I live in Clinton. But from what I have seen, if I lived in the area in question, I would want Mary and her crew in charge of zoning and not that group that has allowed unlimited starter neighborhoods and strip malls.

“ I live in Clinton.”

Thanks for telling us right off the bat that you don’t live in or near Gluckstadt and don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. The strip malls you see are because they were approved before Gluckstadt became a city.

I think many saw this fight by "Madison the City" before Gluckstadt's was even incorporated.

I’d chose Madison over Gluckstadt any day.

While Gluckstadt has a blank canvas and a bright future, I have already seen the nepotism and good-ole-boy system at work in that city.

I think they need to worry about their FD and PD before what Madison is doing.

Leaders of recently incorporated Gluckstadt saying this property obstructs their path for growth? Laughable. Mary will bleed their legal budget dry.

Gluckstadt are a bunch of low IQ rednecks and hillbillies. They should be so lucky to be annexed into the City of Madison. There is no finer city in this entire state!

Pearls before swine!

On most days I take a longer route to not go through Gluckstadt or get gas/groceries. Maybe when the new police station is built and paid for the speed traps will stop, but I’m not going to risk it. I can’t believe the voters in the city limits haven’t run off the mayor and chief yet. They certainly don’t need more area to work their scheme.

4:51 - you could just maybe not speed?

Madison County (or Madison "The City") is not what it used to be.

Many folks up there are starting realize this fact.

All one needs to do ... is drive around what were once exclusive
neighborhoods.

Now, unkept landscaping and government housing seems to be the trend
in some of those once nice areas.

What's next Annandale ?

I live in Reunion and travel through Gluckstadt daily on the way to the interstate. It would not bother me one bit if Gluckstadt could find some way to incorporate us into gluckstadt.

4:51 PM is correct regarding the City of Gluckstadt’s speed traps.

Take the Madison exit then go Bozeman. Stay away from the Gluckstadt exit, Calhoun Station Parkway (I miss going by Sullivan’s), and Stribling Road Ext.

For decades the City of Madison has operated as a class act city that believes strongly in law and order, but not speed trapping its citizens that pay the real estate/city taxes, school taxes and sales taxes.

Gluckstadt is the new Wilmer Alabama. Hopefully the City of Madison will kick their a___s, take in more area, and we can look to move back into its city limits.

Attn 4:37 PM, if you want to get away from rednecks and Hillbillies, why not move to Jackson? I can assure you you will not have a problem with either “social” class.

Wow. Let’s see why you don’t want Gluckstadt to be in charge of anything. 1: Their website says Meet Your Elected Officials. No one has been elected to anything yet. All appointments. 2: They have an alderman named Jayce Powell. Works at a bicycle shop. Was arrested for drugs once by county SO. 3: John Taylor. Former county GOP chairman. Advocate for Madison to be separated from Rankin in the judicial district.

Attn 4:51 I go through there almost daily. Maybe you go through Gluckstadt later at night after becoming legally drunk. Maybe you should find an alternate route. Please respond (tomorrow when you sober up.)

"I have already seen the nepotism and good-ole-boy system at work..."

The only way to avoid such things in Mississippi without replacing nearly every elected, appointed, and hired "public employee" is to move to either Louisiana or Alabama. Of course, then you'll have the issue of either LA or AL "nepotism and good-ole-systems at work."

I know it won't solve the problem immediately, but if every single elected official were voted out in their next election and replaced by ANY challenger, and the voters made it clear why they voted them out, it might begin to put some much needed fear into the new bunch. A couple of cycles of that, and things might get at least a little better.

The second best thing would be a recall system that allowed 50% plus one vote of the number of voters who voted someone in to vote them out, i.e., if the current office-holder got in with 10000 votes, 5001 votes to recall would put them on the street. And I think we all know what the reaction would be among our elected fuckups would be if such a recall system looked like it might gain wide approval.

4:03, no need to be an ass. Gluckstadt looks like Byram 20 years ago. Brand spanking new, but the writing is on the wall. They incorporated 20 years too late.

Pretty sure the original comment nailed it. Riding down Gluckstadt Rd is a lot like riding down Highway 80 back in 1985. No shortage of fast food outlets and nice gas stations.

Gluckstadt looks like Byram 20 years ago.

Actually about 30 years ago.

@4:51 PM - Don't break the law and you shouldn't have any issues. Duh.

The Gluckstadt Mayor and Council should have invoked a development moratorium immediately after becoming a city. Most of the existing/ under construction buildings are lacking in architectural design, there is no development plan, and the traffic is already becoming a gridlock situation.

6:35 PM, doubt it sounds like 4:51 is drunk to anyone else but you. Does “sound” like you “could” be employed by Gluckstadt.

