What an utter EMBARRASSMENT for the Town of Pelahatchie! When will it end?

When Beecham is gone.

Bad wig.

I couldn't understand most of this because of the horrible audio. Who the heck is gwizardc2? Seems to be a close confidant of the sorry ass mayor.

7:03, with next year’s election. Gotta think folks who voted for her last time wont do so next time. Hope the town offers a decent candidate for the citizens to support.

KF is pulling our leg. This is that new reality show: The Real Lives of Pelahatchie.

Did anyone understand 90% of that mess?

I heard the police chief resigned to become the police chief in Natchez, & that Pelahatchie's mayor learned about it through the news media.

7:03 next election. She will be a one and done.

Im glad someone told her to SHUT UP!!!. She loves to hear her ignorance spew out of her own mouth. The subtitles in these recordings are rich. In an age where we constantly talk about racism and equality, we have to preface these videos with "to the first African American Female Mayor of Pelahatchie/Rankin County". Who cares. An idiot is an idiot no matter their race and constantly playing the race card to make up for incompetence is getting old. It was an African American police officer that yelled and cursed at her. Even the African American board of Aldermen don't like her. The only people who keep parading her are the shit stirrers and race baiters. every other person who lives in harmony and don't care about color cant stand her and her posse. She and her crew are ruining a nice quaint town in the name of making everything about race.

Mediocrity at its finest. She interrupts the officer repeatedly then blathers on about respect? I think she suspends the guy but not sure because of the audio and the lack of public speaking ability. She also may be guilty of assault or worse - she keeps stating that she “axed him” - brutal

Sad on both parties. No way to conduct business. I’ll just avoid Pelahatchie! Both need to find another occupation!

@7:47 That would be her husband.

Washington D.C. in the very near future.

The town needs to change its election law to require that the winning candidate must have 50%+1 to win. While the last election was a non-partisan election, the mayor was one of three candidates and received the most votes while being well under 50%. If a runoff had occurred, she would have probably lost.

BTW, according to our SOS website, the mayor only got 37% (167 votes) to second place candidate 35% (155 votes) and third place candidate 27% (120). this all means that 62% did not vote for her....need runoffs going forward to correct.

Convince me that run off elections result in improvement in election results. If you can't come in first against a larger slate of candidates, what makes you think you will come in first against one opponent?

And there are better, more efficient, election options than run offs, which are expensive and rarely have good turnout. Rank ordering, for one.

Thanks 9:19. That explains the stupid comments on each of the videos that defend this excuse for a public official.

I know I'm of the minority viewpoint here on this matter, but I think the board is much more to blame for this mess than is the mayor. The mayor is trying to carry out her job, and whether you agree or disagree with some of her decisions, she was elected by the people to do that job. Te board, on the other hand, has fought tooth and nail to keep her from doing damn near anything and has often unquestionably exceeded its authority.

I am neither black nor a Democrat. Nor do I necessarily think the mayor has formulated the best policies. But I do acknowledge that she has the authority on most of the disputed actions, whereas the board legally does not.

10:23 Did you REALLY just post that?

If she doesn't win reelection, there's massive voter fraud. If the election is fair, she will win in a landslide.

It is HER fault that the temperament is what it is. SHE set this tone. SHE constantly oversteps and wants to rule with a pressing thumb. The Town was already flat-ass broke when she became mayor. Remember what she allowed to become an “embezzlement “ story when it was actually misuse of special police seizure funds to keep the Town afloat? Not once did she state (you know, given her advanced accounting skills) that this was done to save the BROKE Town AND under the advise that it was legitimate practice. Anyone with half a brain realized back then that this Town was in trouble. Yet, she continued for the better part of 3 YEARS to bitch and moan about her pay, back pay (still has upcoming lawsuit), spending money on festivals and decorations, and hiring MULTIPLE people to work in the clerk’s office. Someone must have FINALLY broke it down for her because she only recently started buckling down on the budget. This should have been her mission from day 1, but she wasted 3 years having a pissing contests.

She’s wasted years running to social media to be the “victim” when in reality she’s been proven to be a shit-stirrer. I’ve watched every single board meeting... mostly for entertainment. While I believe this board doesn’t fully understand the scope of their jobs, especially the financial responsibility, she’s no better. And that clerk, Barbara... she’s got balls of steel! There’s NO job worth what the mayor puts this woman through. It appears the mayor spends A LOT of her time trying to pin stuff on Barbara or get proof of “gotcha” mistakes. (The mayor has stated publicly NUMEROUS times that she doesn’t want this woman in this position.) The mayor has publicly ridiculed Barbara in so many meetings and suspended her more than once, yet when Barbara fires back in this meeting with legitimate issues the mayor calls her insubordinate... it’s insane!! And people, for the love of all things holy, get separate passwords with effing permissions and a network!! If this software provider doesn’t support these functions, the mayor failed yet again because SHE forced this software down the Town’s throat.

