Hinds County Supervisor David L. Archie blasted Supervisor Credell Calhoun for hiring an interim county administrator..... right after Mr. Archie voted for the new county administrator. Yes, you read that sentence correctly.
The Hinds County Board of Supervisors fired Interim County Administrator Scherie Prince and voted unanimously to hire former State Senator Kenny Wayne Jones of CMU fame at the March 1 Board meeting. There was no discussion and the vote took less than a minute.
However, this being the present edition of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors, quick does not mean peaceful. Mr. Archie raised unholy hell about the vote after the vote. He told Mr. Calhoun he didn't appreciate the Board President from bringing up the new hire for a vote without discussion. The word "disrespect" was used more than once.
Of course, Mr. Archie must have forgotten he did not demand a discussion. Mr. Calhoun would have been within his rights to gavel Mr. Archie down and move on to the next item on the agenda (as Robert Graham used to do to Credell's wife.) but he allowed the District 2 Supervisor to go on his rhetorical rampage.
Just watch the video below. You simply can not make this up.
Kingfish note: Here is some advice for Mr. Archie. If you are really that aggrieved, then raise hell before the vote and actually vote against the motion.

Like wicker touting 29 billion to restaurants in Biden’s Rescue America Bill.
Wicker voted against it....
You are right....dipshit move
Well, most politicians are dipshits, so what else did you expect?
No discussion and the vote took less than a minute. For the most important appointed position in the county. And with no non-public meetings taking place between supervisors prior to then? Ok, somebody needs to send an open records request for emails and texts.
it's a sad state of affairs in Hinds County when Graham the Legend is the smartest person in the room. God help us all.
We haven't had an update from pelahatchie for awhile. What's going on there.
I love how the CC kept calling him Kennywing.
Hinds Co/Jackson are doomed.
Fascinating how adding that 1.78 billion to Wicker’s restaurant bill, 90% of which isn’t covid relief, might give him pause on voting in the affirmative
These are the leaders that the people of Jackson elected. They are of them.
Sooo, what do you really expect?
David L Archie is as corrupt and fake as anybody can be. His son is just as bad or worse.
This should just about round-out the court-house gang. Archie, Graham, Kennywing...who am I leaving out?
For those of you who can't figure it out...At the polling place, a county gets what it deserves.
So sad we just can’t be civil! This is not the way adults act, we have to do better! Is this the example were are sending to our future leaders?
We are in the shit hole drain, waiting for the rats to eat us, if we don’t self destruct first! ( I don’t know where that came from, just me rambling)
The way we communicate with each other is just embarrassing!!!
Mr Archie, you stated you didn’t like the way he manhandled you! Dang it’s alleged you manhandled your wife! Mr Archie, you need help, bless your heart!!!
David Archie comes across as the Black Mamba of Hinds County/Jackson politics. Wants to be feared as his bite is called the "kiss of death".
Is this the example were are sending to our future leaders?
Hinds' future leaders are out spinning donuts in the middle of the interstate, twerking on top of cars and otherwise shooting the place up. Pretty sure they aren't paying attention nor give a damn.
In case you missed it, David Archie is "vice president of this board".
this is what we got because of a primary challenge to tate reeves.
darrell mcquirter is running for alderman in clinton--i dont think hes getting back into hinds county politics.
lets hope a responsible democrat (like mcquirter) can rise up against archie.

Yes, but with Jackson and Hinds already lost causes the incremental post-primary downside was projected by Waller (and his backer Hosemann) to be minimal. When voters have already dug a big deep Democratic dysfunction hole another few inches or feet in depth means little to the view looking up.
Archie knows that his "game" is always to play the persecuted victim even when he is not. That's the profile of the modern black democrat and it does not matter if it looks stupid or not. Play the game.
Clinton voters were clueless when they lined up to vote for Waller or Reeves. Neither gives a shit about Clinton because that’s Gunn’s town. And they cost Hinds County the best supervisor they’ve had in a while.

Being civil in Mississippi? Ha!!!!!!!!
Calhoun is playing a game on Verne & McGowan, he is making them belive he is there friend, while Archie and Calhoun but argue and still votes together. Bobcat and Verne will lose big in the end. Bobcat made 2nd for Kenny Wayne Jones. Just watch the show in Hinds County.
