Last night's meeting of the Pelahatchie Board of Aldermen meeting was one for the books. The evening began with an invasion by the Nation of Islam and ended with a hollerin' between the Mayor and an Alderman. Somehow, the town bidness got done in a timely manner.
The day began with the news that Mayor Ryshonda Beechem found a "rope" hanging from a door in the break room. She did what folks do in 2019, she ran to Facebook. She posted Friday:
The media picked it up yesterday and away we went. The police investigated. It is not known if they took 27 8x10 colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was.
Tommy Lyles told police he placed the twine on a hook in the door six months ago when he was Town Clerk. He found the twine while cleaning out a room. The twine is used to hang banners. The cleaning lady told the police the twine had on the hook for at least three months. The Police Chief, Joe Daughtry, is black.
However, the theatrics continued last night as the Nation of Islam invaded Pelahatchie. Yup, a NOI crew surrounded the audience during the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night although at least three police officers were present. The Mayor left with them when the meeting was over and conversed with them in the parking lot behind City Hall. They stood stoically as the meeting progressed.
The fun was just starting as Mr. Lyles levied several accusations against the Mayor during the public comments period. (4:40). He asked who are the Pelahatchie election commissioners. He said the Department of Revenue told him the taxes collected at the Muscadine Festival was not submitted. He urged the Board and Mayor to garnish the pay of any public officials who were delinquent on his water bill. The Mayor sat unruffled through it all as she quietly read the latest edition of the Pelahatchie News.
The Board meeting itself was only twenty minutes long. The meeting crescendoed and ended with a double forte smackdown between Alderman Michael Adams and Mayor Beechem that lasted another ten minutes. Watch the entertaining video for yourself.

When the chicken workers take charge.
Kingfish reminds me of a child playing with matches under the back porch. He gone feel real bad when he burns the house down.
Just curious...did the NOI dudes pledge allegiance to the flag?
2019 and racists are still intimidated black men in suits and red bowties. The Prophet Elijah Mohammad knew what he was doing.
@10:55 AM - No, they turned and faced Mecca.
Lol well they should not pair up with the mayor., she has a lot to give in count of for her lies and fraud if her good people. She has fed a lot of people help pie and when they realize it they will be running off. Her lies and schemes are catching up fast.
I was told long ago, "If you're gonna lie always make sure you're the smartest one in the room". This fool mayor wouldn't be the smartest in a room full of sock puppets.
This group needs to visit The Rogue.
I don't under stand what a group from the nation of islam has to do at a Pelahatchie Board Meeting. Maybe this is who is going to pay her last court fees since she agreed to pay Ms. Jones for stealing her credit card and not paying her back. She don't live there and gas does cost. Who knew you can make money off a rope used to hang banners. Really hope she enjoys her last two years in office. Her revenge for her mothers wrong doing is truly evil.
@11:16, not a soul in that room was intimidated by those goons in the suits and red bow ties.
12:33 pm. I completely agree. I don’t think they intimidated anyone.
voter apathy will destroy a town, a state, and a country.
No pun intended.
Let me give you all an FYI. The NOI should have sent in the FOI. Modus operandi? Call the FBI.
Did you know the FOI are educated K-12 at MUI? Some then go on to U of I and are proud Fighting Illini.
Aye aye.
It will be over soon and she will be home. Then if she screws up off to jail she will go..
This whole orchestrated event has been a racist sham by her and her council(looking at you Bellinder). Her aunt was let go(not fired and charged) for stealing money from the police dept. Ryshonda openly vowed her avenge her aunts "termination" and "ruin the town". Many tried to come onto this blog in the early stages when this was going down to tell the real side of it, and it is now coming to light how much of a fool she is. She irresponsible and wanting to throw the race card around. No one wants her gone because she is black, they want her gone because she doesn't know what the hell she is doing. Her whole MO for running was revenge and then her council decided it would bode well to throw down the race card any time she didn't get her way or someone opposed her. Even the AA board members knows she's an idiot. She's trying one last attempt before all the cards come crumbling down. This has been one big dog and pony show and try and bring down this quiet little town using race, when she doesn't even live there. #triedtotellyall
So the racist drama queen brings some thugs from NOI to subtly intimidate folks. That's not exactly an effective way to advance your not-so-hidden agenda.
Glossy photos with arrows....I saw what you did there😂😂
I’m just going to put this out there! This rope crap came up not long after her civil case was made public. The attention was on her too personally so she had to divert it. It has nothing to do with anything!
How was she elected Mayor if she doesn’t live there? Also, if she doesn’t live in Pelahatchie, where does she live? Strange!
The poor little Mayor may need to be more concerned about the "new" jobs that Multi Craft has not created.....
Citizens need to become more informed about what’s going on in their towns, so that they don’t elect someone who isn’t up to the job.
