Judgement Day approaches for one-time Atlanta and Jackson power broker Mitzi Bickers. The Atlanta Constitution-Journal reported:
The federal investigation into corruption at Atlanta City Hall under the administration of former Mayor Kasim Reed continues despite disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak said Tuesday.
Now that grand juries have resumed their work, Pak said, “there are activities that are planned in the upcoming months.”...
The probe has been ongoing at least since 2015, or more than two years before Pak was appointed as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. Seven people so far have pleaded guilty to charges, Pak said. Two others have been indicted thus far, including a former executive at an engineering firm that performed work on airport and watershed contracts....
The biggest case by far, however, is now scheduled to go to trial in September when Pak’s office will attempt to prove that a mastermind behind some of the bribery schemes was Mitzi Bickers, a former city official and political operative who played a key role in Reed’s election.
The complex case against Bickers, a minister and well-connected political operative who worked at City Hall from 2010 to 2013, spans a dozen charges and involves allegations of pay-to-play contracting in Atlanta and Jackson, Miss...
The CEOs, Elvin R. “E.R.” Mitchell Jr. and Charles P. Richards Jr., have already pleaded guilty to conspiring to pay $2 million bribes to Bickers, who allegedly helped the contractors win some $17 million in snow removal and sidewalk contracts. The men have agreed to testify against Bickers, who has pleaded not guilty.... Rest of article.

You people don't understand that this is how prosperity ministry works. These blessings are annointed by a higher power. People who don't receive God's blessings suffer jealousy and contempt. What you are witnessing is persecution by a worldly authority. In the end, the power of the blood of Jesus will prevail. Not only will his children be set free but he will multiply the loaves and fishes of his servant shepherds.
Trash-
Jackson politics don't play. The real playa's know where the money is. We got schemed by the same con men as Atlanta. That's big time.
"prosperity ministry" is just another name for "materialism." I suspect it would be easier for these people to be shoved through the eye of a needle . . .

Cool indulgences, preacher.
a contract for ''snow removal'' in atlanta?
that one dont pass the smell test.
a conspiracy so big they need a flow chart to explain it?
mitizi should have stayed in jackson.
but everybody knows its better to be a white collar criminal in hot-lanta, rather than this third world backwater called jackson.
Seems like they do shit in a timely manner over yonder. What's wrong with our system and the inability to at least seem to be trying?
So who's responsible for Neel-Schaffer and their ridiculous design of the Capitol Street two-way boondoggle? And the Farish Street scam? And the Convention Center? And...?
Jackson has been infected by "stupid" for decades and, as a result, quite a few folks enriched themselves in the process. And now the goose that laid all the golden eggs is pretty much barren.
