Whoa. More spending is questioned over at the Hinds County Election Commission. WLBT's Athony Warren reported:
members of the Hinds County Election Commission said multiple agencies had launched investigations into the commission, for the spending of more than $1.8 million in grant funds largely from the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
The grant was awarded to the group last fall, to help provide election outreach and to ensure safe elections amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, a review of the contracts shows that funds were spent to purchase everything from big-screen televisions and projectors to home appliances. Meanwhile, lucrative contracts were awarded to firms for work that appeared to be outside those vendors’ scopes of service.....
records indicate that last fall, New Beginnings received at least $118,000 in CTCL funds to provide cleaning services for the November elections and another $1,950 to provide catering to the Hinds County Resolution Board, the group that reviews ballots following the elections...... Rest of article.
New Beginnings is a beauty supply store in Crystal Springs. The store sells hair and personal care products, not actual beauty. Thousands of dollars were also spent on training and food. However, several Election Commissioners said they did not attend the training even though their names were listed as doing so.
Sudie Jones-Teague is the registered agent for New Beginnings. She formed New Beginnings on May 19, 2020. Could this be the same Sudie Jones?
Kingfish note: You know what this means? It's all Connie Cochran's fault (sarcasm.).

Somebody -- or somebodies -- is going to jail.
It never stops-
Makes it even funnier when folks question my comments about theft from our elected from top to bottom and that includes the schools. This is a perfect example of skimming. 80,000 dollar 4 wheel drives not mentioned here ? Why ?
Get Shad on it. Hopefully we'll see arrests quickly, particularly if they can show the documentation of the services was deliberately falsified.
Well, the Zuckerberg bucks stimulated the economy and swung an election. What a great American he is!
"The store sells hair and personal care products, not actual beauty." Now that's funny right there........ 8:25 - I doubt any somebodies will go to jail over this, but they should.
This is going to be fun to watch
They all riding nice as well. Wonder if those were paid with cash or financing ?? You can bet with certainty this goes much deeper than one person.
These Republicans are something else....
Can bling and hair extensions be returned? Asking for an election commissioner.
They are not as smart as Graham. You get dirty ONLY in CASH!
Girrrrrllll, it cost money to get your hair and nails did to look this good.
Democrats just being democrats...waiting on the FBI to take a look at the mayor and his special relationships or could it be that's already underway?
I guess some folks don’t comprehend what happens to crooks! Can you say, “what is that smell”? Officer says, Lysol and Ass.
Did any polling places actually get cleaned and sanitized, by the photography studio?
Again...It's as simple as this (theoretically speaking of course):
I'll give you a five thousand dollar check if you'll cash it, keep a thousand and give me four thousand back.
