Jackson Jambalaya

This is why we need two flags.

I'm glad someone is calling a halt to this crap at the Legislature. Women have put up with this in our Capitol for far too many, many years. It is inexcusable. It needs to stop immediately. When it continues it needs to be called out just as this courageous Supervisor did. Sunlight on the subject is clearly the best disinfectant here. Let the sunlight shine on!!!!

KF who does/did he represent?

The silver bullet of "calling out". LMAO

Is anyone is surprised by this? Most of the lobbyists, legislators and hangers-on surrounding the political process will screw, jerk, and suck their way to get their desired result, or demand same. I'm glad to see Martin call this bullshit out.

"That lobbyist, Scott Levanway, has come forward and taken responsibility for the exchange.

In a statement sent to WLOX News Now, Levanway apologized for his behavior, saying the comments were out of character."

Out of character, huh; maybe because someone finally called you out. Likely excuse...nice try Scott...by the way, I hear Harvey Weinstein is giving a course on how to handle these type of situations.

Saying this is "out of character" is not much of an apology.

Maybe Levanway can go back to representing bingo clients in front of the gaming commission, this kind of shit sounds like something they'll tolerate

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Scott.

At least she isn't waiting for 5 to 10 years to go by before she putting it out there. Good for her.......

Martin's husband used to be a commercial fisherman in Alaska, Scott's lucky he didn't get his ass kicked.

"And I will redouble my life-long commitment to respecting women and behaving in a way that reflects my true values"

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot does that even mean? Who does he lobby for? I'm assuming no one special using that kind of verbiage. Possibly no one as of this morning. Only creepers and D-bags use that phrase directly.

Terrible action by Scott. And yes it has been going on for too long. Some of the most successful lobbyists got their start in this very manner, not words but actions - so better be careful about thinking this lewd behavior is a one way street.

Ahh, Internet shaming. Very brave, Mrs. Burkholder. I mean, "Ms. Martin." Welcome to the #MeToo club!

To be clear, his remark was totally inappropriate, particularly in that context. It was crass, and there's no excuse for it. But her response was disproportionate to the offense.

To 8:50

What?

Wonder if this was the first time a sexual exchange took place between these two? Levanway's remark isn't exactly one that would be made to a stranger, or even one that would be made in jest unless there was some history there.

Scott has been a douche for the 30 years I've known him, cannot believe he is still around. And shame on your comments accusing her of anything; he was probably just drunk again.

The answer is always "no" if you don't ask.

7:55 If Mississippi get "two" flags then the Mississippi elite win once again in further dividing and confusing the citizenry. Where is the leadership? Crickets. The state is devolving before our very eyes back to shouting the "Never!" battle cry that permeates from the rebel attitude. No remorse, do shame, no reconciliation, no integration, no cooperation. No progress, and last in everything. Sigh.

I wish every single prostitute, uh, I mean LOBBYIST, would come forward and tell their #metoo story. The MS Capitol, legislature, and lobbyists are full of this type of behavior. Remember the lobbyist that was the long-time girlfriend to the high ranking married legislator? If you know the legislature, you’re thinking, be more specific, which one? My point exactly. Remember the other high ranking legislator that was driving drunk, but got off because of the “cough syrup” defense? Remember....I could go on for days. Our MS Legislature and all statewide elected officials need a big ole enema and flush. They are ALL disgusting.

All this shows the low class of people involved with the legislature....I am 75 and have watched this kind of unprofessional conduct go on for most of my live and before. It is the same in Washington except more money changes hands. I don't think anyone ever expects perfection but everyone needs to shoot for perfection. WOW, what a classy bunch of Bastards !!!!!!

LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS---THE LEGISLATORS ARE IN TOWN !!!!!

According to the C-L, his clients include the cities of Gulfport, Biloxi, Jackson and Madison, the Gulf Coast Business Council, Port of Gulfport, Silver Slipper casino, Pinnacle Entertainment and the Girl Scouts of Greater Mississippi.

Hopefully by the end of the week, that number will be greatly reduced. I certainly can't see the Girl Scouts and Queen Mary keeping such a "slime bag" as their lobbyist.

@8:50 If you have females in your life, ask how they've answered this question when they've been asked the same thing. Or how would YOU respond if requested to do the same on this lobbyist.I don't think you'd be as judgmentally cavalier if you truly understood that lots of women have had this type of treatment throughout of their lives but are expected to laugh it off in the name of being a polite lady. But I promise, we don't forget and it becomes part of the reel that plays in our heads when we see you later on. We don't forget....ever

The Mississippi legislature is such a joke. I've lived in Mississippi for over 30 years and every year those idiots don't accomplish a damn thing besides wasting tax payers dollars and passing some kind of legislation to legalize some form of discrimination, and come up with a way to repeal someone's rights, unless it's dealing with a lethal weapon.

