Auditor goes after Graham. NECI President accuses Graham of fraud.

WLBT reported the State Auditor is filing suit against Hinds County Supervisor Robert Graham:

Graham avoided WLBT but instead granted an interview to WAPT. Hmmm..... couldn't be because Cheryl might have asked him some real questions, would it be? Then there are these comments made on this website by CEO Charles Carter. I have verified their authenticity.

"Robert Graham has posted a list of former clients that he would have you believe hosted his 9-1-1 training company courses. Just as in other aspects of his life, this is untruthful. Eight of them were courses we contracted him to conduct for NECI as a contract instructor before we discoverd he was copying our course manuals and selling them as his. Some of these include the FBI Academy, FBI Field Office, Waco, TX Pasqui Yaqui Tribal Police, AZ Uncasville, CT and others.

Robert Graham has committed fraud on the City of Jackson, the citizens of Jackson, Hinds County and the State of Mississippi.

How could anyone with such a record of fraudulent activity not be ashamed to run for public office? How could anyone in their right mind elect him to public office?

If you re-elect him, you deserve him.

Charles D. Carter
President, CEO
National Emergency Communications Institute (NECI)
3535 Peachtree Rd, NE
Suite 520-417
Atlanta, GA 30326

and made a second comment under his name:

Thank you for the positive support.

Graham fooled me for several years thinking he was a Lieutenant with the Jackson PD and 9-1-1 Director in addition to being an instructor at the JPD Police Academy.

I have since discovered that was a lie in addition to him making copies of our 9-1-1 training manuals, charging 9-1-1 agencies $495.00 for everyone he taught whicle the agencies were reimbursed by the state 9-1-1 board for the $495.00. He easily made $10,000 on some classes at the taxpayers expenses. He conducted many classes form 1996 until 2007 when we discovered the fraud and decertified him. In some classes, he used non-certified instructors contrary to MS statutory requirements for 9-1-1 certification.

When I notified Mr. Brantly, Finance Director at Jackson PD of the fraud, he said, "Let sleeping dogs lie." When I notified the state 9-1-1 board, they ask us to help them cover it up (Graham's fraud) by issuing certificates to all those 9-1-1 personnel he taught." We didn't. They (state 9-1-1 board) waived the certification for those taught fraudulently by Graham in violation of the MS Statute requiring 9-1-1 persons to be "duly certified" by one of the 9-1-1 certification programs "officially" recognized by the state board. Those individuals taught by Graham with bogus training materials aren't duly certified and are currently working unlawfully.

When we notified the Attorney General, we were told he is involved with an election and we don't have time.

When we told the State Auditor, we were told they would look into it. They did and fined him the $46k he received for "double-dipping" but did nothing about the crimes and the cover-ups by Jackson PD and the state 9-1-1 board.

When you are asked, "What's in your wallet?" you can say, "The hand of Robert Graham."

Good luck in November and for the next four years with Graham.

Scrutiny. Lt. Graham avoids it like the plague. They don't do scrutiny @ WAPT or journalism for that matter.

Is there any hope of getting this thief out of office?

I feel like the widow of an Al Capone murder victim, reading that Capone has been indicted for tax evasion.

We have an excellent candidate for this post in the person of John Dennery, long-time Jackson restaurateur. This race will be determined by get-out-the-vote efforts. If you live in the first district, get all of your neighbors to the polls. Otherwise, forfeit your bitching permit when Graham is re-elected.

Reading this makes me furious and makes me so damn glad I don't live in Hinds County. The place is run by a bunch of thugs who are stealing the citizens dry. No wonder there is not enough money to do anything. If they aren't steaing it themselves, they are giving it to their friends through bogus contracts. This is just sick, and Robert Graham is a pathetic person.

Was he wearing his police uniform and carrying his night stick? If Graham was a Repub he would have been driven into humiliation already for his impersonating of real cops.

Poor Robert Graham. Graham's attorney Lisa Ross said "We've said from day 1 that we'll see the Auditor's lawyers in court" and "the doors to the courthouse are open and if Carter wants to file a lawsuit he can."

