Gosh, what is the staffing budget for the Governor's office? Sounds unlimited.
Everybody has to be a chief these days.

lolwut
It’s good to be King
How much does a chief make in state government?
Other than changing the flag has he done anything? Year and a half into his administration and not much to talk about.
Tater went to Millsaps, y'all keep forgetting that….
Get ready for the Tater and Dobbs show coming around September. They are already setting up for another SHUTDOWN over the "variant" Delta Covid !! Wake the heck up people !!
11:12, you are either a troll or an imbecile. Maybe both. The Governor and his advisors handled the wuhan shit well. To ignore that success is just f*cking silly.
Salaries for state / city employees. https://www.openthebooks.com/mississippi/
Who is going to be running DFA while Liz is gone?
Go Dennis go!
Tater needs to up his game.
This press release is woefully lacking in mangament buzzwords and titles.
Also no mention of servant leadership or 'preventing socializm'?
3.5/10!

—————————————
Those daily press conferences were masterful. Truly nobody could have done those.
11:12, Tate was against changing the flag. The only reason he signed the bill was due to Gunn and Hoseman having lined up plenty of votes to override a veto.
Tate has been in some form of government job for 20 plus years….PERS is a mess still….state is 50th in every metric including vaccinations.
Under his watch he made 7,000,000 in his bank account and MS are no better off….in fact most are much worse off.
Terrible track record
Opinions vary. The main reason I will not vote for Reeves again is his handling of the covid scam.
Gunn going whip his tail!!!!
Why the dude from NY? Don’t tell me our little feckless empty suit has higher office aspirations!!
These are good people.
" The only reason he signed the bill was due to Gunn and Hoseman having lined up plenty of votes to override a veto" .
Nah, that's not what was going on.
I don't think you understand the dynamics of Mississippi politics.
Gunn and Hoseman are not the best of friends.
More over, both have never liked Tate.
And Tate doesn't like them either.
However, at least Tate and Dilbert can work some things out.
Grab a snack,a cold drink ... and wait for the fireworks that will erupt over Gunn's idea for elimination of the State Income Tax next session.
"Gunn going whip his tail!!!!"
Well 3:08, not sure if "Gunn going whip his tail" is
an accurate assessment.
Mr. Gunn needs to get over his self importance.
Seems this fellow gets bitch slapped by Tate every few weeks.
To get Mississippi from #50 to #49 is a hard pull.
To get ahead of Arkansas? Wooo pig!
Bless their hearts for tryin so hard and I do think tater and his frens have it in 'em!
Seems Donna & Todd may have unleashed their unpaid interns to troll
Jackson Jambalaya again.
What? Wait! No mention of another thirteen dollar an hour girl from SuperTalk moving upward and onward?
Is Gunn gonna set up his campaign office in Oxford?
From Pennsylvania Ave to State St Americans seem intent on encouraging and supporting the establishment of fiefdoms which for the most part rule US at the direction of corporate lobbyists.
"Gunn is going to whup his tail"
Oh I hope not and you should too...Im not a big fan of the DicTATER but Herr Gunn is worse. more arrogant more sneaky more of a bully --oh and Smarter than anybody Dont believe me just ask him !!!!! Gunn's out for Gunn- he's butt hurt cuz he hasn't gotten several Jobs that HE thought he was entitled too---check out his campaign donations
None of you Reeves stalkers are in Fat Melvin's league of stalkers, except, of course, those anti-Reeves comments Chokwe Antar Lumumba's employee Melvin C. Robinson deposits himself anonymously here at JJ.
@10:03
Robinson has been begging for a visit from the Governor's security team for some time.
Considering his immediate proximity to and frequent interactions with Mayor Lumumba I'm surprised that no one in the Mayor's inner circle hasn't told him to knock if off.
8:50am: I see the Governor’s new Yankee communications director is already hot on the job defending his empty suit boss.
With each Super-Talk visit, Gunn gets more arrogant - If you can imagine that! Even if nobody else does, he seems to really believe in himself.
" With each Super-Talk visit, Gunn gets more arrogant ".
Thankfully someone else has noticed that as well.
Gunn reminds me of that kid (in what used to be called "Junior High") that tried to embarrass the Senior football
player after Senior football star knocked his teeth out five minutes before the "homecoming" parade.
However, it looks to be a very interesting situation within the Republican primary.
Dilbert is not a fan of Gunn or Tate ... but he has an army.
Houseman's old age will be a factor in the Republican civil war . . . but it will be interesting.
And for the record, as goofy as he is with the forty gallon cowboy hat, I'm really starting to like
Agricultural Commissioner Andy Gipson .
