Supes rescind lobbyist hire

The Hinds County Board of Supervisors voted 3-0 today to rescind the hiring of "lobbyist" Firnist Alexander.  Supervisors Doug Anderson and Kenneth Stokes were not present for the vote. 

The supervisors voted 4-1 Monday to hire Mr. Alexander.  The decision generated no small amount of controversy as it became known Mr. Alexander was disabarred by the Mississippi Supreme Court and had a history of ethical problems with the Bar.  Mr. Alexander said he would charge a retainer of $10,000 plus an hourly rate. However, the "lobbyist" said the greatest expense would be the wining and dining of legislators.  The Supervisors also voted to request proposals from interested lobbyists.

Lt. Robert Graham of the Jackson Police Department would like all Hinds Countians to rest easy and know that he won't stand for the Firnist Alexanders of this county to pull the wool over the eyes of our citizenry.

Hinds County ... A World of Difference!

Perhaps Mr. Supervisor Stokes could pay the former Lawyer Whats-His-Name out of his own pocket.....where he keeps the cash for the bus company.

So let me get this strait, kenny steamrolls this person of questionable character in to represent the board of sups. Then he disappears when its time to actually stand behind his man. It still just boggles my mind he was elected to any office. I can't wait to see him run for Bennie t's seat when B retires. He'll probably get it.

kennif was quoted in the clarion liar the next day: 'i dint know the man was debarred, but i hope the court reconsider.' not burdened by those pesky facts...

You have to understand that Kenny don't have to show up for meetings. No one is going to tell him what to do......or it's off to yo momma yo momma land again.....

You think some bright person found out the "retainer" to a non-attorney might be illegal?

"...the absence of statutory authority for state agencies and political subdivisions to make payments in advance for goods and services. See MS AG Ops. Wadkins (Nov. 7, 1994) and Brumfield (May 12, 1989). The underlying rationale of the advance payment prohibition is that the state and its political subdivisions are not authorized in the ordinary course of business to pay for goods and services that have been contracted for, but have not yet been received. In fact, in many instances such a practice is prohibited by the Mississippi Constitution. See Secs. 66 and 96, Miss. Const. (1890).

I know for a fact the board attorney was told about the law this week since the Monday vote.

KF, I wouldn't count this as over yet.

first vote 4-1, hire him
second vote 3-0 to rescind with Stokes and Anderson not present.

I seem to remember a little back and forth on a vote not so long ago where they woiuld get some to the meeting to vote, then others would undo the vote, then it would get done again. Rediculous.

There is one and only one Hinds County supe with a brain and that is Phil Fisher. Thank God for him.

These elected "officials", with the Exception of Fisher, are a group of blundering, inept, uneducated Baffoons!! What Elected or NON-elected body would EVER enter into Such a fiscal agreement with ANYONE without FIRST doing a little something All high school sophomores are required to do; RESEARCH!! It took me a full 5 minutes to see this Disgraced lawyer Has a Long PUBLIC record, Including disbarment. Sure lets give him all the funds He needs to fill His stomach & Liver "wining & dining", all while Laughing at You the voters, to "achieve" the goals of Hinds Co.
For the board PRESIDENT to be such an IGNORANT "police", (Whatever FALSE title he's given himself these days) is Beyond PATHETIC to simply vote YES, then retract stating, "I Didn't Know.." WTH!! As president, the buck stops with You! This board has no concerns for the public trust or funds. Even worse, the fact that bus rental NON-payment Stutterin Stokes STATED "he don't care bout no 'barment', Shows his integrity. Hinds county is already the JOKE of the state!! Majority of This board should be Forced OFF the "F-Cliff" (I Don't mean Fiscal either!!)

Great synopsis from 4:15. The dumb-ass's dont know the meaning of morals, integrity, and honesty. Likewise, they are defrauding every homeowner in the county, just as the Jackson, BAFFOONS are screwing the citizens of their beloved community. If it weren't for medical and government jobs, there would be no Jackson.

The best part is I don't have to spin anything. All I have to do is post the video and let y'all watch.

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.
