Court of Appeals backs Auditor against Greg Davis

State Auditor Stacey Pickering issued the following press release:


Court of Appeals Upholds Ruling on Former Mayor Greg Davis
 
The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed the ruling of the Hinds County Chancery Court in its judgment holding Greg Davis liable for funds he misappropriated while Mayor of Southaven.
The State Auditor’s Office originally issued a demand against Greg Davis for $170,782.28 in November of 2011 following an investigation into the misuse of funds as Mayor of Southaven. Davis paid $96,000.00 of the demand before OSA initiated suit.
“This has been a long process since our investigation began in 2011, but we are pleased with the court’s verdict,” Auditor Pickering said.  “We remain committed to returning the funds owed to the citizens of Southaven.”
Davis is ordered to repay the remaining $73,915.17 owed for illegal credit card payments, unauthorized travel, personal expenses, and unauthorized mileage reimbursements. The court ordered all cost for the state to appeal must be paid by Davis.
The Court found Greg Davis illegally induced the City of Southaven to pay for personal expenses, including a family vacation and counseling services.
Davis was found guilty of embezzlement in 2014, and he has appealed his criminal conviction. That case is pending.

$67.00 Won't buy much at a place like Priape.

Maybe a small butt plug or a dydoe (installation not included). Probably some reading materials.

Compare Southhaven's ex-Mayor's conviction (or lack thereof) to the one handed down in Rankin County for Terry's ex-Mayor. Both evidentally did wrong. Was Southhaven's Mayor jailed until trial? Was arrested on the job and handcuffed? Was he "perp-walked" in chains? Some of Terry's Mayor's so-called personal expenses were at an Urban Forrestry Convention. Maybe City related. Some were for the Volunteer Fire Department. Some were on actual trips to various Government agencies and places like CMPDD. But they were not seperated out from the total amount charged to him. Pickering can remain dedicated to returning funds but to be slack in what people are actually charged with is not proper. The "color" of the law is very gray in these two cases.

5:47- The Memphis media was all over Davis. They are the one's that 'outed' him. Jackson media wasn't that interested, but trust me he didn't get a pass.

As for sentences, that is up to the court. The Terry mayor could have taken a plea deal which was house arrest but he chose not to.

For Davis, I am pretty sure he was sentenced to prison as part of the criminal trial but that he is appealing that. I bet when all is said and done the two spend about the same amount of time in jail.

5:47 - Well, one person had Steve Farese as his attorney; the other had Dale Danks. You can figure out which.

Southaven residents helped Davis make some of those earlier installment payments because the mean ol' Memphis media was picking on him. How stupid do they feel today?

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.
