Cue Kenny who says:

We ain't gonna take dis.

Laws.....we don't care 'bout no stinkin' laws...!

Are there any provisions in the statutes for recall of county supervisors? I need to encourage my legislators to take that up next time around if it's not there. It's ridiculous that they have to clearly break the law before anything can happen to them other than losing reelection, and even then there has to be a willing sheriff and prosecutor. It might not ever work, but some sort of recall procedure needs to be available for the citizens who are stuck under leaders like this.

The ability to 'recall' Hinds County Supervisors would be like plucking three fireants from a mound, then poking a drinking straw into it to incite the rest. There are thousands more who are equally as incompetent or more incompetent to assume the role immediately.

Recall? Please. Their voters really don't care.

Bill... where have you been for the last several years? I wish I had a dollar for every time the Hinds BOS has thumbed it's nose at the law. 12:55 said it correctly "they don't care about ANY stinking laws. They are above the law and NOONE will do anything to stop them,and they know it! Not only are they above the law, they treat people in a contemptable manner. They have no respect for ANYONE! They will mow over people with no regard at all. If one of us stood up there and talked to them the way they talk to people we would be made to shut up or get out! They are the only ones with a voice.

Bill if you believe that any of your legislators will pass any law that could directly affect their county government in a negative way, you must be living in a dream world. Why haven't ANY of our state officials or legislators from Hinds ever looked at this? If they have, then they don't care, or are afraid of the all powerful Lt. Graham and his side kick, or maybe both.

A recall law would do no good whatsoever because most of their constituents think they're doing a great job.

I love it when an AG Opinion is literally just 2 pages of the author changing certain sections of the LAW to boldface.

No real summary or rephrasing because NOBODY but Kenny was unclear on how to interpret this.

The AG Opinion is crystal clear.
Kenny will not understand it.
He will ask for clarification.
Rinse and repeat.

The attorney general should bring charges for Official MisConduct and Oppression. He should be able to find a law for violaitons, and include fines and prison time for Graham and Stokes. They already committed crimes by not meeting deadlines and accepting official duties for which they are not qualified.

Good idea: let's tell Hinds County voters that their elected officials didn't pay legally-binding debts. I'm sure they'll be shocked and appalled, and run those bastards straight out of office.

"Failure to promptly pay one's debts? Unheard of!" said no one in Hinds County ever.

Maybe Kenny will recommend paying Malachi to "study" the feasibility of implementing the AG's opinion

While I disagree with the BOS, it's worth noting that an AG's opinion is just that-an opinion, not law.

Phil Carter was a lot nicer in his reply that would have I. My reply would have been: get your friggin board attorney to read some fairly simple statutes.

...it's worth noting that an AG's opinion is just that-an opinion, not law.

No kidding? Really? Damn, nobody here ever knew that before.

1:53 PM, where have I been? Madison. Did you believe I was asking about Hinds County? I care about Hinds County and Jackson because I live in the metro area and it's our state capital, but my more immediate concern is my own county. Spare me the rhetoric. If you don't know the answer to my question just say so. Maybe you're right about our legislature, maybe you're not, but other places have the ability to recall elected officials and there's no reason why we shouldn't.

5:20 You can google recall of elected officials, as I did. I don't think you could force a recall on these idiots, according to my interpretation. They, however, do not realize their own limitations, and would probably be subject to criminal actions, if someone(s) would pursue those.

... and would probably be subject to criminal actions, if someone(s) would pursue those.

Through what channels? Our Unic State Auditor?

So I want to get absentee ballot Friday . . . will it be there in Circuit Clerk's office?

Maybe the AG Opinion should have been written in crayon. Naw, that wouldn't work either.

4:37, I've seen lawyers (and others) try to hold AG Opinions as out as more than opinions. So, while no one "here" may be guilty of such erroneous thinking, it exudes from some.

2:05 hit the nail on the head. This wasn't so much an opinion (and as such, open to interpretation) as it was a cut and paste job of taking crystal clear statutory language and placing it just under the AG's letterhead.

A first year law student learns the significance of 'must' and 'shall'. Those are unequivocal in law. Shame on the Board attorney for not doing the research or not having the requisite client control. Tongue was planted firmly in cheek on that last one.

Guess Graham is going to pretend to be a Judge taking the opinion under advisement...like he pretends he was a certified police officer!

So the Supervisors can't spray for skeeters, can't build roads, and can't hold elections.

Sounds like they are stocked up on can't do but fresh out of can do.

They think they are untouchable and have no limitations. The attorney general and or hinds Co. DA should bring them before a grand jury to show cause why they should be impeached.

They are untouchable.So people will just stay away from them.

3:53 They will eventually get the attention of the wrong person(s) and get their ass busted. I don't really think the attorney general or DA would make an effort; after all they are democraps too.

4:14, just who is this person(s)?

6:24 research the Ms. code. Perhaps as few as five people could post a bond and pursue dismissal for incomptency and dereliction of duties. They probably wouldn't face fines or jail time, but could possibly be impeached. I'm not a lawyer, but did find precedence in Alabama.

According to wlbt/ms news today a florida drone manuf has purchased500acres on the proposed Clinton byram parkway for development. Hinds comm college began training drone pilots sometime back along with improvements to the Raymond airport. There are probably other projects on the drawing board. If the three outlaws on the BOS screw this up, along with the election, action needs to be taken by citizens, if govt officials won't.

ON WLBT news tonight the executive commentor suggested we have a Reality Comedy Show featuring SNOOKY Graham and BOO BOO Stokes. This would get them out of office, so qualified, honest people could be elected to replace them.

I think the best thing to do is sell some bonds, use part of the money to pay for the primaries, and have a party with the rest errr invest it for a rainy day err start saving to by some drones to borrow to some local exterminator so the skeeter can be sprayed by a local company. Dont want no more of that North Rhind disese.