If they focused on healthcare, infrastructure, education, and employment - people with reasonable levels of intelligence would actually respect them.

But that's why the want to keep the citizenry ignorant, so they can stay in power.

I’m pretty sure his days of lobbying for the Girl Scouts is now over

Speaking of dirt bags, I heard Claiborne(sp?) Fraser was released from prison recently. Truth?

Rest of story = "The page you requested is currently unavailable. Pages on this site are constantly being revised, updated, and occasionally removed."

Mr. Levanway, you are so full of shit, and your apology is a feeble, self-serving attempt to preserve your shrinking client list. And by the way, which efforts are you redoubling, what is your track record and what are your true values. You are a useless fucking windbag, and everything that is wrong with entitled influence peddling in our political system.

The link is down.

Goodnight is she a married woman? You can get your ass whipped going around talking to folks like that.

When J. Paul Getty fired someone (and he relished doing just that) he would say when they asked why....YOU ARE JUST TOO FUCKING STUPID TO WORK FOR ME! Exhibit A........2018 version........Scott Levanway.

Vultures (other Lobbyists) are already circling. Clients soon will be gone.

MS State Legislators are really hoping the #MeToo movement doesn't catch on. Everyone knows, except those who don't want to know, what goes on in Jackson with our "esteemed gentlemen" from who gives a ****

Business as usual! This mo fo, has done lost his freeking mind. Leave that Captain Morgan alone!! I'm sure he didn't really mean it, cause he can't that old thang up! Sincere ignorance and enthusiastic stupity!!!

I wonder how offended Mrs. Martin would be if she found out what was spent on the "reception" for her and the other legislatures. I wonder if she would get her panties in a wad if the taxpayers cut her perks and "goodies"?????

Not last in everything. According to a post just the other day, Mississippi is 43rd in college sorority whor -- um, pardon me -- sugar babies.

@ 12:48- Here's the correct spellings!

"Prison to Be Construction Family Affair

Thursday, May 1, 2014


The Fraziers, owners of C.E. Frazier Construction Co. Inc. and a variety of long-troubled spinoffs, are all going to jail.

H. Claiborne Frazier; his brother, Austin W. Frazier; and their father, Cresco Elmore (C.E.) Frazier Jr., all formerly of Jackson, MS, have all been sentenced to several years in federal prison and ordered to pay restitution for a scheme that defrauded lenders of millions of dollars over nearly a decade.

Can't find Claiborne at the federal BOP inmate locator website.

Daddy Frazier released July 2016 according to BOP inmate locator:

CRESCO ELMORE FRAZIER
Register Number: 16984-043
Age: 70
Race: White
Sex: Male
Released On: 07/18/2016

Austin Frazier released December 2016 according to BOP locator:

AUSTIN W FRAZIER
Register Number: 16983-043
Age: 43
Race: White
Sex: Male
Released On: 12/30/2016

Wow that was tough 18 months but I guess they learned their lesson. Another successfull rehabilitation (tongue in cheek)

Hey hey

It turns out H Claiborne Frazier might still be in custody at Pensacola Federal Prison Camp.

"H CLAIBORNE FRAZIER
Register Number: 16981-043
Age: 45
Race: White
Sex: Male
Located at: Pensacola FPC
Release Date: 11/16/2018"



Wiki says about FPC Pensacola:
In 2006, the Bureau of Prisons decided to cut costs by closing the Federal Prison Camp, Eglin, which was located at Auxiliary Field 6, Eglin Air Force Base, in Okaloosa County, Florida, and moving the inmates to FPC Pensacola.[2] In July 2009, Forbes magazine listed the prison as the number two "cushiest prison" in the United States.[3]

For some reason the federal inmate locator does not work with H Claiborne's name, but thanks to KF posting a document(http://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2017/04/claiborne-strikes-out-again.html) with his BOP Register number he is located.

He'd better take care to avoid injuring himself on the tennis courts or playing beach volley ball or golf.

Maybe CCA Don Clark/Lord Snow could be his celly IF anyone is brave enough to shed a little light on their dastardly misdeeds....rumblings of bribery,bid rigging,kickbacks,undue influence and organ harvesting have been rising to the surface of the swamp

I really thought this was a joke when I first read it. I cannot believe that a man or woman would be stupid.
