Jackson Jambalaya

WOAH!!!

It's about time!

I really miss the old tar and feather days.

What is Queen Mary's call on all of this? Previously, she seemed thick as thieves with Johnson, Warnock, Butch Brown, et. al. Has she expressed an opinion about the city Board's resolution? Has she changed her association with that group?

If this ALSO becomes a Mary vs. Madison Board of Alderman battle, then I gotta go buy some popcorn and settle in.

Looks like Elvis fell out of Mary's good graces...

Can't say I blame them. I remember when they snuck through the tax increase and he whined about the criticism he was getting from his constituents.

9:14 - Tim and Mary had a falling out a long time ago when he decided not to wouldn't bow to her every command. Believe me, she is behind this resolution.

So what if she is? I think he has done enough to be thrown out of office either through resignation or at the ballot box.

Maybe Mary will recruit Rudy Warnock to run against him ....

Can't he be prosecuted for these things?

I think it is best left to the voters to decide.

I can't stand her but want him gone even more.

I think all the Board of Supervisors are at fault for doing a bait and switch on the road money. We were all told it was for certain projects...and now they have decided to spend it differently. It should be spent on the orginal projects or refunded to the taxpayers.

Actually its quite clear what is going on here. Tim Johnson is being pushed out because he favors Two Lakes and opposes the Levee Plan. As the Levee Plan would be a great thing for madison, the establishment has risen against him.

Kingfish, at first blush your comment seemed crazy. After ten seconds to consider it, not so crazy.

what are they going to do with Carl Banks.

Can they do this? I have never....What is Tim saying about this? Is this even legal; I am sure it is "Mary Mother of God" has spoken!!!

1:26 Where do you see that? I checked the properties for this document and it was blank under "author" and the other entries on that screen.

1:26, there's no way to tell what computer the document KF linked to was created on because it's a scan. Document properties, including the author, wouldn't show up in a scan, they would only be accessible in the original file or a version of the origial file. And this image wasn't converted to .pdf out of Word, either -- the signatures wouldn't show up.

Have you seen a different file than what is linked? If so, please post.

It would be a very good thing for Madison County to get both Tim and Mary out of office!

Tim surely seems to be a shit magnet. Seems everything he does is contoversial.

I spoke to the attorney in question and he had nothing to do with it. Its an older computer that wound up with a former employee. Was an older mac and he was the geek of the firm so he installed word programs on it way back when and it was under his license. He's had his hands too full with Evans stuff the last few days to fool with Madison County politics. I'm now zapping every post with his name in them because there is no reason for them to stand.

Queen Mary and the King of Rock n Roll--you can't make this shit up.

Just saw Mary on the TV. Not impressed. Seems bitter. Or is it just me?

F'ing cover up city Kingfish. Bullshit.

Huh?

Looks like Mother Mary is not getting her way and she's mad.

I don't guess it bothers anyone you got taken on a huge bond issue, got nothing out of it, and Rudi walked away with millions in fees.

You are so right on Kingfish.Then they tried to get District 5 all rattled over black and white to divert the attention meanwhile Rudy is getting away with millions. I saw straight throw the cherry red lips and the punk hair.

Just think the road to no where also known as Calhoun Station and wonder who all the landowners are? Don't forget this is where the dollars are going.. But they killed the Reunion Interchange is that because they did not want to buy any land on the North Parkway or the Galleria Parkway because they would have to pay the PID tax themselves instead of getting the taxpayers to pay for it. Oops I forget that our elected officials don't make alot of salary it is just the perks of having inside info and how they can forsee where the growth will be for themselves. It is all about what the taxpayer can pay.....

Zapped it because you deliberately mistated some facts. The attorney in question handled the computers himself. Pay attention. I said that. The firm split and the computers were split up as well. He had installed MS office and word on all the computers. Now as literate as you appear to be, I'm sure you are aware that for a business you buy MS Office with the ability to load it on several computers with one license. That should be an older edition of word that was used. It was not the attorney you accuse.

He is also working on the Evans case. I know what has been going on in that case in and out of court and I very seriously doubt he has had much time to do anything else outside of that case. if you don't believe me, go look at pacer instead of trying to falsely accuse me and others.

I'm going to keep zapping you as the attorney in question had nothing to do with it. Period.

What? Based on his word? LMAO You've played your hand here and it isn't a winner.

Let's see Kingfish. You posted this original story with the link to the MS Word document at 8:30 AM. What time was it when you received that second file, the PDF with the signatures?

The colleagues of the "attorney in question" whose name you don't want mentioned are known entities. Let's see if they'll claim ownership of this older Mac. Odd how the "attorney in question" has told you exactly that one of these older Macs, even though he doesn't possess it any longer, is the computer on which the witch hunt for Tim Johnson was put to words.

Keep diggin' pal. Your transparency reputation, well earned, is taking major broadsides.

Why is Mr. Jerk worrying about an attorney drawing up the paper when there is so much here. More like engineering fees, really more like just giving out blank checks signed by the taxpayers, hey lets play bingo. Hey who went to the Super Bowl, engineering can also be fun too with alot of time to Colts.

The fire is behind the smoke that Kingfish is blowing.

Is this the best you can do? You can't disagree with the issues of tax increases, bond abuse, and other controversies so your best hope is to try and attack the drafter? Does it really matter WHO actually drafted it? I don't like every resolution the Jackson city council drafts but I don't wonder who actually drafted them.

Let me see, there was a huge Evans hearing Friday. Motion to quash by Charles hearing this week. I also know about conferences and meeting that have taken place, not to mention the court issued its order yesterday and there have been more documents filed as well. I SERIOUSLY doubt he had any time to draft such a resolution. I have a pretty good idea who did and I think if you dig further, you would probably agree with my suspicions.

