Jackson Mayoral candidate campaign finance reports

Here are the campaign finance reports for the Harvey Johnson, Jonathan Lee, and Regina Quinn campaigns. Harvey sitting on a wad of cash- over $100,000 cash on hand. Ms. Quinn reported a nice $25,000 donation from her husband and has over $10,000 cash on hand. Mr. Lee reports over $12,000 cash on hand. The rest of the candidates could not be bothered to file reports. Guess Chokwe and Frank think the laws do not apply to them. But then, when you represent thugs or your main campaign worker is a known thug, such failures to obey the law should not surprise anyone.

Notice Airwaves donated to Lee. Pretty much sums up his campaign.

Question: If one does not follow the rules and provide the information, are they still allowed to advance and appear on the ballot?

Note that Quinn's largest expenditure is to Maverick Development Company in the sum of $12,000. Maverick is an administratively dissolved Mississippi limited liability company whose sole member and manager is her husband, also her largest contributor, reported at $25,000.

Some brave soul in the legislature needs to pass a law making it a crime for the county circuit clerks to put someone on the ballot who is not current with his campaign finance reports by the time the ballot has to be finalized. Of course, this would go over like a flood in a Fizzie factory in a group of people who aren't too keen on filing their campaign finance reports anyway, but it would give the opponents of the no voters something to use against them.

There are fines if you don't file according to the required schedule....$50 per day.

If I remember correctly, Lumumba defended a murdering rapist Elliott Culp in Durant a decade or so ago and was fined by the judge but refused to pay the fine. So, he got himself 'cited'. Big deal.

Was that the one where he got a contempt citation for claiming that he had "paid for justice" before and that he'd do it again, after which he walked up and slapped some cash down on the bench? Definitely mayoral material, I'd say.

10:19 you are wrong. Lee is the only candidate that has any chance of getting the city out of the ditch. Anyone with a dollar in his pocket should be giving part of it to his campaign.

As long as Lee is associated with Ben Allen he is the toxic candidate.

And what's wrong with Ben Allen. He could've abandoned Jackson and moved to Madison long ago like so may others have. Why put up with the hassle?

Lee is not associated with Ben Allen but you seem to be associated with stupid.

Lee doesn't have the necessary experience, he's just easy to manipulate.

I wish the city was more white so Ben could be elected Mayor. He is committed to the city. I am on several committees with him. You must have some petty axe to grind 9:22 or spell it out. What is your specific issue. Man up and tell?

Holy Hemp! Looks like someone above was smoking some good weed last night. JLee is attached to RINO Ben at the hip. You can pretend otherwise but most peeps know that JLee is the downtowners' candidate.

Lee should be every Jacksonian's candidate. At a minimum, he should be every Jacksonian taxpayer's candidate. This really is it for the city. It can't handle four more years of deeper descent into the cesspool.

Ben was on the city council and did nothing but argue and crack bad jokes. What makes you think he'd be an effective mayor?

Anonymous said...

Yeah he was so caustic and argumentative his 6 Democrat colleagues, 5 of whom were black, elected him, a Republican, as President. Axe, meet grind.

President of the city council is a rotational thang and, if nothing else, a meaningless gift blacks sometimes give whites to make them feel welcome while they strap them into an electric chair. I know it pumped you up though, Ben.

Did they bring back Old Sparky and I missed it?

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
