And Then There Were Twenty?

 There might be only 20 people running for Mayor of Jackson instead of the 22 who qualified last week.  WLBT reported: 


Sorry, Ms. Sanders is a convicted felon.  Although she claimed the case "was resolved," the court record spells out how it was resolved: Guilty.  She was found guilty of wire fraud and sentenced to five years probation a year ago.  There is no order in the docket releasing her from probation nor reversing her conviction.  She also has to make restitution of $54,379 in $50 monthly installments.  

Go home.

And yet Lumumba's campaign finance reports that appear to be done by a third grader are perfectly acceptable.

At $50 per month, that’s about 90 years. Let her work some of it off at Parchman.

10:42, i don't believe decoj has authority to rule on the truthfulness of the filings. they can only state whether they are on file. other institutions have investigative powers.

Now I can understand how a felon wants to run for Mayor of Jackson Ms. She understands the crime problems of the City and has been through the Criminal Justice System herself. Her run for Mayor will be a test of what Jacksonian’s really want for their future. Hold up, it’s too early to be drinking, let me put this liquor down!
Now for real I’ll quit playing! I did not see anyone on the list running for Mayor that I would vote for! We got to do better!

What a bunch of idiots....
"Jackson, Miss.– A former City of Jackson employee was sentenced to 5 years of probation for wire fraud and ordered to pay approximately $54,000 in restitution.

According to court documents, Keyshia Sanders, 48, the City of Jackson’s former Constituent Service Manager, pleaded guilty to engaging in a wire fraud scheme to fraudulently induce the disbursement of grant money for her own benefit. The scheme involved the use of fraudulent invoices that caused the grant’s fiscal agent to disburse funds to Sanders in clear contradiction to the terms of the grant and Sander’s role as a City of Jackson employee. The grant was intended to provide project support in the City of Jackson to invest in artists, artist collectives, and small arts organizations. In total, the fraudulent transactions caused by Sanders over the course of the scheme totaled a loss of approximately $54,000.

U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee of the Southern District of Mississippi and Special Agent in Charge Jermicha Fomby of the Federal Bureau of Investigation made the announcement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Mississippi State Auditor’s Office investigated the case."

I think Ms. Sanders would be a perfect fit for Jackson. She has already demonstrated she is untrustworthy.

At $50 a month Ms Sanders will complete paying back what she has stolen in 90 years.

Sanders was sentenced to five years of probation and was ordered to pay $54,379.70 in restitution and a special assessment fee of $100.

“I’m not going to continue to talk about that. That is something that was done and handled and taken care of and resolved,” she said.


I can understand why she doesn't want to talk about being a convicted felon.

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again"

What difference does it make. So she's a felon. In Jackson? Big deal. Sham si deen is not doing anything unusual among democrat politicians. He has no desire to actually LIVE where he makes his money, especially in Jackson. Why not use another address? Just jive talkin' They do it all the time.

Ms. Sanders is over-qualified. Right?

That is 90 years and six months with no interest accruing on the principal. Geez, I'm glad she didn't use a credit card.

Well she feel if Trump can be President as a felony she can run for mayor

It's just like a credit card!

Saying you'll pay is one thing, actually paying is something else!

I have no doubt that all you keyboard warriors crowing about being a convicted felon voted for the convicted felon in the White House.

She needs the job to pay the restitution.

I sure did, 3:07, but the convicted felon I voted for was convicted in a kangaroo court of a technical violation, whereas Sanders actually broke the law.

Anonymous said...

3:07, how is that sentence going for him. When will he get out of prison? Seems like he would be locked up if the conviction was serious. You do realize that that was just so Democrats could call him a “convicted felon” on the campaign trail. You guys just can’t see past the hate you have for that man.

Hehehehe, and he's still your president, hehehehe.

I think Atty Funches would do a good job. I met him in 1994, he was my Business Law Professor at JSU. He is a lifelong resident of the city who actually cares about the City and its people. Plus he doesn't have a need to steal or take a bribe!

The real question is which two candidates will emerge from this primary. Ladies and gentlemen make your predictions.

I think Chokwe plans to win the general so he can appoint Sister R to replace him when he pleads out.

You people are pretty dumb if you think Chock did not appoint a 'feather-bird' to the position of 'manager of constituent services'.

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.