Great dodge Kingfish.

Does it really matter WHO actually drafted it?

On a witch hunt you're damn well right it matters. The resolution isn't about the issues, it is about politics and you're intellectually dishonest to pretend otherwise.

Who gives a shit? This is supposed to be a blog about Tim Johnson, not some Mickey Mouse cat and mouse game.

Witch hunt? ok. Have it your way. Everyone here is out to get Tim Johnson. Got it. And I'm a bald-faced liar. I've had people like you show up here before calling me dishonest and when time passed, it turns out they were the ones being dishonest instead.

Tell you what, if you want to accuse the attorney in question of drafting it, do it under your REAL NAME so he can take appropriate action against you if he so desires.

I do believe that someone has a nasty attitude and is not being a team player. Cam we not do a better impersonation? Let's go up north of the city and see where the most fires are really!!!!

Back to Tim Johnson and Mary Hawkins.... If anyone here needs to resign, it is the mayor. She does absolutely nothing, 24/7, but try to destroy innocent people's lives. Instead, she should try to get new business into Madison to increase her tax base. Right now, Ridgeland and Rankin County are kicking her butt!! What has happened to the Target that was suppose to be there a year ago??? If she would bring in more retail and restuarants, maybe she could give herself a raise and she could go to a decent hair salon and get those horrible roots taken care of. Oh and by the way, she'll have to go to Ridgeland or Jackson. There are none in Madison.

@ 5:33 a.m. "Destroy innocent people lives"not hardly innocent. You have a President of the Board who controls the Majority of the votes and play's the race card with the 2 black supervisor if someone(who would have to be white) questions their reasons for voting with Johnson & Company(he is being controlled behind the scenes). Then you have the Bingo scandal were they are trying to send a innocent Mother of 2 to jail because she informed the authorities of their wrong doings. By the way, the black people in North Madison County was told they were getting tennis courts, walking trails, and new community center from that bond and Mary was trying to take it from them. Which was a lie to hundreds of people. Because road money is just that road money. Are we still talking about innocent people:":: I think NOT!!!

I live in Madison and have watched these relationships for years. I understand where Mayor Mary is coming from, but don't always agree with her. On this subject. The bond money was for work to be done in a specific area of the county. Once MDOT required transparancy in the selection of the contractor / engineers, The BOS , 3 of them at least, refused. My questions are these: Why do they refuse to be a transparent govenment? Why do they continually use the same engineer? Aren't there other options? and lastly, why act like a child and take these tax dollars elsewhere, where there is less poplulation and taxdollar revenue? Should the Businesses and Homeowners that bear the brunt of the taxes not recieve much of the reward? It is our money, for goodness sake.

What time was it when you received that second file, the PDF with the signatures?

@ concerned Taxpayer:I agree with you but you have to understand you are in Madison County and their are people that shop and eat in Madison that also live in the County and pay modest amounts in taxes as well. Granted they are behind in growth but when Madison is out growing everything around them, If you don't reach back and grab some of the others you will run the risk of looking selfish,not loving your neighbor as yourself and therefore you gain nothing.

I have a question, I am not from Madison and not familiar with area politics but: If these two are so unpopular why are they re-elected?

for the same reason Ted Kennedy was reelected over and over. inertia

Mary is NOT unpopular. she is AWESOME.

Kingfish obviously THINKS so TOO!!!

Wow, the last year or so it has been bashing Dick Hall. But nothing has been said about him in all latest fighting. I think it is time Dick Hall comes out and tells them all how it is going to be and that since now it has been shown that the supes of Madison can not be trusted ethically nor are they experienced in design/build of interchanges they just sign the taxoayers name to blank checks to Rudy. Can't the state come in and seize the bond money and build the interchange the way it should have been done from the get go.

Mary's gaming on this one isn't receiving a rousing applause here in Madison. She does many things right but these attacks she launches garner less support each time she does it.

I am?

Dick Hall is something else. He always seems to have an excuse for EVERYTHING. He and former PRVD ED Griffin are just alike in that respect. Always seems like he is reacting to a problem ten years after it needed a solution. I mean, up in Madison, they probably DO need another interchange but he was of the mindset they'll study if for a few years and in ten years they might get one. You know, you drive to ATL and what do you see? a bunch of interstate lanes when you cross the state line. we all know the growth is going to Canton and the traffic will only get worse but do we take any steps in foresight of this? Nope. Instead we will wait til it becomes a nightmare and THEN commission a study.

Full disclosure: In the poll, I voted for the Two Lakes Conspiracy option.

First I voted for Two Lakes Conspiracy option a few times.

Also, went to McDades today and got short ribs. I asked the gal to cut them 3-4 inches and thick. AWESOME! And $2 less per pound ($3.99)than Fresh Market. For cooking, will smoke them on Green Egg with Hickory for 4-5 hours then serve with Emeril's BBQ sauce. Heaven, pure Heaven. Two thumbs up for McDades, meat was even fresher than what was at FM, and the cuts at fresh market were less than half of what I got at McDades. I'm a new customer now.

I am betting Dick Hall will have a lot to say now that the cat is out of the bag. Remember when Rudy ran against him. People tend to forget what happen in Neshoba County but an elephant never forget.

Back when kingfish used his screen name to argue with and berate posters - before he started doing it anonymously.

North Madison county got its park complete with palatial club house with generator, WIFI, gates you have a code or scan card to get through, walking trails, fishing lake and full time county employee to over see things at Paul Griffin Park!!
