I just had to google Costco to see what it was.

let's hope they will still come- after all it's a very pro LGBT company. let's hope Nissan, Toyota, continental tire, ingalls all decide to stay...

PayPal isn't bringing 400 jobs to Charlotte now...

I just had to google BlackBerry Passport to see what it was.

Live blog?

Make everyone mind their manners. Frustrated lonely and bored doctor and lawyer wives have been known to lose their life perspective and take their anger out in inappropriate places.

Update us

McGee is ready to sacrifice his entire legacy. How much was he paid?

Hi Donner. Thanks for trolling KF's TwitterCoverage.

Idiot. NObody was paid a cent.

Is that you Andrew?

Occam's razor... Of course someone is getting paid.

Funny that you think Andrew or Donner from either of their perspectives would be on here!

Gene and Mattiace are well aware of the money arrayed from the west side of HC to take them to the mat in court. Stupid Gene thinks they are only there to be milked.

Public record. Look it up.

Donner reads here multiple times an hour greenhorn. Ever since Kingfish launched his own competing business. Please catch up. Quickly. For your sake.

Time to start chalking the bike paths with political statements. Don't you think Gene?

The people pissed off about the possibility of Costco locating on HCP have only themselves to blame. They should have done their due diligence as to why HCP was built and known was designed as a commercial development BEFORE they bought houses in the area. The cry babies have complained about every new structure being built in the area. If you don't like it then get the heck out!

9:26 you're making yourself look stupid. You don't know what you're talking about. You and yours have tried to intimidate and threaten at least one too many of your own neighbors!

Your name and legacy is MUD Gene.

If you don't like it then get the heck out!

Hey, that attitude has worked for the Jackson Boomtown. Right?

Hope you enjoy the legal bills Gene incurs on your behalf. Let's see who cries from the financial paid first. The schmoes or the people with homes near HC.

Personally, I can't wait to not go to Costco wherever it's located.

Wish we had a thread to talk about bullshit law that Feelip, Feel, and Tater wasted time on while our roads and bridges are crumbling under us. I hope that bridge holds up while y'all sit in traffic tomorrow. If it doesn't, I guess you can blame the gay folks.

9:32 for my sake? Are you freaking kidding me? As if anything someone like you thinks has a thing to do with my sake? Get. A. Life.

This court battle is going to be glorious @9:38. Can't wait to tap the bottom of your meager pockets.

Gene is fine. West Ridgeland needs to realize their small (though loud and rude) percentage.

Johanna Richter is HOT!

9:55 My pockets are not affected. You tried and failed to collect for the silly lawsuit. Friendly neighbor.

I guess a Costco would take EBT and draw the apartment dwelling crowd from Old Canton to Highland Colony for the weekly supply run. As much as I hate hyperbole and hysteria what exactly would prevent a Costco from looking like the old Sam's on County Line in a few years?

I cannot wait to load my minivan and head to Ridgeland's Costco! I plan to buy a years supply of toilet paper, paper plates, paper towels, beef jerky and detergent. If there is a god in heaven, they will be serving samples of Vienna sausage and fancy ice cream for me to snack on while shopping

I'm sure our Guv hopes that 9:52 keeps posting. With enemies this devoid of logic, our Guv looks better and better.

This may all be moot. Costco is now reconsidering its plan to open a store in Mississippi after the passage of the Freedom to Discriminate Law.

Wouldn't it be funny if Costco were to pull out because of the recent can't jail religious bigots law

All the BS aside, someone up there ^^^ asked what seems to be a very good question. Loosely quoting here, "What's to keep a Highland Colony Costco from looking exactly like the Jackson Sam's Club in a couple of years?"

Do we really need another place to buy large quantities of ketchup, peanuts, paper clips, salsa, sectioned foam plates, frozen chicken breasts and Vietnamese shrimp?

Amazingly, the new Sams Club in Madison has a full parking lot every day but there's not a damned thing you can buy there that you can't buy at Wal Mart and other places all over the Metro. Maybe it's the 'Club Card' that makes people feel special. And they give you a credit card when you join too. So, there's that.

This is going to be tied up in court for a very long time.

The battle lines that have been drawn are going to make for an ugly Muni in 2017. The majority behind this Costco subterfuge better start fundraising their asses off right now because there's going to be big, big money targeting their defeats. Guaranteed.

I know a lot of people in other areas who love COSTCO vs. Sam's. I own my businesses so everything I have is tied up in customer service, quality products and daily risk because as Sam Walton said "people vote with their feet". For those of you who don't own businesses...like it or not, Madison and Ridgeland are sandwiched between Jackson and Holmes County. Look at the license plates. Cities grow and it's a free country. HCP is a commercial project and it will continue to be saturated with more businesses which pay the majority of taxes. I don't live in Ridgeland but I think Gene is a very good mayor and he understands Ridgeland doesn't exist in a vacuum and you can either manage inevitable, constant change or you can, like Jackson, sit on your hands and hope for the best. Now I have to get to work selling stuff so you can buy stuff so I can pay taxes so the state and feds can spend the money in whatever way they choose. And if Bernie becomes president I'll quite, put on the black pajama uniform and line up for my share of rice along with everyone else.

8:45,
Didn't last night's action take the wind out of the sails of the lawsuit? Essentially ratifying the vote with proper notice. It looked to me like the board members voted as their most vocal constituents wanted. Perhaps some will be upset with Gene, but the majority still backed the action. So, the majority plus the non-vocal in the dissenting districts easily makes this a non-issue come election time.

LOL You don't live in Ridgeland but you show up here to carry water for McGee. LOL Sure, anything you say. LOL

The lady doth LOL too much, methinks.

Everything is an issue come election time. You obviously know very little about elections.
