Learn something about politics in the city/state before you stick your nose into the conversation and show your ignorance. <br /><br />While the black 'vote' in Jackson will vote for Bennie over a Repub, that does not mean at all that they are all in his corner. There are four or five different 'black factions' in the county, and Bennie works against at least three of them in local/area elections. <br /><br />The Priesters (mom and dad) are in the Bennie organization neck deep. But when it comes to local politics, that helps in some parts of the city and is detrimental in others. And in the 'white' community who would like to support Jr. because he seems to be at least trying and reasonable, the fact of putting Bennie in control of the City chases them away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-25038872717381368892016-08-12T20:39:46.179-05:002016-08-12T20:39:46.179-05:00Kenny Stokes fo mayorKenny Stokes fo mayorDave's not herenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-44215634758341952582016-08-12T14:57:00.094-05:002016-08-12T14:57:00.094-05:00The Jackson horror show continues.

That should be followed immediately by rejecting any person who wants to be a politician in Jackson. <br />The mayor, city council and all politicians should be a name drawn out of a hat. Couldn't do any worse than the clowns we have now.

Frankly, I believe he is capable of acting autonomously. He has a good grasp of what the City has and what the City needs. I do not find him "going along to get along" on most topics. Am reaching the point where his running for Mayor may be the best thing that can happen to Jackson. <br /><br />Disagree with one of the above on Priester's being the only one with any brains. Foote seems smart enough and to ask the right questions and to study well before meetings. Hendricks would be much better if he didn't try to comply with the democratic party's line before voting what is best for Jackson. <br /><br />Have no idea why the City wants to issue contracts to unfamiliar companies. Does anyone out there know?

The consultants do not do their job and it cost the city more money to try to get things right. Somehow they never get it right but will hire more consultants anyway. <br />It is time for the city to forget about all of this minority only crap. Hire people who can get the job done. If people on the city payroll were hired only for who they are instead of their job experience and knowledge, fire them. <br /><br />As long as the people in Jackson insist on electing people who do not have any idea how to conduct business and are not even half way honest they will continue to waste money. Tax paying people and business has mostly moved out of the city. Look for more to go to the out skirts of Jackson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-63048457857816161652016-08-11T09:27:35.998-05:002016-08-11T09:27:35.998-05:00Yarber should be flush by now Yarber should be flush by now Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
