Truly and Gilkey are next according to sources.

Truly and Gilkey are no doubt mixed up in this. Wouldn’t be surprised if Gilkey’s boss, Supervisor Paul Griffin goes down also. The sad part is that once these folks are shown the door, another group just as bad will come in to replace them.

Gilkey is about to get arrested.

Is there no one honest in Canton? CMU, City and county officials. Apparently the CMU people aren't going to jail so why should this bunch.

I'd never heard much from Canton until Rudy Warnock got involved. I guess it's true what they say about spiked hair and bedazzled jeans...

Kenny Wayne got paid!

I don't live in Jackson area. I did see on Jackson news a dude being interviewed named Truly who claimed to be the mayor of Canton. What interested me was he rarely looked at the interviewer but more at his lap as he spoke. Limited eye contact. Next his concern seemed to be more for those indicted not the fact this is serious lawbreaking if proven. You would or I would at least think, if in his position, he would want to insure voters/taxpayers that this type of corruption should not be tolerated and be prosecuted to the fullest. His body language and words led me to believe this is business as usual and no big deal. I have to ask who is this guy Truly and is he as crooked as he comes across being??

Vickie 'The Wig' McNeil and Courtney Rainey will be singing like a canaries. They wont go down with out taking everyone with them unless someone has some deep pockets to pay them to be quiet. That's where Ready Eddie and Babbs come in ! !

Surely there will be some Board of Supervisor members, (past and present) involved in this circus.

2:09 - Truly is the Mayor of Canton. And he is the Mayor due to these and plenty more similar illegal election activities in the last election as well as eight years earlier when he was elected the first time.

The amazing thing, of course, is Mayor (Dr.) Truly is the Mayor of the City even though he doesn't live there. I realize that in Canton, and Madison County, they don't really put too much emphasis on this little part of the law - for example, check both Ed and Babs Blackmon's actual living quarters in North Jackson while representing Canton in the legislature. So as long as the bosses don't have to live in the city, why should the serfs?

Truly is the mayor and yes hes a crook, a certifiable idiot and racist.

At least one vote was bought with some beer. Darn, with 5-10 cases I could get elected to any office in that one-horse town.

Future Mayor of Canton said...

That's it! I am running for mayor of Canton. How many cases of 40s do I need to buy to be a shoo-in?

"Gilkey’s boss, Supervisor Paul Griffin....."

I don't know who Gilkey is. I know Griffin is a County Supervisor. How is he Gilkey's 'boss'?

And....I know Griffin's district is predominantly AA. I also know his daughter was elected judge of some sort. Hmmmm. And his daughter in law is on a fast track to being HR Director for the county. And he pretty much dictates who runs and is elected for any and every position in that part of the county. And he's all wrapped-up and hugged-up with the vast and powerful Luckett Klan, several of whom serve at his will and pleasure on various boards and commisions. I better stop now before my fingers catch on fire.

Future Mayor of Canton said...

@6:59 PM, so to become mayor I need to genuflect while greasing some palms in the high court of Griffin? What other contributions are required to be successful? How many flat screens need to fall off a truck? S-Class Mercedes?

Purple Silk Suit said...

Since the day Sydney Runnels left town thirty years ago, these offices have been nothing but a rotating circus of clowns occupying the big, black leather chairs. Canton runs parallel with Jackson and many other hick towns. It's the 'We In Charge Now' mentality. A scramble to cheat and get elected and swindle, steal and pilfer. "It's Our Turn" and we got the vault combination now.

Stuff the ballot box, get elected, buy some cufflinks, be in charge, hire your buds and relatives, appoint your friends and homeys, steal enough to get a new ride and take your turn. Then give it up to somebody else down the street and take another turn later on.

Cynical Sam said...

Canton - doing their part to keep Mississippi at the top of the corrupt states list - one indictment at a time.

Anonymous said...

@6:59. Eric Gilkey is a Canton alderman. Griffin uses his political pull to get Gilkey in positions where he needs eyes, ears, and influence. Griffin has controlled him for years.

