Plaintiff Kimberly Bracey amended her sexual harassment lawsuit against Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber and the city today. Mrs. Bracey was the former Executive Assistant to Mayor Yarber. The original complaint stated:
18. In August or September 2014, Plaintiff was required to attend another fundraiser for Defendant Yarber and Tyrone Lewis in Atlanta that was hosted by Mitzi Bickers. After the fundraiser Plaintiff was required to go with Defendant Yarber and Aaron Banks for another gathering at Ms. Bicker's home. Again strippers wearing only body paint greeted them at the door. Ms. Bickers had arranged for a woman to have a sexual relationship with Defendant Yarber while Plaintiff was attending a fundraiser in Atlanta, Georgia.
The paragraph was amended to
18. In August or September 2014, Plaintiff was required to attend another fundraiser for Defendant Yarber and Tyrone Lewis in Atlanta that was hosted by Mitzi Bickers. Ms. Bickers had arranged for a woman to have a sexual relationship with Defendant Yarber while Plaintiff was attending this fundraiser in Atlanta, Georgia. The next day after the fundraiser, Plaintiff was required to go with Defendant Yarber for another gathering at Ms. Bickers’ home. Again strippers wearing only body paint greeted them at the door. While Tyrone Lewis and his staff were present at the fundraiser, they were not present the next day when strippers were present at Ms. Bickers’ home.
Mr. Banks told JJ that he and then-Sheriff Lewis flew back the next day and arrived in Jackson in the early afternoon on that Saturday. The fund-raiser was held on Friday night. Mr. Banks was a Deputy Chief Administrative Officer in the Yarber Administration when the fund-raiser was held. He was the campaign manager for Tyrone Lewis in his 2011 and 2015 campaigns for Sheriff.
A special meeting of the Jackson City Council will be held tomorrow to discuss the lawsuit.

Liar, Liar. Pants on fire. But, Kim please keep your pants on.
So, this inaccuracy was only caught by one of those erroneously mentioned in the suit. How many other inaccuracies are there??
I'm totally confused by paragraph 18. Are they saying that The Reverend Mayor and staff DID go Chez Mitzi, on the second day? Or did they NOT go? If they DID go, on the second day, to the home of Reverend Mitzi, did they go at a time when the strippers were not at the door, "greeting"? Or, maybe the strippers were kept outdoors, and as "The Yard Help", are not to be counted as 'present'.
So, the importance of the correction seems to be that Tyromes is now able to say "I know nuthin"?
If I were the legal reps for Bracey, I'd be very concerned with putting her up on the witness stand...should it go to trial, that is. On second thought, knowing this firm, it'll probably settle.
It's just a bunch of hoes n pimps
How do we know there were strippers at the door?
Just when one thinks politics can't get more insane, we have this and...drum roll...
Rick Perry is going to be on Dancing with the Stars.
And, using Trump's crazy logic about Mrs. Weiner being a security risk, shouldn't we worry that Melania was raised and educated in the old Soviet Union and might be a sleeper spy who was told to seduce Trump and convince him to run for President?
God help us! We've put the patients in charge of the asylum!
The patients in charge of the asylum from which you obviously escaped.
7:38 is roaming the halls and has a key to the meds cabinet. Be afraid.
Can someone "in the know" please tell me why the hell the mayor of Jackson, MS needs to have a "funraiser" in Atlanta, New Orleans and Houston TX? At the time he was the potential mayor of Jackson, MS. Do they think he's a celebrity or the president? $1000 to eat dinner with the mayor in New Orleans....I'll pass. This is out of control.
8:22 and 8:31 - 7:38's comment is accurate. By your commentary and dismissal of that viewpoint I assume you are Trump supporters? Let me tell you what is going to happen. Trump is a wack job, a bigot and completely unfit for the position of President. He will continue to illustrate this as we move forward. His campaign is a comedy of errors. he will not win the election.
Perhaps you would like to declare your intention to leave the country if Clinton is elected? That would be very nice. Please encourage all of your small minded, fake christian racist bigot friends in Mississippi to join your exodus.
Plaintiffs may have lost the high ground. They should have dotted their "i"s and cross their "t"s before filing the original complaint. This hurts the Plaintiff team's credibility. If they got one thing wrong, what else may be wrong or inaccurate?
WILL YOU DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK, MARV?
Get a court order, pull all hard drives of city employees and you will find they all use city equipment for personal use at one time in their career. As a former 33 year civil service employee, you think we sit at our desk and never use our agency technology for personal use! For you Pastor Mayor. You are playing with people careers. Remember BLACK LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES MATTER!!! If you need more booty, you can troll the streets of Jackson at night pretending to save souls.
8:57 I guess the US Army listed Hillary Clinton and others asan internal security risks just for the heck of it.I did not see a Trump on this list.See for yourself here. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/23/hillary-clinton-pegged-as-insider-threat-in-army-u/
9:23 - so - you think Donald Trump with access to nuclear launch codes and the ability to alienate every country on the planet is not a security threat? Clinton may be dirty and self-serving in areas but she is not prone to rash reactionary adolescent bluster and off the cuff inane and obtuse pronouncements. She is the lesser of two unfortunate choices.
