Jackson Jambalaya

what a sterling turnout-

A vote to further add another reason not to go to Clinton. Why do they go out of their way to wreck the already suffering city of Clinton economy?

Identical to Jackson's mayoral vote turnout.

Is there a hotel in Clinton and if so, why would locals be opposed to a one dollar tax on a hundred bucks spent by travelers for lodging?

9:08 - How many times a year (since the No-Tell-Hotel closed) do you go to Clinton to rent a room for the evening?

But, you asked why, right? If you're aware of the basis for the tax, there's your answer. Please keep up.

@9:08 AM - Yep, a 1% tax will ruin the economy. Let me help you. That would be $1.00 on a $100.00 room.

@9:12 AM - Yes, there are a couple of very nice hotels in Clinton. You need to get out more.

To answer a previous responder, I believe there is at least one motel in Clinton, because I believe that is where that previous president of Jackson State got caught.

@9:08 AM - Is upset because 1% would increase the rooms that he rents by the hour. Save your money and park in a Jackson alley to get your jollies, and maybe a few infections.

@9:08 AM - Sorry, but Clinton doesn't have any "no-tell motels," nor rooms that rent by the hour (minutes for you), so you will have to find a cockroach motel along I-55.

Based on the traffic I'd say the town is doing quite well economically.

By the way, congrats to the boys and girls soccer teams for winning state and the girls track team for winning state. Glad you invested in the parks decades ago.

While we are at it, congrats to CPSD on being ranked #1 in the metro area and #2 in the state for public school systems. Ignore the haters.

Attn 9:53. you are. Correct, they don’t have no-tell hotels. If they did, the JSU president might still have that job.

I don't know what this post has to do with Tate and hospitals but your comment is not getting approved.

Also yesterday Water Valley rejected a 2% tourism tax just as they did two years ago.

Geez, where is all this hate coming from? Live where you want to. I like my town.

The post speaks for itself

You fail to cover things which reflect poorly on your advertisers on purpose

Headlines about true stories hurting real Mississippians and existing real solutions are not seen here

You are a sham and I can’t wait for AI to obscure you from the dynamic

clinton has many things “going on”-come to our farmers market on tuesday…just to see how vibrant the place is

@2:01 PM, seek a mental health eval ASAP. I'd normally exhort you to start your own media outlet but realize that you are too far gone to compete in the free market in any meaningful way. When that great Day of Obscuration finally arrives I seriously doubt you'll recognize the difference.

Once addicted, Republican or Democrat, loves their hand in your pocket.

once a tax,always a tax.

I might need to 'get out more', but that won't include touring Clinton since I'd have to go through Jackson to get there. But, really, just where are these 'hotels' in Clinton?

PS: Best Quality Inns and Suites, Hampton and others near the 18 corridor don't qualify - I don't care what the Waffle House and IHOP crowd say.

The park facilities in Clinton are fairly nice but in need of an upgrade. Better than what we have in Madison and Ridgeland with the exception of Freedom Ridge

@9:53 ohhh man. You don’t know do you? Trust me they are there and there’s more than just 1. They may advertise overnight stays but sorry we got em. Clinton has become an extension of south jax. Yes, live here and have worked calls at these fine establishments.

Provide the addresses or you are full of it.

I have no idea if 9:09 is full of it, but sure 9:15.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Clinton's economy is doing well, and the city has the same types of chain, minimal service hotels that the rest of the metro area. There are what...3 full service hotels (Westin, Hilton, & Sheraton)? And, this is a tax that is being renewed -- it's not a new tax. There are more important things to bitch about, like raw sewage, gang violence, mosquitos, and the humidity.