Anonymous said...

Are there any branches on the Canton family tree?

Anonymous said...

Lemmee connect these unarranged dots: Gilkey, Canton alderman, is Griffin's boy and keeps him updated on the interworkings at Canton City Hall. Griffin's son's wife is Griffin's eyes and ears in County HR. She is soon to be HR director and has access to a wealth of personnel information including payroll plus she hires who he tells her to hire. Griffin's daughter is a jurdge and can string up who he tells her to. Griffin's boy, Dwight Luckett, is his appointee to Madison County Economic Development Agency (with millions in the vault) and he helps Griffin run that agency. Two thirds of the black preachers in Madison County are beholden to Griffin and will show up at Board Meetings to say whatever he tells them to, especially if it relates to claims of racism. Griffin pretty much controls who winds up on city and county boards as well as Canton Municipal Utilities. Griffin's appointee to Planning and Zoning is yet another black preacher.

One thing missing is how Griffin gets along with Barbara and Ed and how that relationship works for the betterment of all.

Paul Griffin is a good man and has NO connection to Eric Gilkey. Y’all don’t know what you are talking about.

Anonymous said...

What are the odds that 3:01 has been named elsewhere in this thread?

Paul Griffin is the same man who, two years ago, trotted out seven blacks in a Board meeting to claim white racism in a discussion about County parks. One famous comment (by Luckett) - "I'm not ready to say this is racism, but it sure looks like it to me."

Griffin (the 'good man') is always quick to play the race card. He's of the generation that used to find that helpful in getting his way.

Griffin is also the 'good man' who will do NOTHING to clean up the roadsides and follow ordinances in his district. The same 'good man' who thinks the votes of people who don't look like him don't matter.

Clean up Canton said...

@3:01 PM is a shill, or is Paul Griffin. Hi Paul, feeling the pressure from the Grand Jury yet? The second round of indictments is just around the bend, just in time for Christmas.

Keep some bail money handy, and your lawyer on speed dial.

Anonymous said...

8:49 - Do you, in your wildest imagination, believe a Madison County empaneled grand jury would bring an indictment against Paul Griffin? Since Rudy has left town, Blackmon lives in Jackson, Banks has been deposed and Truly is already on the cusp of indictment, Griffin is the untouchable kingpin in the county. Ain't no juror that brave.

Heads are Rolling said...

@3:38 PM - Standby. Round two of the indictments is around the bend and you will be shocked.

Anonymous said...

Hell, even if Paul G. does gown down in this someone else just like him will get elected in his place.....his kid Martina probably. She can go from working 4.5 days a month as a justice court judge to working 2 days a month as a county supervisor.

Nothing happens to Canton MS movie stars...Dr. Truly brags about still getting residual checks from his starring role in the 1996 movie "A Time to Kill"....check out IMDB...Internet Movie Data Base...below is the starring role he played...he said a lot of people still ask for his autograph.

N.A.A.C.P. Man #1 (as Dr. William Truly Jr.)

I Can See Clearly Now.. said...

Locking Griffin up and electing his daughter would be like locking up Noriega and electing his wife and him running Panama from a jell cell.

The only thing worse than Griffin's daughter as supervisor would be electing Luckett. Family is family is family.

Redrawing district lines is the only salvation for the county of Madison.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah, redraw district lines again. Just what needs to happen. Last time they were redrawn was to keep whats his name Redd out of office and to keep Banks in which worked for one term. THEN, Banks got ousted and Bishop got elected because they didnt keep enough democrats in Banks district. In the next election Banks or one of his kids will land in Bishops seat on the BOS.

Now, Paul Griffin is in for as long as he wants to be. Whether he goes down in this voter fraud thing or just gives it up on his own and retires. You can bet your ass who ever he gets behind will be elected in his seat on BOS.

The fix is in - suspended and indicted city employees can return to work.

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.
