Think it has anything to do with the double dipping wlbt uncovered recently?

Whoa Nelly. Double dipping, yes, and I also wonder if the Feds haven’t looped him into their investigation into Bailey. This guy was pretty tight with some Rankin County leadership to get a sweet little side hustle in the tax assessor’s office, and we all know how decent and above-board Sullivan is.

Ya think? It was only a matter of time. Mayor made a bonehead hire.

I bet he has is time in to qualify for PERS. Those years double dipping sure help with the highest 4 year average. He should be prosecuted for fraud and that salary he was earning from the Tax Assessors Office should not be allowed to count. Then all the money he earned should be paid back. If the same situation involved an employee in any other county but Rankin, Shad would be all over it. Remember this when Shad runs for Lt. Governor on his way to being governor. We keep voting the same type people into office then wonder why nothing ever changes.
Hopefully KF and/or CJ Lemaster will do some investigative journalism and not let this die.

Rankin Co's LE chief executives are the best that money can buy.

Did anyone ever see Chief Scott interviewed on TV ? I certainly did not. Jake always did the talking for the city. I'm sure there's a lot of behind the scene things covered up. He will reappear in another local law enforcement agency down the road. Watch out for him, cause he's combustible with that badge.

Heard he was a dick to his employees for trying to do the same double dipping, he was doing.
Remember, be careful of how you treat people. Karma has its way of biting back.
Shad White and the media's a snitch away.

Why would one thing have to do with another?

He will be appointed Sheriff.

Has to do with that among other things also.

6:36. I have. He and Bailey have nearly the same vocal cords.
All baritone.

Indictment incoming.......?!?!?!

Time wounds all heels.

The department has been an embarrassment for several years. Shady dealings, good ‘ol boy protection and so much conduct unbecoming for officers. Blind eyes and sweeping so much under the rug. There are good officers there but so many that disgrace the badge. What they are allowed to get away with starts at the top. So disappointing to see the city running with no direction.

January 18, 2024 at 6:51 PM, are you saying be careful of the backs you stab on the way up, because they may be connected to the asses you have to kiss on the way down?

6:26 You are spot on!

I suspect 6:26 has his head up his ass with that double dipping PERS comment.

Unless he was shown as an employee on the payroll at both places, with contributions being made by employee and employer at both places, the wages he raked in at 'the side hustle' will not be recorded by or recognized by PERS.

8:50

I am stealing that - thanks!

7:04 wins.

7:04. No….just no.

@4:47- I have known plenty of people who held a PERS qualifying job with two different PERS qualifying employers, by doing so increasing their high four year average.
If this isn’t the case here prove me wrong.

In the 90s when we were teenagers, this dude was a roid head and had a BADDDDDDDDDD reputation for bar fights. This means nothing now as he may be a deacon at the church for all I know, but back then he was a bad dude.

Was a bouncer at the Dock back then. Was a gym monster. Tore it up in bench press meets.

I miss the Dock!

in the early 90's this scott guy worked for jackson police. he happened up on a millsaps student running through the belhaven area while nude. later it turned out the student was on a acid trip.
scot tackled him, rolled him up into a ball , and sat on him and 3 minutes later the kid was dead from suffocation.
scott was never disciplined, suspended, or charged with anything.

the family of the student later sued JPD and got a large recovery. the coxwell firm handled the case. don't take my word for it...look it up.

scott is a typical pathological thug. the law enforcement community is rife with them. scott could qualify for the goon squad.



remember them?
or is that old news now?

Dean Scott has been a bad apple for a long time. See Beck v. City of Jackson from around 2000.

"I have known plenty of people who held a PERS qualifying job with two different PERS qualifying employers, by doing so increasing their high four year average.
If this isn’t the case here prove me wrong."

It's not my job to 'prove you wrong' as I have no way to do that. I'm not in personnel at either place, nor are you.

That's why I said "Unless he was on payroll...and both employee and employer were paying into the system.

I'm not privy to that, and again, neither are you. And, yes, I doubt your claim that you 'have known plenty of people who yada yada'.

8:32 - nothing wrong with having two PERS covered jobs, but I believe the issue here was that time sheets showed him working at both places at one time. That would be problem with any two employers one may have, PERS having nothing to do with the issue. Some of these folks just like to bash PERS at any opportunity.

to 11:39am.................the 'issue'' here is good old fashioned criminal fraud.

the neo-nazi keyboard cowboys of JJ just cannot seem to comprehend that.

Come one folks, we all know the reason - so he can spend more time with his family.

I am so amused by these comments, when clearly you have no facts to base these comments. Educate yourself before making assumptions! Surely you know what ASSuming does. And CJ contradicts and lies to himself with every "investigation" report regarding this so called side hustle! You can check out the board minutes to see that Mr. Scott was a salary employee for his Rankin parttime job. How is he to blame for the board approving his hire? If anything shady was going on, I'd be questioning the man in charge......the Tax Assessor. He would be handling timesheets, and why would he have a set salaried employee on any timesheets? Btw, there's usually 3 sides to every story. Funny how everyone hides behind being anonymous on here. Grow up! Life isn't fair but I can't hate on a person just because they get dealt a better deal in life.
