I love Margie WArren

If everyone behind the mics is media, it sounds like they are over the mayor’s antics as well. How embarrassing for the mayor!!!

Tell em’ Margie! It’s time you stand up and let the truth out. She’s outta control and needs to called out.

How many comments must we leave, to convince you that WE DO NOT GIVE A FUCK about Pelahatchie? Is this whole thing a long-running, tired joke? Seriously, the place can rot away for all we care, “ we” being those who had never heard of the dern hole before you, Kingfish, somehow got interested in it. Enough, already.

Some of us care because real people are involved.

But, if you don’t care about the people, use it as a study of ignorance. Study how people who comment on the stories, especially on the news’ FB pages, comment even though they do not understand what has transpired. (You’ll find a definite race pattern.) The continual restatement of ignorance is enlightening. Look at how people can be manipulated to believe anything their “friend” says. Or, how much God is thrown around to defend prideful actions. It’s a true testament to the lack of education that much of our country deals with constantly. It reinforces my belief, daily, that every voter should be required to pass a civics course and an economics course. (The number of people comparing the operation of the federal government to the operation of Pelahatchie is scary... and they are boastful about it!)

Whats the matter Pliny....situation hitting to close to home in Jackson????

Your statement voices everyone's feelings out of the District 2 congressional voting area the summation of Jackson/Hinds county brilliantly run Dim-O-Krat utopia.

I wish her supporters would quit referring to her as a CPA. She’s not listed with CPA board... and, neither is her husband. An accounting degree is NOT the same as a CPA. I’m assuming they must employ a CPA or their accounting business customers are aware they are not CPAs. What company or individual hires an accounting firm that’s not CPA backed? They might as well use TurboTax or H&R!

88k for a city clerk? that’s “keep your mouth shut money”...

My understanding is when the Mayor's mother left employment with the city, the Board increased Massey's pay to cover her doing double duty. Also, does that $88K include benefits?

I like stopping by the Ward's on Pelahatchie when I am in that area. I wish they were more common in the metro. I've lived in Jackson all my life and didn't know Mississippi had a home grown fast food resturant all over the state but just not in the metro.

Ward's is better than McDonald's.

@KF, that would be facts and questions that those that jump to conclusions care nothing about.

@3:52... so you immediately assume that without regard for length of employment, job duties performed, or need of person’s experience and expertise? I’m betting you’re one of those stating the state auditor is still investigating. Or, one who believes embezzlement was involved “cause the board was stuffing their pockets.” Or, believes that RHB is a victim.

4:14,
Crawbilly's in Pelahatchie has a great burger, too!

In spite of all the controversy, Pelahatchie is a nice little town. The people of Pelahatchie have donated to help pay the city workers that are caught in the middle of this debacle. A couple of businesses have fed the city workers to show their appreciation to them. For all the cries of racism, I see people of both races supporting & trying to help each other. But, of course that isn't everyone & the bad gets much more press.

X2 for Wards.
Haven't been to one in years but they used to have a Chili Burger that was deeeeelightful. Hope the Mayor hasn't messed that up!

I suggest the Mayor take a real deep breath! Something just ain’t right!
Mayor, it’s too easy to bring people together than to tear them apart. We need an intervention! I’m sure there is someone out there who will be willing to work with you and the aldermen to bring closure to this nonsense.
It is obvious you are a headstrong woman, however that’s not a prerequisite to bringing people together. Where are the leaders in the community? The Mayor and the Alderman need your help!!! Or are they blind or just don’t give a rats ass and want the city to sink further in the abiss.

The only questions remaining are these: How long will Kingfish's hard-on for Pelahatchie last? Will Simon Cowell give him a thumbs up for beating the shit out of this dead horse? Will Sam Hall nominate Kingfish for a Pulitzer? Will the rest stop six miles east of Brandon be named for Kingfish? Will there be a muscadine stomp at the RR track in honor of The Fish? Is Chokwe paying Kingfish to ease up on Jacktown and focus on the mayor of Pelamohatchey?

Stay tooned...

I personally am thankful Kingfish is reporting what’s goin on. There’s a lot to be learned in situations such as these. One is that everyone really needs to understand how different levels of the government works. Another is that our votes do count and we need to look more at someone’s qualifications and vote on a person not a party. And also, I know race has been brought up so many times in all this. But if you step back and look at the whole picture- there are many whites and people of color who have formed a united front to save this little beloved town. And that is the Mississippi I want to see. I don’t like seeing division. Because it’s not about how much melanin we were born with. It’s the fact that we all bleed red and we’re all people.

I do wish the mayor would do what’s right and resign. She’s knows she’s tearing this town apart. It’s time to face facts and step down. Sometimes it takes more courage to walk away than it does to stay. This isn’t her calling. That much is clear.

The mayor posted again this morning an email from October 2017 that she’s using as proof of the “law” that she is not needed to sign checks. The email states she can refuse signature if she thinks funds are insufficient or misappropriated. Has ANYONE asked her exactly HOW payroll is misappropriated given that the funds have been available the ENTIRE TIME?? It’s time to start pushing her on this since it appears to be her (only) defense.

The mayor is a friggin' train wreck.

Is Pee'hatchy still gonna have the muscadine stomp'n festival ?

It was so fun to watch the local news girls get barefooted and walk on Mississippi "grapes ".

No better entertainment on Highway 80 . . . this side of Morton.

For those of you tired of reading about this subject, piss off. It’s easy to scroll right past it. If you wanna get KF to change direction, I suggest you change your financial support level. People bitching over a free blog site. For God’s sake, get a life.

Interestingly enough, the mayor didn't veto the action taken by the board Friday night to reinstate Chief Daughtry because she can't.

An attorney general opinion from 2001 states in part, that "a mayor does not have the authority to veto a vote by a board of aldermen to reinstate a police chief whom the mayor has suspended" because it is not an affirmative action subject to veto.

CJ, maybe you can run down her true residency.

Now THAT is a story.
