Or once again Stamps is just race baiting and spreading what he knows to be false. It is impossible for the commission to determine who the president of the commission is; the statute is clear that's the mayor's decision period. Geees, these guys continue to show their ignorance. Even worse, their constituents don't know any better and continue to believe their ignorant comments. This is exactly why the legislature required the commission to begin with; they knew that most of the council is ignorant and doesn't know what they're doing or talking about.

He and Stokes are cut from the same cloth, but while Stamps at least tries to conduct himself with a modicum of decency, Stokes is just a vulgar, low-class demagogue who fuels racism and hate. Both of them are hurting the City more than they care to know. It will be interesting to see how Second Coming deals with these two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-7816351427797595612017-07-21T12:55:00.663-05:002017-07-21T12:55:00.663-05:00Fair point.

He is putting his administration together right now so I suspect much of this is part of the learning curve. <br /><br />Now Stamps on the other hand, he has no excuse.

The chamber isnt going to turn over their appointments to the mayor so everyone can fuss all they want. This is Antars first test to see if he can lead or not. The 1% commission will spell out what to do and if the mayor cant get it implemented by the city then we can complain.

Can't happen. First of all, Mr. O'Neill is the Vice-Chairman. Second of all, the LAW states that the Mayor's appointee is the Chairman and the legislature isn't going to go pass a law over something so minute. § 27-65-241 of the Mississippi Code states: <br /><br /><i>8(e) <b>The mayor of the municipality shall designate a chairman of the commission from among the membership of the commission.</b> The vice chairman and secretary shall be elected by the commission from among the membership of the commission for a term of two (2) years. The vice chairman and secretary may be reelected, and the chairman may be reappointed.</i>Kingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184990110961727404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-76761978468042937242017-07-21T11:53:35.523-05:002017-07-21T11:53:35.523-05:0010:14 -- How could you be "dismayed" by ...10:14 -- How could you be "dismayed" by the power grab?

The Chamber made a one-time deal in order to secure the Mayor's vote. It was not a deal intended to bind the Chamber once the vote had been taken. <br /><br />Regardless, I am dismayed by the current Mayor's attempted power grab. As for Stamps and Stokes, their ignorance is so obvious that they will never have any dangerous amount of credibility. Burkenoreply@blogger.com