Robert Graham is feeling safe. Lisa Ross is always full of the kind of cocksure swagger and "bring it on" fearlessness that makes a client confident he will win.

Lawyers who know Lisa Ross know that ole Robert should be feeling anything but confident. Lisa's strengths include trash talking, being disagreeable for the sake of being disagreeable, and boldly daring her client's enemies to come after her client. Her weakness is that she does not have the skills to do anything productive for her client in court. When they get closer to trial Robert is going to realize that he's got a lawyer with a nasty attitude and empty head. In plaintiffs cases she can cover up her ignorance by finding a real lawyer to take over the case. Thats easy to do because the client does not have to pay the new lawyer. New lawyer gets paid from Lisa's contingency fee.

Not so easy in Robert's case. No money to collect so getting a cocounsel at the 11th hour to save the case is not an option. Robert is going to have to pay the real lawyer out of his pocket. By the time he gets to court he will have paid out more for lawyers than he could have settled the case for.

Poor Robert. He should have known better than to hire a lawyer from the ghetto.

Lisa Ross contacted a friend of mine needing an "emergency" response to summary judgment. My friend looked into it and told her that before she filed a response to s.j., she needed to respond the the court's second show cause order to explain why she had not complied with a previous discovery order. My friend declined to help under the circumstances and the case was dismissed, as the judge promised, for Ross's failure to show cause.

Bet you; NO I double bet you. No one has the cajones to actually go through with prosecuting corruption.

It is easier to palliate the masses.

10/14 10:59; surely you can't be surprised. The entire game plan that began back about 1980 is (first) get all the gubment jobs and, (second) get your hands on all the gubment money. It's really just that simple. They've taken over every state agency, every town in the Delta except one, and most boards of supervisors in this state. They own the state house and are making a run at the mansion. Just a matter of time. tick tock tick tock.

And look no further than the leader of the regime in DC for confirmation that it's all about 'financial equality'. "It's not the IS-NESS of today. It's the OUGHT-NESS of tomorrow".

You control the jobs, you control the money. You control the money, you rake the pot. You rake the pot, you call the next game.

I would like to offer a response to the statement by the state 9-1-1 board on the issues of waiving the statutory requirements for 9-1-1 dispatcher certification in courses fraudulently conducted by Robert Graham.

When I provided them with documents from their own files that proved Graham had submitted fraudulent documents, they acknowledged the fraud but requested NECI issue certificates to legitimize the fraudulent training. We refused. We were then advised that since they actually took an NECI course, even though conduced under fraudulent circumstances, they were going to consider the students trained in one of Grahams courses as duly certified since they took one of the two course recognized by the state 9-1-1 board.

I understand their rationalization but question their authority to waive a statutory requirement, especially when fraud is concerned. However, I have since been provided with documents that demonstrate unequivocally that the course used by Graham was one from another training company previously rejected by the state 9-1-1 board, Professional Pride of Washington State. Therefore, the premise for their decision was flawed. In my opinion, there are employees in many police departments, sheriff’s departments, and 9-1-1 centers in Mississippi that are still working unlawfully as they have not met the statutory requirement outlined in MS HB 903, 1993, § 19-5-303.

Chapter 07: Standards for Successful Completion of the Emergency Telecommunications Training Program

102.05 Every student who successfully completes any type of training course will receive a vendor certificate, signed by the course instructor and/or other appropriate official, which evidences successful completion of the course. In addition, the course instructor or course vendor will send a copy of the vendor certificate and the course roster to the Board for purposes of state certification.

The state 9-1-1 board should be asked the following questions:

1. When you waived the requirement for a NECI certificate to be issued by NECI certificates, were you aware the training manual used by Graham was not an NECI manual but a manual made up partially by Professional Pride and other material by Graham?
2. If that is a fact and substantiated by documentary evidence, what will you do?
3. If you were provided with documentary evidence of fraud by Robert Graham, why did you not forward the information to the Attorney general as required on Page 19, 102.02, which states, “The staff may also initiate a request through the director to the investigative division of the Office of the Attorney General for further investigative support if needed.”

I know this is quite lengthy but necessary to make the points.

Thanks you for your time.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