And folks, the cop didn’t just blow up at the mayor in this meeting. This mayor has been poking the hornet’s nest with the PD for months (well, years actually, and don’t forget her family screamed racism and bullying when her hubs got pulled over for DUI.) They are fed up with the politics. Why do you think the Chief left yesterday??

When your Town leaders do not want to communicate with you, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! She has created the environment of non-trust. Even the new attorney was low key fed up with the Mayor. The Mayor is WRONG on the volunteer fire funds. The mayor wouldn’t share the first response from the State Auditor (because we know it wasn’t the response she wanted), so she’s holding that info HOSTAGE until she gets a second response. Regarding the letter from the County... the mayor openly stated in at least two previous meetings that the Town had received special funds, but had spent them to pay bills/survive, and wouldn’t have the money to repay and transfer to the proper account until they got the needed beginning of fiscal year loan. Yet, in her world, the supervisors are circumventing her because she’s black... (insert head smack!) She claims to want to lead this Town but she does WAY more damage than good.

The mayor functions off conjecture and emotions. She’s always defensive and wants everyone to bow to her position. Damn woman... it’s Pelahatchie... you’re not a big deal. Hell, you didn’t even LIVE in Pelahatchie when you were elected. The silver lining is that this woman’s case against the BROKE Town for her “backpay” of over $50k comes up in May... just in time for the election. I’m praying she has ZERO intentions of running again... but if she does, I pray her opponent(s) have the intelligence to communicate her true record and past actions.

I hope this meeting was humbling for the mayor. Her shrieks over EVERYBODY else were uncalled for, and unnecessarily escalated most of the arguing. SHE DID THAT!

So, the mayor doesn’t get along with:
- the board of aldermen (neither black nor white members)
- the police chief (black man)
- staff police (black man)
- city clerks (white)
- fire chief (black man)
(those are just the ones that I know of)

There have been numerous city clerks and deputy clerks, numerous police chiefs. All since the mayor took over. Hmmm...what could possibly be the problem? It’s not racial because both races seem to have issues with the mayor.

God, I hope no one tells her that Doc Truly isn't gonna run again over here in Canton. She'll beat a bee line to get her paperwork in over here and based on past races in the area she won't need to move here. Bad enough we will have old Mayor Fred Esco and Diamond Jim Kenny Wayne to pick from.

@12:58 p- The clerk is a black woman. The volunteer fire chief is a white man, and he’s also the Town’s zoning/code official. The only other white’s in higher positions are the head of maintenance and 2 board members. Literally everyone else is black... and they STILL dislike her antics.

Pitt Panther - Someone ALWAYS 'comes in first' (the exception being the virtually impossible result of an exact tie). But, election laws require runoffs in certain cases. Thanks for continually proving your ignorance on an almost daily basis.

Perhaps THE MAYOR will hire Zundria Crawford as a member of her executive "team".

Crawford seems like a "good fit" for providing advice on legal stuff.
Non binding advice of course.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me
Sock it to me, sock it to me)

@1:30
Sorry, I got some of the racial make up of the town’s positions wrong. But, we agree on the point, it’s not racial bias.

Move the zoo to Petahachie!

Do wigs generate heat … or friction?
Could be a contributing factor.

What happened to her old personal atty Bellinder who peacocked around for the first few months. He’s been mighty mum lately. Wonder if he got tired or her shit too? She’s a bothering idiot, nothing more, nothing less. She’ll be a non issue after next election. The black people in Pelahatchie can’t stand her. She’s playing y’all like fools thinking she has good intentions while getting her “pay back” from her mother being let go.

It’s my considered opinion that the mayor of Pelahatchie is batshit.

Where is the mayor’s attorney? Inquiring minds want to know.

The mayor is proving herself tackier by the day. The board suspended the cop for 3 days without pay and requested both the officer and mayor apologize to each other. She just FB live-streamed his apology. (You KNOW she brought up putting it in social media when the guy came in to apologize. She has no tact or class. A simple statement that the parties had apologized to each other would have been sufficient. She’s so messy with FB.)

Who wants to bet, if she even apologizes publicly, that hers will be victim riddled? WHAT A JOKE!!

Much ado about nothing.
