Kenny Wayne Jones apparently thinks he is the Grand Potentate of Hinds County. A public meeting of the Election Commission was held in the Chancery Court building but the County Administrator closed it to the public. W LVT reported:
At a closed meeting called on Monday, the Hinds County Election Commission was told that a contractor brought on to deliver voting equipment for the November 2 special election might not be paid.
The meeting was held at 9 a.m. in the county administrator’s conference room. A notice for the meeting was posted outside Election Commission headquarters. However, deputies with the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office refused to allow media inside.
Media was also forced to stay outside the chancery court building for the duration of the meeting and was not allowed to stay in the lobby....
Four commissioners attended the meeting: Toni Johnson, Yvonne Horton, Shirley Varnado, and Chair Jermal Clark... Rest of article.
It appears the Grand Potentate is about to get a lesson in the Open Meetings Act. The Act states:
(1) Any public body may enter into executive session for the transaction of public business; however, all meetings of any public body shall commence as an open meeting, and an affirmative vote of three-fifths (3/5) of all members present shall be required to declare an executive session.
(2) The procedure to be followed by any public body in declaring an executive session shall be as follows: Any member shall have the right to request by motion a closed determination upon the issue of whether or not to declare an executive session. The motion, by majority vote, shall require the meeting to be closed for a preliminary determination of the necessity for executive session. No other business shall be transacted until the discussion of the nature of the matter requiring executive session has been completed and a vote, as required in subsection (1) hereof, has been taken on the issue.
(3) An executive session shall be limited to matters allowed to be exempted from open meetings by subsection (4) of this section. The reason for holding an executive session shall be stated in an open meeting, and the reason so stated shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require that any meeting be closed to the public, nor shall any executive session be used to circumvent or to defeat the purposes of this chapter.
(4) A public body may hold an executive session pursuant to this section for one or more of the following reasons... Open Meetings Act
Someone needs to remind this clown he is merely an employee. It is doubtful we have heard the last of this matter.

Other than a strongly worded letter what are the consequences?
No consequences for Kenny. But the commissioners know better. In fact, ethics complaints have been filed against this crew for having off the record meetings over the years. I expect fines. But Kenny is not an elected official. He should have just said it wasn’t his meeting.
1:24 and he knows that. But really, is this zoot suit wearing clown the best Hinds Co can offer?
Shad gonna eat him up like a rabid dog, Kingfish gonna get ahold his britches leg and Lynn gonna sue. Meanwhile, he be laughin' knowin ain't shit gone happen.
Did anybody think to axe the gendarmes: By what authority are you barring me from entering?
The Hinds County Election Commission is Incompetent. Lying, Stealing, Fighting and breaking laws. Unable to hold a uncompromised election they should all be recalled! Idiots being Idiots!
Kenny Wayne doesn't have very far to travel in order to get there.
The County Administrator does not have the authority to order a closed meeting of any public body. Nor does he have the authority to call a meeting, schedule or reschedule one of any publicly elected or appointed body. Not to mention the fact that protocol was shat-upon.
On October 10.2018, a formal demand was issued in the amount of $78,612.81 by the Auditor. No payment has been paid. This was when Kenny Wayne General Manager of Canton Utilities. This case has been transmitted to AG Lynn Fitch's office. She need to stop decorating her office and go after him. She can take his salary for one thing and prosecute him for misappropriation of funds.
I see that Canton Municipal Utilities {CMU} has again surfaced again on this web site!!!
So one Supervisor (who is elected) was there along with Big Kenny . RG was in and out ? I figure since Big Kenny called the meeting and these folks are all crooks then this meeting shunned the media because they was hatching another plan to gank taxpayers or employee's. Kenny Wayne Jones IS IN CHARGE of 22 million in ARPA funds folks !!! He's already on the hook for 80 grand ! Good God almighty why do we continue to allow it ?
Getting ready to rig the election against Tyree.
Anything that took place in the 'meeting' is nullified. Period.
2:46, she has, nimrod. Read Jackson Jambalaya's edition from October 14.
It's time for a new JJ poll.
Who is the bigger clown:
Kenny Wayne ?
or
Carlos Moore ?
(Antard the Great, deserves a different poll)

10:17. Thanks for illustrating the reason Jackson/Hinds has been circling the bowl for years now.
Get out the VOTE for Tyree .
Just hold over behavior he learnt during his City of Canton days. Still SOP up here.
Nothing will happen. He will get a letter he will just ignore.
'He will get a letter he will just ignore.'
USPS Rule 3.1 - To get a letter, you must have a legit address.
With apologies to Elvis, "RE-turn to sender...Address unknown..."
Hinds county chose this mans'.
They must like him and approve of his behavior.
Enjoy.
