in the blink of an eye will vote to fuck Hinds County over in wave after wave of new corruption the very second two other like minded people take the oath for the BOS.

This is the Supervisor who still, to this very day, traipses around these United States doing his dispatcher training flat out lying that he was a sworn Lieutenant of the Jackson Police Department and was at one time actively out on the streets doing police work. Graham is a serial impersonator. What does that tell you?

At the very least, if enough people vote for Grear or Wilson the election can be forced into a runoff. Don't vote for Graham and if the election goes to a runoff do all you can to turn him out.

AIRWAVE AIRWAVE AIRWAVE

I don't think people have given up on Jackson and Hinds County. People have lost trust in the political process. Many believe that their vote does not matter. Big money in politics is destroying our democracy.

Have to agree about Graham. He's disgusting.

Aug. 1, 3:56 (Amile)(Mrs. Longwitz), did you realize that Billingsley's efforts to rid the neighborhood of the Oxford House scourge have yielded exactly the same result as Longwitz's? I admire your dedication to your candidate and your fake cause, but lots of us aren't single issue voters and appreciate what the other guy brings to the table. Plus, we already know that it's a federal issue and there's nothing Longwitz can do to rid us of OH and nothing Billingsley can do to help them.
