I was transfixed, suspecting that I was about to receive pearls of wisdom, as soon as I read the words:


In order to avoid the intellengence of the uninformed,

Not even being able to spell intelligence, not to mention allegations and religion along with the tense and grammar errors, makes Mr. Gavin's calling anyone uninformed laughable.

@2:57 PM

Reminds me of my high school vice-Principal who mispronounced education as “edumacation”

I would rather wear gasoline shorts in hell than read this again.

Why don't you asshats use the information presented instead of critiquing the spelling included in it. It was not a paper written for an English Comp exam. It was an attempt to educate the ignorant and those who rushed to judgment.

I think he did a good job of putting out the fire Kingfish attempted to light.

Merry Christmas.

He left significant gravitas on the table by failing to include the phrase "Res ipsa loquitur" in his statement.

Sic ‘em, Shad.

Yeah, that explains a lot.

He was President right?

Can you hunt them alligations in the reservoir?

"In order to avoid the intellengence of the uninformed"

An introduction like that completely undermines all credibility of everything that follows.

It's just packed with arrogance and thin-skinned defensiveness. It says "I look down on you like an idiot, with no awareness that's exactly what I am."

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it.

To ensure accurate information dissemination and counteract misinformation, we invite you to review the details of the recent Hinds County Board Meeting held on December 18th, which was reconvened on December 19th (not as a special call meeting). You can access the recording through the following link: https://playback.lifesize.com/...

Key points to address potential misconceptions:

The allocation of APRA Funds for the Hinds County economic development program occurred on April 18, 2022, amounting to $4 million. (Refer to the minutes of that meeting for verification.)
Around the 7:50 mark in the recorded meeting, the Attorney was asked to present a synopsis of the program due to the presenter's eye surgery.
At approximately 25:38, a motion was proposed to award the project to Jackson State University for $1 million, along with a detailed statement outlining the program's scope of work.
Around 34:24, Supervisor David Archie, seconded by Supervisor Robert Graham, made a motion to pay vendor(s) not listed on the current claims docket. This decision necessitated a Special call meeting on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, at 10:00 am to approve the claims.
After reviewing the meeting, we trust that your conclusions will align with the board's decisions. This wasn't a last-minute effort to secure funds; rather, it represents the culmination of a well-planned program, involving 18 meetings to gather input from stakeholders in the business community, religious and social organizations, educational institutions, medical institutions, governmental agencies, etc.

We hope this information aids in informing the citizens about the actions taken by the Hinds County Board of Supervisors. Please visit the website to watch the board meeting firsthand and obtain information directly, free from misinformation.

How did he get elected to anything?

That totally explains a lot!

What are APRA funds? Does he mean ARPA funds?

It is better to remain silent when the explanation given is poorly worded, unclear, and not on point. Mr. Gavin's contribution did nothing to support his position.

Funeral arrangements for the King’s English are pending…

My alligator ate my alligations.

I give him credit. Whether I agree or not, at least he addressed it.

To his credit he didn't include "right" one time. Right?

Don Drane, there’s two aspects to Mr. Gavin’s post. One, he did cast new light on the million dollar transaction with JSU that made it look much better. Two, Mr. Gavin has absolutely no familiarity with the King’s English, which should embarrass anyone he represents. I can’t imagine the side-eye Mrs. Ricks would give you for defending him.

Evolutiun Ov Ebonicks.

10:49 - Cora Bobo died decades ago. But you go right ahead and concentrate on The King's English, if that's your strong suit.

You do fit right in with the rest of the knuckleheads criticizing the man for doing the right thing, however.

I've got the balls to include my name here. Do you?

Reptiles in pinstripes, love that word picture of alligators alligating. BTW, alligators can leap from the water onto the bank, when there's a turtle or duck or $1M to snatch.

"Supersiver" David Archie. I knew he had to be a Marvel critter.

So how does this explain why these rescue funds held up since April (from COVID) could not be allocated by the incoming board? The actual vote on awarding these funds to some group under the name of JSU was not done in April but done last week. I'm sure there is plenty of other business they have pending that will be passed on to the next board but this had to be "completed" now. Get outta here.

Good thing JSU is a foremost authority on Econ,ic development….

JSU has gotten $250,000.00 for the last two years, to support “economic development” in Vicksburg and has nothing to show for it. So far, MSU is the only school that has showed up; can’t miss the MSU billboard along the interstate. Can’t wait to see how they misspend a million.

You have to have an invention to get a patent, trademarks aren’t hard, and a registered copyright costs less than $100.

David L. Archie antics were too much, but at least he would call out BS and vote against this crap.

8:13 $250,000? What's that going to do? Two consultant fees and a seminar with refreshments will piss that away whether it's JSU or Harvard. Well, maybe you can put up a billboard. Move on.

good point @ 12:37 PM...the good folk of hinds county / Jackson seem to vote people into office that best resemble them, their values, education levels and expectations. @ 5:08 PM....details do matter.
