Jackson Jambalaya

It's ike watching British Parliament. I like it. Maybe more people would pay attention to public meetings if they were all like this.

This shows how potent Facebook can be....

And think about how Facebook was used and it’s impact during the last presidential election.

Social media is how people connect these days and it’s manipulation is having an impact.

Go to YouTube and search - "Village of Carpentersville President Bill Sarto" if you want to watch the funniest and craziest local supervisors and alderman meetings. Give it 2-3 videos and you will see what I mean. It really should have been made into a series for TV.

Kinda like a episode of SouthPark

Manipulation? I posted the entire unedited video yesterday. Nothing was edited in this clip either. Entire exchange is shown from start to finish and then some.

Can I buy tickets to the next meeting on Stub Hub? Unfortunately, this represents almost exactly what people around the USA think when they hear the word Mississippi.

@9:24 are the Ruskies colluding to influence politics in Pelahatchie? ROFLMAO

Facebook is a giant cheese maze for us humans. Everyone should delete their account ASAP.

From a clinical perspective, I couldn’t decide who needed the neuroleptic more, the crazy lady in the audience or the alderman. They both have clinical psychosis and paranoia.

Attn 10:52 Neuroleptic is a mighty big word!! Look up the definition before you misuse it again.

Can I get a "hell yeah" brother?

DON't go puttin words in my mouth!!!

DOIN THIS AND DOIN THAT

What did I see at the end? Was it white and black people talking together shaking hands? You'd think every white person in Pelahatchie was racist the way its been reported lately.

Who knew Pelahatchie could garner so much interest and opinion from folks living in NE Jxn and God's own Madison County.

I feel like Phil Hartman in his old SNL skit as Sinatra - "Can't understand a word...Sounds like pops and buzzes from here..."

Is it commonplace(or kosher) for an atty representing an elected official to publicly announce via Facebook that he is representing said client?

Does the chicken processing plant close for board meetings?

@12:23 There is not a chicken processing plant in Rankin County, that would be Scott County with the towns of Morton and Forrest. You may want to ask them.

Pelahatchie, Morton, Forest.
All the same, they're interchangeable.

Why is this group of clowns attempting to compete with the Jackson City Council. Are there grants at stake? Or maybe a sitcom?

good grief...it never ceases to amaze me just how "dumbed down" local "leaders" and their "contiuants" that show up at these meetings have become.

@4:36 NE Jackson, South Jackson, Bryam, Clinton, all interchangeable. Got it!

Will the land-mass between East-Brandon and West-Morton be the next Reunion? With all this positive press, I'm predicting an unprecedented preponderance of Pelahatchie pineapples.

Programs! Get your Programs here! Popcorn and Peanuts!

KF, Can you push the Auditor for the results of the misappropriation of the drug money? Hopefully he is auditing the entire PD to find where the money went. Mayor may wish she hadn't opened this can of worms.

@10:25, lets hope. Her mom was "allowed to resign" after being caught embezzling money from the PD. New mayor publically vowed revenge on the town for "firing" her mom. Something is amiss here.

Word on the street is the auditor hasn't found anything with substance and someone is "leaking" this to some media outlets to turn it into a race thing versus what it is. Lots more going on in sleepy Pelahatchie than what's being reported.

Poor Pelasnatchie. There’s so much wrong here.
1) By traveling the world, does she mean going to Brandon?
2) who cares what these clowns (town folk and elected folk) put on FacePlace? I mean, really-Who cares?
3) This is an example of small town without a lot to do. If you’re busy working, getting an education, etc., you won’t have time to worry about all this BS
4) That’s 15 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
5) Bless their hearts.

Watching this sickens me. I see in the video the mayor is asking for access, well I was in City hall the other day and the access she was speaking of then was that she wanted the staffs personal passwords to access their accounts. Where is that legal........and the saga continues

It’s all sad the mayor promised the community she would get back at the Board for her moms termination that was the platform she ran on. I applaud the Board for not exposing her mother for misappropriation. I wonder if the mayor will disclose that information to the media and the state auditors office or is that to close to home. What is awful is that the community is caught up in this trying to make this a black and white issue. It’s clear it’s a revenge plot.

What am I missing? It seems that the board voted unanimously on some things that were against the mayor's wishes. Don't I see a couple of African American gentlemen on the board? Are they racists against their own race? It seems like the mayor might need to come up w/ another card to play

Your observation is correct, there are some African Americans on the Board. Those Alderman and their families have really taken a hit from our community from not standing for the foolishness. The mayor hand her followers have facebooked and verbally dogged these people. It heart goes out to them. I wish this would cease. I don’t go to the meetings but I am in the community and this is all about revenge. I teach my children to do right. I haven’t had much to say about the matter because I don’t want to be shunned by the community because I live in the midst of it but enough is enough. I applaud Alderman Adams he has been on the Board for years and really is a very kind giving man. Everyone I know goes to him for help and he does it with a smile and you never hear a word about it. That’s whether you are in his ward or not. Looking at the video I understand his frustration because I see what’s going on in the community. The poor attorney for the mayor has been fed “help pie” God Bless

For the record, the Mayor did not "tip" me off about anything at any time. The asset forfeiture story is a legitimate one. I asked for copies of the expenditures. Games were played with the public records request but they were eventually provided. Either the city misspent the money or it didn't. A review of the records shows that money was spent on salaries, which probably violates the law.

Those of you in Pelahatchie taking potshots at this website are a bunch of crybabies. The coverage of the Board of Aldermen meeting Monday night was very fair. The entire video was posted as was the agenda and board packet, which is more transparency than I can say for Pelahatchie officials, past and present. What you are complaining about is the fact that someone actually showed up to watch what was going on in Pelahatchie.

All JJ did was show up, video tape the meeting and make everything available to you, the voters and general public, that was given to the Aldermen and Mayor. For doing that there is a gnashing of teeth that has not been seen in Jackson, Ridgeland, Canton, Clinton, or other cities around here.

There is one comment I didn't approve because it made several allegations. Some of them are probably true but almost impossible to verify without anyone willing to go on the record or actual documentation. You know, the whole verification thing.

However, JJ is going to be at the next meeting as well, and the next one, and the next one so get over it.

So is it fair to say that you welcome the comments bashing the town and Board but not the ones that help complete the picture I don’t see potshots and I don’t know where others are from that have posted but since you have been at the meeting s the Mayor has been super nice and conducted herself very professional. I don’t know if it is media coverage or not but fact her mom was terminated for some of the same reasons she is accusing the Board. Why not put that out there and ask for that board packet to put on your website. It appears you have taken sides without all the facts. Question.... what new official comes in office and the 1st day of their administration asks for an audit, actually prior to being elected. Maybe you should do a little background research yourself. I am African American for the record so.....I think this proves that this is not about race it is a get back situation. Another question, is The mayor willing to expose her mother and release that audit. It’s funny how none of this has ever been mentioned by you or the media. Did she disclose that info. I welcome you to come to the meetings because she is tolerable while media is present I always try to stand in the back because it is a fiasco. I too wish this would end

Emergency meeting in the morning

What?
