Jackson Jambalaya

Is inserting "Hon" in front of one's name similar to finishing sentences with "right?"

Charlatans

Hinds and Jackson are lost.

He has been telling everyone that he knows what’s going on. As a lifelong citizen of Hinds County I can remember when the roads were maintained, the right of ways were cut and even prisoners were used. We had very little to no potholes, there was a “mosquito truck” that operated twice per week, ditches cleaned out to prevent flooding, and people had pride in their jobs. The road foreman lived down the road from where I grew up and he knew everyone was going to ask him any questions about maintenance before they would go to the county supervisor for our district. There happened to be an investigation in the mid 70’s about certain County Supervisors in Mississippi and the FBI conducted it. Any wrongdoers were sent to jail. Somewhere in the 90’s things took a change and it wasn’t good. I live near Raymond and it’s not a good situation. The county cannot properly maintain the roads, we have potholes as bad as jackson, bridges are closed in numerous places, certain roads where county employees are being maintained to a very much higher standard than anyone else’s, county vehicles are not properly maintained due to the county cannot pay its bills. A new sign at the entrance to the Hinds Parkway in Byram at a cost of $250,000 cannot be completed due to no funds to pay the contractor who had to pull off the job, the issue with Waste Management making us use their 96 gallon containers was shoved in our face without us being notified (BS if we were notified), money has been spent with Covid funds that do not relate to anything near what it was intended for. And you all think David Archie is crazy? By the way, I’m a white middle aged male. We haven’t had decent leadership in over 30 years. Go figure. And Madison and Rankin you need to heed my warning.

So the same old corruption continues even with new supervisors in place.

Sorry Toni

The hinds county board of supervisors already screwed over us residents of hinds county with the new garbage contract.

If Archie and Smith ever get into a physical confrontation,
my money is on David L.

After all ... we know David L. can tear-up a "COVID secure" plexiglass
Board Room in about 55 seconds.

>We had very little to no potholes(...)

That was still bandaids over bullet wounds. That chicken came home to roost with the recievership of the water system and the resulting exposure of all the well past due water mains needing to be replaced about 40 years ago. That's my only nit pick.

DAM Archie, GO W WAY, JUST GO WAY!!!! I guess Archie just don't get it, the people don't want to have anything to do with him!!!!!!!

"By the way, I’m a white middle aged male. We haven’t had decent leadership in over 30 years. Go figure. And Madison and Rankin you need to heed my warning."

You got that right buddy! I recently left Madison county and have watched Gerald Steen practice his underhanded tactics since he was on the Board of Alderman in Ridgeland. Now that I'm in Rankin county I'm starting to see some of the same, though it's not yet as bad as Madison and Hinds.

DANG, this is good stuff. David Archie is onto some good things after all-

I am the 1:02 poster. I need to make a correction to my date. The FBI sting occurred in the 1980’s not 1970’s. One thing I might want to add that I did not was, there was a time when the FBI would actually investigate and do their jobs. That’s how the 57 supervisors from 26 counties were caught in the Operation Pretense which actually occurred in the 1980’s. They fear doing this now because they will be called racists.

Tony Smith is hiring Toni Johnson
Wanda Evers is hiring Othor Cain
Debra Dixon is being rumored to hire Patty Patterson.

If Smith is hiring Johnson it needs be pointed out and Smith needs to go.

Lots of "no show" patronage positions being filled. Cha-ching.

Archie seeking that PERS

It’s all falling together now. County Administrator and the Hinds County Public Works Director are retiring. How convenient. Are they thinking to themselves “sssshhhhhhh, maybe they won’t find the missing funds!” Sorry folks. This affects a lot of people. Hinds County has the highest tax rate in the State, nothing to show for it, and it’s obvious the grant money for the Hinds County Parkway, Covid Funds and tax collections have been misspent. So what does Smith have to gain by “hiring” this woman? If it’s to teach him how to steal without getting caught then he is already too late. That train left the station and this house of cards is about to fall. If the FBI would do their job we wouldn’t be in this shape we are currently in. These people are not scared to get caught.

FBI commenter-since when did election commissioners
manage county funds? If they did- why didn’t they get
pulled in with the string of supervisors in the 80s?
Supervisors have fiduciary responsibility- not a small
fry like Johnson. Since no one on this page will say it-
the trick is to railroad a small peon by lying- while
the real crooks like Graham , Archie, Brett run away with
the bank. I’m willing to bet Archie has county funds and
Property with him. I also heard he’s used county funds
to pay his tab for food and alcohol- with the county
credit card. Did y’all see the unqualified folks Archie hired?
When we wanna talk facts, and which elected roles
so what in county government- respond. How did she
Steal all this money with restitution of $25k?