She does have governmental experience, foreign policy knowledge and is accepted on an international level by the allies of the US. She is smart and educated. That should be enough. In addition she has not declared bankruptcy 4 times, nor has she embarrassed our country on a global level by making racist or bigoted statements on a regular basis while she stands as a contender for the presidency of our country. With the checks and balances held by Congress and the high probability that her actions will be closely monitored - Clinton is the only viable choice this country has at the moment.
"Trump is a wack job, a bigot and completely unfit for the position of President."
I thought for a second you were talking about the current president. Next?
8:40 those fundraisers - along with others that are not included in this suit or your question,were generally aimed at 'engineering firms' with the sales pitch that the consent decree contract could be reworked along with the new sales tax work. I would suggest that you check his campaign finance statements to see the contributors - but he hasn't filed them.
and this has what to do with the subject of the post?
Yeah, what does Clinton and Trump have to do with Tony's horndoggin' around Hotlanta and Nawlins
Maybe Mayor Rev. Tony's alleged behavior reminds us all of Bill Clinton's exploits and subsequent lies and his wife's rush to defend him, are related in our minds?? Even Marshall Ramsey did an excellent job of linking the two. Us sitting out here in "communication land" just flow from Jackson's power base to the national power base, which of course includes both Clintons and Trump.
I am still Pollyanna enough to believe there are some moral people in politics.
My apologies for the fact that responses have gone off-topic. But....some stupid comments just can't be left lying there.
@10:02 - I realize that Hillary Clinton supporters are generally not the brightest bulbs in the box but, heavenly days! Do you think that the POTUS can just pull some codes out of his pocket and launch nuclear weapons??? The ONLY thing those codes DO is allow the person to provide absolute proof of his identity/authority to order certain military actions. They don't "launch" anything!! As for Trump's "alienations", it looks to me like he's only alienated a few people that NEED to be alienated. I'd much rather have a president who is not afraid to tell our enemies that we will not tolerate them crossing the line than to have one like Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton) who lets them do whatever they want, whenever they want, where ever they want with absolutely no fear of retaliation. Case in point: Iraq's constant harassment of ships in international waters; China building an islands in the South China Sea.

O.k., I can agree with that to an extent. But Hillary shouldn't be judged on Bill's sexual escapades. Now if there's evidence of her stepping outside of her marriage to Bill, after the fact can anyone blame her?
Second, our marital institutions in this country and outdated. People are now way more in-tune with their sexuality and what kind of relationships work for them. Gay, straight, bi-sexual, asexual, monogamous, polyamorous, polygamous, heterosexual, metrosexual.
And if you are a so-called christian conservative, how in the hell does Donald Trump get a pass in your book, when he doesn't even have a home church, been married 4 times, has kids from 3 different marriages. How does that fit in with good wholesome family values?
Typically, people are going to have sex. Can we be mad at them for pursuing their natural inhibitions? No! But we hold our elected officials to these super standards in regards to judging character. When all we should be focused on is their level of intelligence, and whether or not, they can do the job and deliver results.
Sick and tired of the double standards and hypocrisy from politicians and their surrogates/advocates.
1:32 and her previous postings here, reveal many personal insecurities.
Why would any of us care who has sex with whom? And if Tony Yarber's wife puts up with him spreading himself around, why would I care one way or the other. If this City and this Country were prosperous and striving, I wouldn't care if the President, Congress, Governors, and Mayors all got into a pile and had sex with each other. If Mrs. Bracey was fired for not continuing an affair with the Mayor, yes, that is bad. However, when you're having an affair with your boss, that's the risk you take.
Why do I care? Because I am sick and tired of Yarber using the City of Jackson as his personal ATM machine - for cash, or for women. If he hired Bracey because of sex, then that cost the taxpayers money. If he hired her because of her competence and ability to do the job, but fired her because of sex that not only cost the taxpayers money, but is also very, very illegal, according to federal EEOC laws.
If he is traveling around the country raising 'campaign contributions' (although unreported) from engineering firms that want in on his supposed infrastructure program, that is not only costing the city money (for his and staff's travel and stripper experiences) but also for their not handling their other duties. And when it got around to awarding these engineering contracts, the question is 'who got them, and what did it cost extra'? Remember K. Powell's having to adjust the scoring on a response to the RFP at the treatment plant? Had to get it so that Tony's boys would be found to be the lowest and therefore awarded the contract. That process has been going on since day one of the Yarber administration. And that is why I care; if you choose not to that's fine with me.
When and how can we call the feds in on this crap? Certainly this warrants an investigation. Yes, we know they'll cry "it's racist", but come on...
AT 12:16. You mentioned this: "And if you are a so-called christian conservative, how in the hell does Donald Trump get a pass in your book, when he doesn't even have a home church, been married 4 times, has kids from 3 different marriages. How does that fit in with good wholesome family values?"
We voted Bill Clinton and Obama in, well someone voted them in.... AND THEY WERE "good men with wholesome family values"..... So, uuummm, maybe it's time we give someone else a shot at being President. Everybody deserves an equal chance, isn't that what some people preach? Give Trump a chance to be "as good as Clinton and Obama". Fair is fair right??
At least the Mayor hasn't been riding around trying to close the Jackson strip clubs.
