Jackson Jambalaya

I wonder if they are going to illegally close the Courthouses tomorrow like they did list week.

Ever watch the Peanuts specials on TV when you were a kid? Ever wonder what the deal was with the teacher that sounded like a french horn?

I thought Archie was conducting a filibuster. I really wanted to see that because I have never seen a filibuster in a county meeting. What happened? Did I miss it? Damn.

the lady at the desk probably wants to drink a fifth of whiskey every night

I agree with Archie on one thing, We are all in a "bad situation".

Ole Kenny Wayne is just sitting there drinking coffee and collecting a big check watching Hinds County go to hell, no skin off his nose. Life is good.

if the city offices are closed then that was grounds for the meeting to continue on and be virtual. He overtalks everyone. when is the next election?

Chokphuchry's "social determinants" at play here undoubtedly...

No doubt Judge Reeves is now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that he should give these clowns yet another chance to get the problems at the jail resolved.

Any time David Archie is evolved, it is TOTAL TRAIN WRECK!!!!!!!

@9:52 am - HaHaHaHa! Best comment!

Just watched it. Embarrassing isn’t the right word to describe the incompetence on display

So, at first blush this appears brilliant. Have a meeting on zoom. Whoever runs the meeting can mute the others until he recognizes them. The zoom can be recorded and the public can be allowed to view. Frankly, why ever go back?

Clearly they still need to figure out the finer details.

They need little signs to make motions, second, and vote aye and nay. David Archie is out of business if they figure this out.

Attorney shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head as if to say, WFT am I doing here?

If you watch this without volume, you can hear Sinatra singing Send in the Clowns.

A free circus.

Since nothing is getting done anyway, does it matter who the board president is?

David L. Archie will become president at 12:01 A.M.

David L. Archie will become president at 12:01 A.M.

AND find himself on the losing end of every vote 2-3 going forward. He'll be totally powerless.

10:15……yep and Kenny doesn’t live in hinds county ! No tugging lie.

11:38…..ummmmm sure but have you ever had a conversation with Bobcat ? Box of bricks. All five of them are train wrecks in their own way.

9:47 - why is that action illegal?
9:52 - winning comment of the day; right on target
9:53 - not really a filibuster; just a lot of bluster. Although he appeared to be winning the day, until one of Tyree's boys entered the fray. Hell, David even moved the attorney back to his pew while he was in control of the 'non-meeting'
12:52 - muting would be a good move, whether on Zoom or in person; if 20 pound Kenny would earn his pay, they would have him keep all mics on mute until the President recognized them. Would at least slow down (and quieten down) Archie's antics.
12:35 - true, but the answer to his WTF question is "drawing a big paycheck", trying to match the fees that Espy collects from the circus up north thanks to the move led by Gerald Steen (D-Ridgeland)
2:30 - I doubt it, if nothing else will take moving this to a courtroom, not a board room. Truth is, if this meeting was illegal as Archie kept on telling us, he should be making that argument upstairs on the 4th floor.
2:56 - correct. And that, my friends, is the final word.

4:17, and what's your point? Where is the requirement that a hired employee live in the county? Maybe good politics, but not law. And as the City of Jackson has proven with their residency requirements, not always a good policy.

I don't know what in the cornbread hell is going on in this video, but I'd pay two weeks pay for Public Access Channel Rasta Man to bust up in there and call them all out for being representations of basest level of opposable thumbs known to science.

Looking back over the past 25 years, Rasta Man seems to have been a man with an understanding of the future of the City of Jackson. We all thought he was absolutely nuts and just pure entertainment, but he consistently called out the city leaders as jack-wagons. In hindsight, and given the progression of the failure of the city's infrastructure, the continuing weakening of the status of police power, and blatant ineptitude of city government officials, he was nail meet hammer. Pump the brakes and think about it.

People have to not wonder why Hinds county is in the current state it's in after watching this. What a clown show!! Everyone envolved is a POS!!

Credell has been a crook a long time. David has exposed Calhoun.
Bobcat is stupid and some say he the smarest in his family. Report says he is stealing County gas for his bus and uses the county tractors to make money on the side.

8:12…no point. Just pointing it out. And the report about Bobcat using his county issued card isn’t really fair without mentioning the other five. Lol.

Nice investigative reporting, @9:03. You must have been trained at the Barksdale school of reporting with Mississippi Today.

"Report says" someone is a crook (forget the part about being stupid, that's a matter of opinion and hard to document) is hardly a reasonable comment, even on this blog site.

If he is stealing gas and using county equipment, provide the proof. I'm sure Shad White would be glad to deal with this once you pony up with some documentation. And - if its true, then I'm sure Archie would like to have the details as well, so that he could use it to get rid of the third vote.

Not much difference than saying that Calhoun is a crook, but the broader statement would certainly get you at least a B+ on the Barksdale exam. Why not tell us what he is doing as well - is it stealing gas also? Does Graham use county gas in BOTH of his county issued vehicles, or is he legit from your research?

Inquiring minds want to know, and since you have such good inside knowledge we would appreciate your sharing.

Graham has two issued vehicles ? It’s bad enough that they all got brand new f150’s …… wait, do there assistants also have new trucks and a card ?

It’s awesome to watch a battle of wits between unarmed opponents. True democracy in action. Or inaction actually. Apparently no one who voted these jackasses into office ever watches this clown show. Or maybe they do and this is the desired outcome. Scary.