4:51’s post makes a lot of sense and other LEO’s will confirm that Gluckstadt is “writing tickets right and left.” End quote.

For decades the City of Madison has operated as a class act city that believes strongly in law and order, but not speed trapping its citizens that pay the real estate/city taxes, school taxes and sales taxes.

It’s going to be a lot of fun watching Mary schooling these amateurs.

The Gluckstadt mayor wants what Madison wants, but he doesnt' want Madison to have it...because he wants it instead...and somehow he feels his is the more justified argument.

Hate to say but they still allow these little bldgs with just a front parapet wall sticking up... no sides or back to hide the truth. So, from the Interstate or other backside views, you see these 'fake' fronts with props behind them bracing them up... making them look like fireworks stands. Like down on 49 south. Not cool at all.

Also agree with the poster who said that they should hope & relish the day they could be absorbed into Madison.

7:32 nail it. G-stadt is way too late to the party. Better to leave it to Mary and the pros.

6:19 PM Does John Taylor want Madison County to be its own judicial district or does he support combining Madison County with Yazoo and Holmes County like our current old fart Lt. Governor.

How do you Maaaaadison folks see where you’re going cause you’re always looking down your noses at everyone else?

Someone please explain why John Taylor or Gerald Steen ,BOS president, want to be included with Yazoo and Holmes county. I understand Mr. Steen votes with the 2 democrats on the BOS.6:19 where is your proof Delbert wants to see that happen. Regarding annexation , there is plenty of room NW of Gluckstadt for them to annex.

Appears Mother Mary has sent out the word to her minions to start the war on Gluckstadt.

5:13, 6:35, 8:13, by chance do you know any “just maybe not speed” “don’t break the law” “by the book” “gung-ho” ticket writer for slow rolling a stop sign, speed trapping LEO’s that might have fixed a ticket for maybe someone that did a favor for them at their home, or fixed a ticket for another LEO’s friend or relative - do you?

Asking for a really good friend.

P.S. for those living or with property within the proposed annexation, you’ve got a choice between chicken salad (Madison) or chicken S _ _ t (Gluckstadt).

@7:23 Mary doesn't need to put out the word or send out memos. The citizens of Madison know the score and don't need prompting.

17th SAFEST city in these United States. Don't argue with results.

Don't blame Gluckstadt for the traffic problems. Lay those complaints directly at the feed of the Madison County BOS.

Let Madison have it, my property value will just continue to escalate , many don’t want Mary’s Madness!

I heard Gluckstadt is getting a NASCAR track.

"Now, unkept landscaping and government housing seems to be the trend
in some of those once nice areas."

Where is there any "government housing" anywhere in Madison (the City)?

By any chance were you trying to spell "unkempt"? I am not familiar with the legal violation involving "unkept" landscaping.....

Y’all have got to be kidding. Madison doesn’t want to handle the crap they’ve got. Check
Out the June AG’a opinions.

"I would want Mary and her crew in charge of zoning and not that group that has allowed unlimited starter neighborhoods and strip malls."

Have a seat on the dunce-stool, Toodlum. Gluck has been incorporated for two years almost. All of this hodge-podge came compliments of the Board of Supervisors, over the past fifteen years.

Good to see Mary's people (all four of 'em) posting in numbers. They're unbelievably easy to spot.

John Taylor DOES NOT want the judicial lines to be redrawn to put Madison in with Holmes County. I’m not sure where this inaccurate information is coming from, but it’s not true.

As are the jealous.

I love watching the s--- on Jackson crowd get their feathers in the ruffle when someone says anything about their precious Gluckstadt.

Oh no, how could you say that about MY StorageMax.

Gluckstadt is having to deal with and do their best to fix the shit show the Madison County Board of Supervisors created. It will take considerable time to fix all of that. As a city they will be able to have more control over what goes on. 99% of the buildings (including the strip shopping centers) you see were all approved by the county. Too bad Gluckstadt couldn't incorporate 10 years ago. And everyone talks about those strip shopping centers. Open your eyes people. There are several in Madison. Ride down Hwy 51 and Main Street (north side). Maybe they are just camouflaged better. From what I see posted on the Gluckstadt page there are some really nice developments in the process of being built or coming. Give it some time.

8:48 obviously you don’t know John Taylor. He has been very vocal for several years now about Madison separating from Rankin judicial district. You must be smoking the same stuff Jayce Powell and John Taylor voted for.

Gerald Steen is largely responsible for the vast array of strip malls, gas stations and fast food dominating the landscape. My guess is he gets some kick backs. Sad that a resident on the board would sell his own community, but not surprising. Gluckstadt Road already looks like garbage. Just wait until the “shine” wears off on the new commercial buildings….then it will be an even uglier speed trap.
