I believe some people are getting worried about the newbies running them out.

One thing I know for sure, while Sheila Jones may agree with the mayor on corruption and its roots within the board - which I assume is common knowledge - she is no one's puppet. Knowing where she stands on any subject has never been a difficult riddle to solve.

Do not does!!! did a CL employee produce and proof this?

The only puppeteer in Madison County is Rudy---The three new supervisors may sing and dance but not to Rudy's tune.

Is there anyway I can get a copy of this flyer from somewhere? Love it.

what is the return address for this mailer - who is paying for this mailer?

In case any of you politicians from madison are reading this, the next one of you asshats that comes to my door with that damn litter in your hand will be greeted with a shotgun. I will tell you to get off my property and count to five.

Oh SNAP!!!!

Looking at the sample ballot I can only say: "Too bad they can't all lose" :-(

Has anyone actually received this? I see the same picture here and on Butler, Ford and Jones FB pages. Is this for real?

I thought she had her hands full making the FBI dance. What a talent!

I'm voting against any candidate who has an animated advertisement on JJ. It's hard to concentrate on the lofty repartee with those irritatingly repetitive cartoon loops in one's field of vision.

If this comment gets past Kingfish, we will have further proof that he is a man of courage.

MHB is a person that has been politically successful but is also a person that few people actually like. As a politician, she is vicious and will do or say anything to further her agenda regardless of who gets in the way and what harm they suffer. If anyone thinks she is truly upset about county finances, check yourself into Whitfield. She is upset because she is not in total control. She is a local megalomaniac.

Funny. Two of the three "Republicans" on the Madison Board dance to the tune of Rudy and the Democrats on the BOS. John Howland and John Bell Crosby are about as Republican as Mike Espy, the guy they keep as board attorney.

Tim Johnson is responsible for this mailer.

Is he seriously blaming another person. For the fact he was caught? Clean Sweep Madison... and Mary for Auditor!

Yes, we received this today. Political advertising in Mississippi requires a disclaimer/paid for line. This does not have one -- just a sentence on the other side that refers to a mysterious "We" in "We don't don't think so" in response to a rhetorical question about does the county want MHB running things. It has a standard presort PAID printed in the address box with Kackson, MS Permit No. 1005 on it.

Chiken-you-know-whats don't want voters to know who funded this piece of garbage that ended up in my mailbox.

I tell you what...It looks desperate. It makes me wonder when the indictment is coming to Pickering, why the Party is not acting, and what genius political consultant is about to be out of work forever. More than that, the Supervisors are scared and probably have their calculators out trying to figure out how to make it financially if Madison ends corruption with their votes.
I am glad this political mistake of desperation didn't end up in my District 1 mailbox. I support Shelia Jones, Attorney at Law, as my family's representative on the Board for District 1. We should have a well credentialed lawyer on the Board.
I believe our Mayor will put a dent in corruption for the State. She has obviously put some fear in the hearts of the Supers and Pickering and so have her anti-corruption counterparts.
Now it appears to be time to make fun of ending corruption in Madison and the State with this salacious junk of an ad. What a compliment to the characters in the cartoon.
Napoleon once said, "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake." I can't say much to Mary or the 3 clean Supervisor candidates besides...don't interrupt the enemy right now...They are advertising a desperation to keep their paws in the "till." And they don't have the courage to put anyone's name on the ad.

Anonymous 5:24 ...Tell us what Tim Johnson's stake in this match is.

The mailer helped me to decide who I will support. This trash reeks of desperation...must be something Pickering and Rudy needs to worry about.

Mary Hawkins will lose this election handily.

But she inflicted the damage she was paid and will be paid for the rest of her life to have done.

When this much money is laying around....crazy things happen.

I have not received one, but was told they are 'winding up' in mailboxes. Not sure if they're sent through the US Mail or stuffed by the group of kids Crosby has out there stealing signs.

The big meeting is just about over at Madison Central and all the candidates have had an opportunity to speak. Can't wait to hear if Howland was actually able to stand up and talk without reading what Crosby gave him. And it is correct that the real puppeteer in Madison County is Rudolph, the man behind the curtain.

5:50, yeah, got it today & wondered could the permit # be used to trace the sender.

It came addressed to my Republican kid, actually, not to me, so someone's got a GOP-only list.

I certainly changed my mind about 3 weeks ago on which candidate I would try to elect to the Madison Board of Supervisors. It is not an incumbent. That terrible road north of 463 east of I55N which we are all paying for and cannot even know who the LLC partners are helps me to decide. The flash of the chosen few who reap great benefits from the taxpayers of Madison County helped me to decide. An honest conversation with the one who is asking for my vote helped me to decide. So what if Mayor Mary is supporting the three who are trying to defeat the sitting Board? A whole lot of conscientious voters are also supporting them. Will their votes be controlled by Mary? The answer is No!

