Lee Held Fund-raiser, Didn't Pay Bill

It appears Jackson Ward 2 Councilwoman Angelique "Deadbeat" Lee held a fundraiser last summer.  JJ reported Saturday: 

A2Z Printing sued the Ward 2 Councilwoman on September 20, 2022 in Hinds County Court for $15,971 after she allegedly stiffed the Jackson company for services rendered during her 2020 campaign.

Invoices attached to the complaint show A2Z produced pushcarts, mailers, and yard signs.  A2Z attempted to collect the bill but did so in vain.  The company sent a demand letter to Ms. Lee on October 27, 2021 but she did not pay her bill.  

Ms. Lee never bothered to respond to the complaint although service was returned on October 25.  The clerk entered a default against her on January 17, 2023.  A2Z filed a motion for default on February 1, 2023.  The case is assigned to Hinds County Court Judge Larita Cooper Stokes.  She has not yet ruled on the motion although she has been severely ill for several weeks. 

However, Ms. Lee held a fund-raiser on July 7, 2022. The invitation is posted below.  



Kingfish note: The question must be asked: What exactly did Ms. Lee do with the money raised at the event? Was enough money raised to pay the bill?

Where the money went may be a mystery, but one outfit who did not print the invitations is known.

Be careful, regular commenters, or you'll piss off Uncle Jeff, who could probably dissapear your chatter blog with a text or a phone call. Will be interesting to see if he pays/helps pay her bill. Not sure why he should or would, given that they are a relatively wealthy(compared to most of you here) family, but he may do so out of pity.

Sooner or later people are going to learn not to do business with any part of Jackson government. Deadbeat city with deadbeat leadership. Even Foote had tax liens for unpaid taxes.

I'm not surprised. I'm sure she lived on the proceeds of the fundraiser - that's how she rolls. Remember, she got elected living in Ridgeland, using her Dad's address. I don't expect her constituents to do anything about her - she's in now!

@12:20 what does your comment have to do with unpaid campaign bills owed by an individual?

A democrat that doesn't pay their bills? I'm shocked!

I've seen Republican candidates stiff others too when it came to campaign bills.

Does this constitute an ethics issue? I’m eondering if the Mississippi Ethics Commission would do anything about it, if so.

Crooks do crooked stuff. That is the simple definition and more than enough for me.

KF: what does councilwoman Lee do for a job?

Anonymous said...

It is common to see election losers try to walk away from campaign bills, but the winner? Once in office, she should be able to raise that amount of money in 24 hours. She truly thinks she has joined royalty. Common misconception among the local elected class.

Anonymous said...

Simple solution. Surely Councilwoman Lee followed the law and filed appropriate (required) campaign finance statements. Look at them - see what she raised, and where she spent the funds. I know Councilwoman Lee would not fail to file the reports, or lie on the ones that were filed. Right?

Notice actblue as the processing outfit. Harvesting identity and addresses to launder much larger illegal donations is a racket.

I can't see how Ms. Stokes being the judge isn't a HUGE conflict of interest. The connection is just too close.

No sympathy for Rooftop from me. Live and learn sometimes we have to pay for our education.

When I was in the printing business I would never extend credit to anyone running for office. There is a reason for that, history.

No kinda lesson like a bought lesson.

Ms Lee, you must contact the people you owe and make arrangements for payment. You are not setting a good example and being a good steward!

I don’t know you or have dogs in this hunt but, I want my money when services are rendered. Half up front from politicians!

Naw I better get all up front. You messed it up for all the politicians in your league!

Most print shops won't do business with politicians without payment up front for the items ordered.

You've 'seen' it, you know of it or you heard about it? Or you made that up?

Really? Name them.

"@12:20 what does your comment have to do with unpaid campaign bills owed by an individual?"

Probably nothing, since there is no post with that time stamp.

@11:17 - surely you jest! Then again, it would remove the Legend from Hinds County politics and that would be good.

Robert Graham - does anyone else remember Airwave?

Anonymous said...

11:17, no, the leadership in Jackson is what the city voted for, expect, accept and deserve.

Anonymous said...

ahhhh, Airwave. the $4.2m gift that crashed the city/county E911 system and broke the E911 fund. How soon people forget, how little does the (any!) Auditor actually catch. Graham would always manage to spend time with Nathan and Stacey on claims docket day. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Graham is no different than the Princeling Antar, just doesn’t gumflap as much.

When is someone going to dig into how Lumumba funded her campaign to stack the council?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