Rudy is getting worried. His cash cow may be slipping away from him. I would love to know how much he has spent to get his boys back in office. I am sure it would amaze us, the taxpayers.

I wonder where Terry Lovelace weighs in on all this, since he is getting dirt and utility work that Rudy is inspecting? And let's not forget about Lost Rabbit...Rudy, Terry?

8:24, I would love for the public to know who paid for this just so I could see them squirm and say why they didn't put their name on it as required. Why are they hiding? I've never seen a political ad here without the disclaimer. Actually, I've never seen one anywhere at any level and.i moved around a lot before landing here 20 years ago. They must be targeting young voters because the one we received was addressed to my 20-something son.

It's a weird and creepy ad. I assume we know who prepared and distributed it, but that's all.

Rumor has it D.I. Smith is behind this mailer. Who else would talk about D.I. Smith behind himself. Either him or North Korea that's all I can think of.

ALL of you long winded self righteous blathering sherlock holmes types have it all wrong. I have it on good authority that the notorious carpet bagger Foghorn Leghorn is behind this scurrilous assault on Queen Mary. SHAME on you Foghorn!

During the big MONA candidates meeting in Madison, an equally disturbing flyer was put on every car in the parking lot. It was a fake T. Baxter postcard, saying a bunch of horrible stuff, and his opponent, Howland, was a no show at the candidate forum....to busy putting the trashy flyers on every car.

Is ANYONE not residing in Madison the City voting for MHB?

Tell the voters about Smith, Lovelace, Tim Johnson, and the Madison Board of Supervisors. Tell the unconfined truth. Tell us the facts. These facts are very important.

Ask the good folks of Reunion, Rudy is showing no signs of worrying about losing his cash cow. This is the guy who posts pictures on FB of his four year old daughter walking around with a Louis Vuitton handbag.

Ha! I knew it! Howland, a no show. Who can be surprised? The man can't pour piss out of a bucket off the back porch unless his wife tells him how it's done. No surprise he would not show up and actually SPEAK!

I love how road crews blocked the intersection of Madison Ave and Highland Colony Pwk. I nearly ran into Steen when I had to make a turn around to head back out to 463. Nice planning... kill off the voters in a car wreck. Road work will only take 60 day to complete... Let it rain...let it rain...

It may indeed only take 60 days to complete the road work. HOWEVER, why not start as soon as school was out last May instead of just before school starts back in August?

WHERE WAS JOHNNY?????? JOHNNY WHO?????

Talk about puppets. Howland cannot tie his own shoe laces. His wife has to show him how, just like Rudy has to tell him how to vote. I think that after missing two candidate events, it should show the residents in District 2 who the best candidate is.

GOOD BYE JOHNNY!!!!!!!!

John Howland failed to even show up inside the event held for all Madison County candidates? (It's apparent he was outside the event placing anti-baxter cards on the windshields of the cars). How is this acceptable for a sitting Supervisor? If you're afraid to stand behind your campaign, that's telling.

Rudy and his pack have spent a gazillion dollars to keep Howland and Crosby in office. Unfortunately, most people do not know what is going on and will vote for the person with the most name recognition or the guy who welcomed them into the grocery store because he was "nice". Tim Johnson is the hidden 6th Supervisor. He keeps the money going to his cronies.

Crosby would not second a motion last year to decrease taxes, so essentially he voted for higher taxes.

John Bell Crosby ad I got in the mail a few days ago shows prepaid postage permit no. 1005, FYI.

Don't know jack about postage permits, but 10:51 sez the Crosby mail he received has the same permit number (1005) as the Clean Sweep cartoon.

Howland suffers from Mic Fright. Can't talk to more than one person at a time. Never spoke up at a city meeting and I attended many of them. He just sits there and grins like a jackass and waits for somebody to nod a code for his vote. But he reads a statement in his commercial saying he 'has worked HARD as a county supervisor'. He's been one for, what, five months? He's just now learning how to drive that county pickup.

For what it is worth, I suspect "Mayor Mary's" numbers on the coast will be surprising because 1, all the Madison county stuff is largely unknown down there - not many on the coast have a stake in any of it, and what may the bigger reason, 2, she isn't Stacey Pickering. If he wins the primary and then another shoe (or RV or BMW or Disney-pimping wife or ginormous "travel expenses" or "clerical error" or...) drops, he ain't out of the woods. And down there, any accusations by Pickering or surrogates that allege that she resorts to dirty politics are going to sound like, well, dirty politics because the folks down there don't know or care about local Madison County pissing contests, they just know she isn't Pickering.

Howland just follows Bank's and Griffin's lead in voting. That is how he got confused on the insurance matter.

Having no dog in the hunt and politics aside, the caricature in this handbill looks very well done. There's some artistry to it.

Rudy and Howland should have come inside the enjoyed the ac at the meeting last night. Instead they were sweating putting out those bogus flyers. I wonder if there were security cameras.
